Cheers Bubbs,
I remember this one; they had it around '99-2000. Was this pic taken on M4 as they used to run sand out of Gill Mill to Colas plants on a SITA contract. I used to load this one, pre 44t it had a good payload about 26-27t if I recall correctly. They replaced it with an X reg Daf 95 480.
Hi Nathan
I may be wrong ( I quite often am
cheers John.
I’m pretty sure this firm had one of our old Mercs. It was a 2538 reg number N620 YKK or very close to that. In fact i think they may have had two. Can anyone confirm this.

Yes mate they had 2 Merc units around ‘99-2000 I think they were N reg but one was stolen from their yard and the other sold. They bought 2 T reg Actros’ ex CEL from Corby (If my memory’s correct as I loaded them before and after they were repainted). These Actros’ didn’t stay long either (they were heavy).
For those who have had a go with the spanners years ago some examples of old tipping gear.
Three way tipping gear.
Telehoist body, Cheltenham.
This is either Edbro or Pilot bodywork
Cheers Phil.

Here’s a 1924 Bromilow & Edwards hydraulic tipper, in full working order. Edbro used it for publicity for their 75th Anniversary, and they reckoned then it was the oldest survivng hydraulic tipper.
Hello again,more from me.

Hi Phil thanks for the pic both of those Scanias were mine I believe the front one was originally one of D J Lights
That was KOW 496Y seen here earlier before we converted it to a 6X2
Hi again,good pics Phil,I reckon Pat had more 140s/141s go into his fleet than any other operator I know of 
Todays stuff.
Cheers Bubbs,
The Hills AEC looks well smart . . Ridgeway cafe ?
Judging by the amount of mirrors on that TM, the driver must have spent more time looking where he had been . . . . than going
Looks familular,dunno if they ran their own fleet . . ex Kellogs?
Evening all, Suedehead, no disrespect but when you run hay and straw you need lots, and lots of mirrors , it can be an absolute nightmare!! One to see the top, one for the bottom, and I suppose one to see whats going on with the traffic! The mirror arms are never big enough. Thats a rare widecab TM, thank goodness its got, (if my spectacles are working ok) a ■■■■■■■ badge, because if it was a Detroit, someone would be straight on this thread to claim that all those mirrors were to see all the doors that had been blown off the lorries that had been left in the TMs screaming wake!!! Cheerio now.

None taken.
If the mirror arms are not long enough whats the point in putting extra mirrors on it ? Wouldnt it be better to extend the arms,like the Static caravan carriers do(does that make sense)

You lads sound like your terrified of loads of hay and straw!! The “kings” of Hay and straw up our way were ,without doubt,The Bayrams(F &A ) from Newbald in the East Riding,day after day,waggon and trailer loads would come into ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ immaculate! never any probs,those lads were the “creme de la creme” of the hay and straw carriers!! They would occaisionally call into our depot if they had a problem with one of the Scanias and Frank Bayram would always produce a 10ton load of seed grass hay every year for our Standardbred race horses.But anyhow,for a good number of years we used to bring 6 or 7 loads of straw from Sam Smiths Tadcaster farms to our next door neighbour’s farm with no problem whatsoever,albeit the drivers that loaded the straw were lads that were from a farming background so they new the “score”!! However,this year some of the Labour have disappeared on holiday to Weymouth so these two loads are stood in the depot waiting to be tipped!! Hope it dosen’t rain or U know Hu will be in the------say no more!! Cheers Dennis.

Aye they bred them hardy men in North Newbald, they still do in fact
maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=YO43+4S … 23,0,3.42
I forget the numbers but there was something like 75 lorries pulled out of the small village of Newbald on a Monday morning, leaving about 10 people who did other jobs in the area It thrived on lorries and still does to this day. There were two Bayram companies in the village, Bayram the farmer and straw merchant and Bayram Timber.

The ones I knew were Len and Ted Bayram who were related to my then bosses wife, in fact every body in Newbald is related I think
