  1. Hicrop, I was ready for a change and was offered a job here so what the heck! Going on 4 years all together and I’ve started a life. Has been amazing.
  2. This Volvo is the most comfortable truck I ever drove but the worst damn transmission in the world.
  3. Paul, you’ll be more busy now than when you where getting paid 😂 Very very nice. I know what it’s like working in the middle of know where and nothing open on either end of the day. Good luck! Glad you are busy Bob. Take advantage of the weekends! Yes it is. Quite the beast.
  4. Thanks Tom Yes for sure Vlad! I really miss snow.
  5. Sweet ride Bullheaded! How many ton can you haul?
  6. Thanks Mate she is a nice one. Almost 27 ton and very comfortable to run. Took me a bit with all the touch screen technology but got it figured out. Love the hands free blue tooth also. This 335 is a beast too. HeavyGunner, the sun is so intense here we like the darker tint.
  7. Not sure heavygunner. Pretty impressive piece for sure. The world has gotten pretty interesting in the last few months Vlad. I guess we need to see where things are in another year.
  8. Very nice John Deere. Good to see it out in the sun working the ground.
  9. Let me Know when you want to visit. Would enjoy showing you around. After this crazy time is over.
  10. Hi Vlad, great to hear from you. I hope you are doing well and it sounds like are able to keep busy during lockdown. Keep the Mack’s going! A few more crushing pics. Stay safe!
  11. Hey Bob! Glad you are doing well and lockdown isn’t getting you blue. 78 nice! Winter is almost here in NZ. Spending lockdown with the one you love. Very important. A few more from the office and my Boss!
  12. First day back here in NZ on level three. Lock the gate behind me so no close contact. We have some pretty strict rules in affect for now.
  13. Something new around every corner.Here are some from my office. Lake Hawea and Makarora. Crushed there for three weeks.
  14. Love the old iron Mike. Very interesting pieces.
  15. Thanks! My Son still goes often but I have shifted gears. Max loves the Nissan Patrol/Safari with it’s 4.2 litre diesel.
  16. Hey Paula Boy! Will call you this week! Hippy, yes this trailer expands. I would set the tractor brakes and release the trailer when possible to help save the tires and road. This trailer the axles do not steer. The load divider also expands. In this picture of this trailer, the axles steer by the action of the fifth wheel. Pull this trailer as if you were bob tailing.
  17. Four wheel driving here is a bit different than in the states. You can pretty much go where ever you want, anytime you want. Mountains, beach, bush. No worries! Also different types of vehicles. My son Maxim loves his Nissan safari and l was more the Land Rover defender type. We spent a lot of time driving around this amazing country.
  18. Pretty much Jim, we do miss fall colours and winter( not driving in it though)!
  19. The “truckies” here love to show their pride. Especially the night drivers with the glow. The trailers are hydraulically widened. I think they didn’t catch on in the states due to the height issue. Here we go high with the equipment due to the roads. If you look in my pictures, you’ll see the low loader I got new here in 2015.
  20. Thanks guys! Good to see the posts and catch up. Jim, hope your well in NH as well as you Ed Deere and Bullheaded. Looking pretty scary in the states at the moment. We are going from level 4 to level 3 next week and I should be back at work. Jim we have 5 types of weather within driving distance and we now live in the desert. It’s like southern Utah here.
  21. Thanks Ed! Hope you are doing well in FL.
  22. Hey Ed! Hope you and yours are well in Fl.
  23. Thanks GreenGiant, good to be back on 👍
  24. Hi everyone, Haven’t been on in a dogs age and still in New Zealand. Not milling any more and shifted to portable crushing. Loving Central Otago and this beautiful area. We are in week four of lock down here. Hope everyone is staying safe and well. Cheers, Tim
