They prob have permission to post a garage item so they do, not knowing the rest of the forum is pay to post.

I took a look at some of the trucks, quickly made me realise how rough mine actually looks :) 

:) for my 3500 you could add a nought to your 30 feet

 

My 2500 looks right as it's always got my mobile workshop on the towbar, crane bolted to the bed and right now 30 gallon of Cat trans oil and my oxy/propane kit in the bed, been on site all day in -6c repairing a broken propshaft on a Cat 966 loading shovel, was going to take a pic but I got too cold, maybe tomorrow

When I was 12 years old I noticed the old guys (16 & 17 year old dudes) had jobs, a cool car and a pretty girl hanging around when they were washing their cars...I took note right away of the proper order of things... Job...cool wheels and wow, girls! 1166380760_Thankgiving2007017.jpg.8e7833a5ed0df1df89cca6d714528fd2.jpg

It is especially fun if they are short and require help to get into a lifted CTD when wearing a short skirt :cool:

 

my bad

I think it is because you are on the other side of the world.

:)  I've no idea why every picture I try and post is upside down, if I save upside down it still comes out upside down, if I save right way up it comes out upside down, think I might try a pic direct from my phone instead of Laptop

At the moment we are a bit sideways in the UK but we're not upside down just yet....... maybe heading that way sooner rather than later LOL

I'm now going to use a different browser to see what happens

logged on using firefox still upside down for the pic above but deleted it

 

tried another that wasn't took using my phone and it was ok so I think it is my phone camera settings

 

 

That mini skid steer is deceivingly heavy. 40B25420-3491-4EE2-BB4D-52E9F76E2B67.png.8a6609009b74ffd9d17c8e8245297986.png8EB79D50-12E3-487D-A78F-2AD4CACE9AE5.png.8fec6853993fea0c5d2db90d7fc0122f.png

 

I have a Bobcat S185 skid steer to transport on Tuesday, got a lot of work to do on it over xmas, not a 5th or gooseneck trailer though but towbar which isn't the best only 40 miles from site to my workshop so not too bad

Is a towbar in UK the same thing as it is in America? Bc if so I’m gonna need pics/videos of that 40 mile trip.

No I don't think so, would it be bumper pull ? didn't put bumper pull as the pin/ ball  is not in the bumper but on what is called a towbar here  IE a heavy duty frame bolted to the vehicle frame that holds the pin, i'll get a picture  tomorrow but it will be upside down :lmao:

Ha! It’s just a slight transatlantic variance in lexicon. This is a tow bar here.

and this is what came up when I googled towbar

That ⬆️ would violate public decency laws in my state 😆 

 

I guess what you call a towbar is what I call a receiver hitch. Then a ball would be attached to a hitch and then inserted into the receiver. Actually when I say it out loud, our terms are very confusing bc they are interchangeable. 
 

Yep, I guess bumper pull is the universal term.

Now I see why you would want to see pictures of a skidsteer on your definition of a towbar :) be 4 wheels with big flats spots right down to the hubs and then leaving sparks

My towbar on the other hand doesn't look much like the 2nd picture but yes that's close enough. 

the 2nd picture looks like a Range Rover towbar as the ball bit is removable to stop the townies smashing their shins on it

and yeah I know what you mean.... a bit like the logo jeff bozo uses :lmao:me thinks a couple of nicely placed moonie eyes on every truck and package and old jeff has made it

Did someone with Peyronie's Disease design that hitch?

Ha! That's funny, right there!
