So today was the day for the carrier to get moving once again to Mr Bradshaw senior's place.
As per planning, Kubota KX-080 was on site to assist in load up. I have found with a bit of cunning and guile such items are easily moved using aforesaid tool.
Mr Bradshaw arrived and we latched on suffering only one minor issue in as much as all that weight on the arse end of his trailer was lifting his truck rear wheels off the ground and as I was pulling the freewheeling carrier it was exerting an equal and opposite force which then caused the truck and trailer to move forward, I was moving the whole shooting match!
Suitable blocking was placed in front of the truck wheels and loading resumed.
There really wasn't much wiggle room width wise and I had to exercise care drawing it forward.
Once the right place was reached Mr Bradshaw secured it and I was free to get back to my regular work. There was a picture taken with the usual SEG on the face of the new owner! While he did have a hand winch on the trailer he did say that the excavator was a pleasure to have and was a lot easier than doing it by hand.
There was a minor issue of monies changing hands but it was neither my sale nor my purchase so it isn't for me to comment on that.
Look forward to seeing it live again.
Regards
Robin
