He was a character in the first two episodes of a new murder mystery series up here called 'Shetland'!

Barrbeast · 30-03-2014, 21:48

It's also a BBC sitcom set in a suburb of Dundee and starring Brian Cox

Rick that winch sounds pretty interesting, I'd be keen to see it. Tbh I can't really justify spending on it though (too many other things calling for the beer tokens at the moment) but one of my farming mates might

the books are really funny, the "hero of dundee" is my favorite,
"delete this at your peril" got me started on these books.

well worth a read and a good chuckle

Tractor winch (old), Rick

Barrbeast · 01-04-2014, 21:01

Cheers Rick what a lovely piece of old machinery!

Nobody I know can make use of it which is a shame

Probably more hassle than you can be bothered with but have you thought about putting it on ebay? Must be someone on there that would snap it up.

firebobby · 01-04-2014, 22:36

I was going to surggest ebay too.

solarman216 · 01-04-2014, 22:41

well it would be a shame to weigh it in, so maybe get some two it's, you know round ones, Rick

Can always stick a reserve on it. Or some dodgy people get friends to bid

Not that i condone that sort of thing..

solarman216 · 01-04-2014, 23:19

OK so this well out off my field, what would you think it could be worth? if less than £100 then not worth the effort as far as I am concerned, unless it is picked up from my yard as could not be bothered with palletising etc, if it turns out to be rare then I want a Million £, Rick

Not sure how this one stands up to yours, other than a gaudy coat of paint, but it's currently up at £375.
