Seems like quite a bit of interest in this; A couple of CMN members are coming down to have a look and a test drive. it is a lovely machine and it will be sad to see it go, but my collection keeps growing and evolving and you need to rationalise some times. Nice thing is there are a nice bunch of pe...

Re: Aveling Barford DX8 Roller

Andy Yes it drives and grips well but steep ramps can be a bit hairy even with ply on them. Last time we moved it the ramps on the low loader were a bit savage and we helped it up with a telescopic loader behind it. Winch assistance is always a good comforting feeling! I have also moved it with a fl...

Re: D7 4T

We have had an electrician spend several hours on it...
