    On the way home from Limerick this afternoon and came across this big low loader with a huge Cat 775E dump truck on the back, outside Toomevara, and the other on the motorway around Mountrath.

    just copy this and it should work for you

    [noparse][/noparse]

    I have added other tags so it does not show up as the vid, if you copy and paste it will.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,811 ✭✭✭✭Slidey


    I just watched the vid, those rear steers are a walking bastard, if your forget you are driving one they will wipe out something with the tail swing.

    Company I do occasional work for has a walking floor with 2 steering axles and a tight entrance, lets just say, they keep rear lamps in stock!

    Some snow removal pics from last night.
    I'm lazy I copying and pasting the description from Farming and forestry
    On a side note, had the pleasure of seeing some heavy duty snow removal outside my house in Canada last night.

    5 Motor graders moved all the snow into one massive windrow in the outside of 4 lanes .
    Next a tractor with a snow blower blew the snow into 40 foot trucks
    Big tractor, was hard to see what it was looked like a Massey but had no decals
    He was under pressure, wasnt doing much more than 4-5 KM/H filling a 40 footer in about 100 yards I would say
    Impressive to see,
    All with live traffic and no lane closures

    Sorry bout low quality it was very dark :)

    They are well used to these winters over here
    Although the snow we had on Wednesday did concern them a lot.

    Some of the county councils in Ireland should be looking into the methods over here.
    I imagine a lot of the silage contractors with big trailers and tractors would be happy enough to use em for snow removal in winter.
    All they would need to buy would be a couple of blades and a blower

    I got mud tyres for the Hilux recently and was trying them out the other day. Makes some difference on mucky forestry tracks

    What weight is that little crane rated to lift and what sort of reach does it have?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,884 ✭✭✭101sean


    It's my brother-in-laws so I'm not certain, think it's 1 tonne and around 4.5m. Can't tell from reading anything on the crane, it's all in Japanese! Don't think he paid much for it but they are around €60k new

    €60k new? Surely you put a zero there by mistake?:eek:

    That's what he told me, he bought it s/h but I suspect the new price was Yen, not €. They are pretty rare although, one was auctioned here last month, seems they are worth €7000 s/h. Found a spec sheet on an Aussie crane hire site, lifts 450kg. http://www.independentcranes.com.au/pdf/450kg.pdf

    Nice pics, I know the guy who owns the Nuffield tractor shown above. Surprised he brought that along, as he has a few really really nice classics, including a very rare (4 in the world) vauxhall coupe from the 30's.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose , I like old cars,trucks,tractors and bikes. That just dont excite me though maybe because I have never seen or even heard of them before . What is special about them?:confused:

    Whats that about half a million miles? It must have a well known engine then or it should be a well known one. I'm only asking now not putting it down and a photo is not always the best way to make a first impression.

    Wasn't having a go. I thought the bus was the star of the show. Something different and spotless inside and out (and underneath!:)).

    A few pics from this weekend, some of the lads decided the extreme course was too tame so made a new one with a couple of 90s, Zooks and an amazing Toyota based buggy with a phenomenally good young driver.

    I didn't take many but will get more at the Dartfield swapmeet next month. Hopefully we'll see even more vehicles other than Land Rover and I'll take some pics on the novice route are to prove you don't have to be panel bending lunatic to have fun!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,884 ✭✭✭101sean


    Pics of last weekends Dartfield meet. There was a wide variety of vehicles there inc several landcruisers, 3 Gwagons and a UAZ. Unfortunately I only seem to have photographed Landrovers :o

    Our Series 3 doing what it was built for, oldest vehicle there and it went everywhere.

    We just picked this up for €100, going to need a thousand or more spending on it though. Fairly rare 59 Series 2

    Costs going down on the Series 2, just been offered a bulkhead off a 58 one gratis, just needs minor patching :D

    Are there any modifications done for an event like this or is it just a matter of making sure the Landy has the right tyres and is well maintained.

    No mods and it was on a set of S/H Michelin XCLs, a military tyre.

    We tried it in the intermediate heavily wooded areas at Dartfield but they are now so cut up you need a winch to get round so backed out. Hopefully they'll do some work to improve it next spring, if they do, any vehicle should get round, still tight for shineys though.

    Extreme areas are for winch equipped, mud tyred vehicles only.
