Regarding Hugh Crane... They are multi-trillionaires.  Well they must be, I recently tried to buy some CAT pump oil off them and they obviously don't need my money because they didn't return my calls or emails

Well I wouldnt go that far, but it is a very sound company with a net worth of a few £million, farmers for you eh, and they always say they've got no money  :

Don't really want to make it a 'Hugh Crane' thread.... Been a customer since 1993 watched the company grow on it's present site, get free delivery, credit and good advice. Sorry about your experience Jim, never happened to me in 18 years

tow bar is being fitted as i type. £200

[Mark_Jubb]

I wouldn't of thought £200 was excessive for supply & fit with electrics etc

Same here Simon only 10 miles away from me, use them every now and again always good service pleasure to deal with. Jim if you still need the oil let me know I pass there a few times a week.

All the best,
Jason.

Andrew

[derek west]

reverse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

eeeeeeeeeeeeeek. i'll just unhitch it and turn it round

[Paul_Ashworth]

Think you need a Bigger Van or 4 x4 now Derek, I would imagine if that was full of water you would be over weight. Looks like its a monster bet you cant wait to try it out ??

Paul
P.s Hows the leaflets coming along ??

[Mike Halliday]

you need to get in a supermarket carpark and practice reversing otherwise you'll go to a job down a cul-de-sac and get stuck

and its always better to reverse of the road when doing job.

[Colin Day]

Just get plenty of practice, it's actually very easy after a few attempts..... You might soon realise you're a closset pikey

does that mean its cheating if i use my xray vision.   trouble is i can't see the trailer if i'm straight (no gay puns please ) thinking of putting a flag either side to help out.

gonna clean me patio tomorrow, can't wait its filthy, will post before and after photo's, gonna do a video as well similar to mike only with an american accent

"howdy pardners, check out my rootin tootin H2O rig" what ya reckon?, yeah needs a little work.

[richy27]

easiest way derek is find a large flat area and practice driving in areverse circle then step it u t doin a figure of eight easy once you know the limits of your turning circle.  remember if you get a wobble on goidown hill speed up dont brake to straighten yourself up.

seriously?

would never of thought that. cheers rich. allthough didn't get a murmour from it for 189 miles and we reached speeds of 75 on mway, plenty of hills up and down, and of course the obligatory pot holes.

[richy27]

no am serious derek  you speed up to get out of a wobble and then brake slowly once stopped the wobble you will find this will happen when tank is full weight causes it.
