Never used him but I know a couple who’ve used landylift.co.uk and were happy.

Not sure if @fizzy is back in play yet but his website is speedshift (I think) - not sure about a student. He’s the man to advise about freighting it.

Thanks, I ve sent @fizzy a message , will contact landylift.

I take it hiring a plant trailer and going to get it isn’t an option?

 

[arther dailey]

Directly opposite my mate's car sales place - will have a shufti this evening. Be simple when my trailer is finished - damn weather!
But we can get it sorted. Hardest job will be getting it up onto a pallet. Rest will be easy - ish

Got to help people with lathe's disease - we really need help. Maybe a national support group? I am sure there is a forum somewhere that can help

You really need one!
I may have some for sale before long - got to have a clear out as I have another monster coming after Christmas!

repeat after me -— I don’t need one …. I don’t need one …. I don’t need one. Repeat 500 times or until the yearning goes away.
