ive thoght about that , the bigest problem is jint finances or if truth b told she does the money side of things part of my disleksia is not only word blidness , and crap spellin / gramer
but the total in ability to deal with numbers so i cant deal with money as it just cnfuses me so if i was to get on she would have to sort out money as i fisikly couldnt so i couldnt just buy one iff that makes sence
how ever if any one wants to be my mate and leave me a rubber duck or even a tracked machine i would be there mate and i wouldnt use it much
the older the plant , the more i like it ,
im dislesik so escuse my spelin gramer
I crushed my spine years ago and im soposed 2 b in a wheel chair
so every day when i wake up and my legs still work is like crimbo day

Hi Wiggy,
Fair play to you mate, respect for your sig., particularly the; "so every day ....... is like crimbo day"
Reckon the missus ought to get yer yer duck!

Been looking for a decent sensibly priced duck myself for a while, but they don't seem to be about out there.
This has been on ebay for a while, on/off, dunno whether Santa'd stretch to it for yer?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111234940249?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649
VA boom an' all.
A silly offer might land it? ;)
Good luck on the duck hunt!
Have you tried sprinkling bread out on the floor to attract one :D You never know

Have a good one Boyo

If it's got tracks, wheels, t*ts, or an engine, at some point it's gonna give you trouble!!

Hi Wiggy,
Hope you've had a good one mate.
Did you go out scouting or weather been too grim? :eh:
If it's got tracks, wheels, t*ts, or an engine, at some point it's gonna give you trouble!!

Very pleased with it so far and has been a good machine to date - bit 'duck-like' as you'd expect, but a great choice! :D

Will become a future classic IMHDO ;) :)

Do you want to use it for digging or handling Wiggy? :?
If it''s just digging an' not getting about with loads on board, have you considered a Broyt? Loads of cheap ones come up on this site regularly, for as little as 12-1500 quid
http://www.finn.no/finn/b2b/construction/result?AGRI_SEGMENT/GROUP=8003&AGRI_SEGMENT/GROUP=8009&sort=0

It'll get about under it's own steam, but isn't propelled - walks itself - some pretty amazing vid.s of just what's possible with 'em on 'the tube' :o

DFDS'll cost you about 6-700 quid to ship it home to Immingham, from Brevik Port, as ro ro freight, then a 'ride' home required from the port, this end. ;)
Was going to import a duck, when the 'Drema came up in Norwich, on ebay!! :)
Terrific choice out there ..... and sensible prices!! :D

ON EDIT
Here's an unusual Broyt this morning Wiggy
http://www.finn.no/finn/b2b/construction/object?finnkode=57217819
but they do crop up now and again self propelled £3,400 today's rate
If it's got tracks, wheels, t*ts, or an engine, at some point it's gonna give you trouble!!
