Saw them earlier in the day, probably A34n. The tipper looked to be 'Hoveringham' orange, possibly another Scammell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
militant-nick Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) May well have been a Scammell Himalayan 6x4 or Sherpa 4x2 Dump Truck thinking back. Edited October 31, 2015 by militant-nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draganm Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 why are front loaders sometimes parked with the bucket used as a jack to lift up front end of vehicle? Usually with Hydraulic machines they tell you to release pressure in Hydraulic systems when not in use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only ever done it myself when using the shovel to scrape ice off a yard, like you say - never parked one like this before for the reason you mention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
militant-nick Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I think Richard's nailed the answer! I'll try a photograph it when it's been parked more 'adventourusly' as it has been in the past, this photo is quite tame by comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
