Just thought I would post a picture of the yellow B'stard hard at work in Germany. Mother in law wanted a load of stones that I lifted up from a dirve way that I replaced. So I loaded them up and drove 250 Miles to the north of Bavaria ( slowly) and returned with a load of wood - I live in Munich.
I have had a lot of respect for my motor for years as it has never let me down but this was the peak. about 3.8 tonnes all up with a 50 year old engine dug out of a scrapper that sat for 20 years on a field earns respect.
I don't know why haulage firms waste loads of cash on expensive, complicated motors. Just buy a fleet of old IIAs, a decent trailer and shares in an oil company.
My LAndy was the best 400 quid I've spent 15 years ago - just goes to show that providing you know one end of a spanner from another, don't mind going deaf or getting piles and are prepared for a more relexed pace, there is no need for spending thousands on a new machine every 3 years.
Everyone should own one of these devices.
There I've said it.
