Yip you're onto it, got told later that there was a cut water line. They pulled it out easy enough with a smaller tractor that wasn't in the wet patch.Quote:

Had my wee girl stuck a while ago, only 7 tonnes with the post driver on but its quite a bit of weight to dig out. Got the front up with the loader, went home for a coffee and a sulk. Drove it out when I got back. He/she probly could have done the same with the discs unhooked (after several coffees !!)Quote:

Halls trucks used to be a regular feature in the sea around Kaikoura.
Ooops, I thought the caption was on the photo, it was I think between 10:00 & 11:00 today and was;
State Highway 1 near the Ohakahia Stream in the Hundalee is currently blocked due to a container coming off the back of a truck.
Motorists are advised to avoid the area if at all possible or expect delays.
I hope it was that Halls KFC truck:sick::XD::thumbsup: I hate KFC:sick:
By the way how are they fixed on?
The containers not the chickens;)
Twist locks located around the perimeter which the container is dropped onto and then the handle is twisted to lock down the container. Whilst i was with Tranzrail they proved an ongoing problem on rail wagons but on commercial road trucks, any faults are usually located immediately behind the trucks steering wheel.Quote:

Engine failure, Cat 3512 from a 785D hall truck.
That gentlemen is what’s know in the trade as a “leg out of bed”
Had that happen to me in a 64 EH Holden at 80mph, locked up the diff went sideways. Had to think quick and hit the clutch to get it straight again.
Cleaned my farm truck for the first time in 14 years !
Daughter wants me to take her to her wedding in it next weekend.
She asked that I clean inside and didn't push for the outside also.
Well i thought I would be a loving dad and over achieve.
So i rashly decided to waterblast and clean the outside to
I see people in town doing it all the time.
Figured it must be quite enjoyable and maybe even enlightening
WTF is it about.
Lost on me.
Decided they might do it because they don't have guns to clean.
Or if they do have guns then they don't have enough guns to clean.
There were a hell of a lot of scratches under all that dirt.
So i had to polish ( well I will admit to having car polish but it was for my engineering machines. Makes it easier to clean off cutting oil and swarf) the whole thing to fill in some of the scratches.
Anyway I might have a little joke somewhere in there to kick off my speech with.
Now I better get on line and see where I can pick up some new front seat covers urgently. These ones are beyond cleaning.
Cheers

It looks like a silly mistake but just before it is a very deceptive, off-camber kink over a blind crest. A few others made similar mistakes but gave up on trying to pull it back in time for the cattlestop and just went wider through the fence instead (and stayed shiny side up).Quote:

Attachment 134470
Stuck in the mud, left it running till we got out with a tow. Stripped out the insides at the hut and left to sit in the sun for a couple of days while we went hunting. The irony of escaping without real harm was the engine shitting itself on the way out and stranding us. Needed towed all the way to Tekapo. My mate walked out to Lilybank, and discovered a bloke we knew was Station manager at the time, we'd been wallaby shooting with him the week before - he towed us back to Lilybank Station, the chef made us tea and we stayed the night while Beade told us stories about the clients. Next day is us swinging on a towrope in a swollen river crossing for two braids, thank fuck it was an old 40 series cruiser towing, scary. The garage at Tekapo pulled down the engine and fixed it, it had been fully reconditioned prior to our trip, they had fucked up reassembly and it had dropped conrod nuts- yes plural, nuts......... the shop in Dunners picked up the tab. Couple of dirty shifty looking blokes with guns getting on a bus in Timaru to get home! Imagine trying that now :sick:Quote:
