Re: Classic pictures Updated 20/04/2024
Interesting with the cross over from rope to hydraulic working alongside. I did a day or two in 1990 on a site contracting a bridge over the Blackwater in Maldon, Essex. They were still using an NCK rope for the everyday site lifting.

Re: Spotted for sale - one for Slooby!
I always thought the silver cab looked smarter than the later red.

Looks like Steve has provided two Weatherill photos, both hi lift versions of the 2H. Not seen one with the banana arms before.

Re: Weatherill
That would be for their largest artic shovels, the L84 and L86. From the proportions I would guess the latter. Probably got to that point too late in the day.

Re: Small gravel pit Essex 1964
Nice one Pete . Particularly like the footage of the lorry being loaded . I was 6 in 1964 and I used to stand and watch scenes like that whenever I could . I was totally in awe of the men and the machines they were driving. Those were the days when you could let your kids play in the streets so our...

Re: Thwaites Alldrive
On first look, it does not look that big but the fact it has a Ford 4 pot and the axles look substantial suggests it is certainly more than 3 ton model. Useful gear box set up as well. I am guess a late 70s/early 80s model?

Re: New Holland Combine
I think there are still a few of that era of New Hollands running on smaller mixed farms with small fields and narrow lanes. Here, on the more arable orientated farms, of Essex and East Anglia, the combines (and everything else) have just got bigger and bigger. When I worked as a student over 40 yea...
