Well,I’m still doing abit after semi retiring at Christmas 2020.
The D8T is still doing abit every week,but the D9T finished work in November 2022 and hasn’t worked since.It’s had a few jobs start for it during April this year,but I don’t fancy it.It’s currently for sale.
I spend a fair bit of time abroad these days and keep the yard in order and return home if there’s any problems.The D8 got a new undercarriage this year and I do abit of part work for a local plant dealer that gets me in trouble with some big kit.I was working on a D9R with Tony Coates last week and he’s fit and well.

Very nice D8N I had snoozing in the yard for Littler Machinery.
I sold it this week and saw it onto the lowloader yesterday.
I’ve got it’s identical twin though hiding up there also.For sale if anyone fancied an early Christmas/divorce

This D8L was very much better than it looks with nearly new U/C and major components.Engine was a gamble and I sold it in June.It’s new owner took a chance on it and reakons he’s done well with it.
Not many D8L’s around
