    Martin,

    Thanks for sharing the pictures, I'd heard that Karl was planning to clear up the old junk in his yard, I was therefore surprised to see that your 125 was still in one piece!

    Hello David
    That old Drott moved a fair bit of earth,the scraper was filled quite a few times by the 955.A few hundred tons. Can't wait to get the 933 ready now,will be resprayed in the Spring.May be adding a D4 to the fleet if things work out right.Plaster comes off next week,hope to be fully fit soon.
    Cheers
    Martyn

    Default The Buggy

    Hi king ,i dont take the old girl very far ,but i usually drive it on the road to our local show which is 5miles away,with escort,we get plenty of looks!.The scraper is donkey start ,and i was very lucky to rescue her from the gas axe! about 3 years or so ago,as the yard had just cut the belly plate off on a friday afternoon then ran out of gas just as i arrived,it was her lucky day!i have used it on my own place for about 3weeks work in total and she runs like a watch .cheers sprocket.
