Yes I checked the AGM

[Bretto77]

So I was taking the boat down to fill up for the trip tomorrow and I just had to turn around and get a picture of this...

[Bretto77]

Not actually sure if this qualifies as funny... It could have been very serious. Someone got lucky really.

[ellicat]

Yep, very lucky.

What did it say 2400kgs

And it would go close to 3500kgs.

H ave to be 2.5 tonne gravel in there.

Looks like deco, which packs in tight.

I just clicked the photos quickly mate @Kat was in a hurry to be elsewhere, so I didn't actually check the plate. The title might be a little misleading. I was eluding to the driver/ owner making sure that he was "good to go".

I estimated 2.5-3T in the trailer. It would appear that the draw bar was not manufactured to take whatever was in there anyway...

[Angry51]

That's OK.

I thought you might have checked the plate.

Your guess would be pretty spot on.

Bloody shame you know, it happens far too often and that's how people get deaded.

I think that the steel channels for the drawbar were probably strong enough but most likely the welds to the body were done poorly/incorrectly as the channels have ripped off,or maybe rusted away from the body as well, as it looks like it is an old trailer. Either way it isn't going anywhere in a hurry.

Should have put on more duct tape!

[Angry51]

Should be safe from thieves where it is.

The trailer not the gravel.

I could use some gravel!

[Angry51]

Grab your shovel & ute/trailer ( check the AGM first )and

be there between 12 and 2 pm 25/12/22.

Shouldn't be many people about, you'd have it unloaded in 2 hours.

Good luck.

PS,, take a water bottle/cool drink.

[Ed.]

Only kidding, I am several hundred kilometers away and I also wouldn't do it out of honesty!

[Angry51]

Yeah, Well I wasn't kidding,

Do you the world of good, bit of exercise to get the heart started

on Xmas day, I can see by your avatar you need the exercise, haha.

But all jokes aside, bet the gravel is gone or most of it in a couple of days.

Now if that was me I'd put the lot on a tilt tray and take it home.

[Ed.]

What, just 'cause my avatar doesn't fit in the area allotted? As for the exercise, I will have plenty from the first week in Jan, the house slab was poured 2 weeks ago and once the power gets connected, I then have to start making the slab for the shed and weld it up. So I get to lose all those Kg's I have recently put on pre and post X'Mas! That's the plan, but we will see if that happens, anyway Happy X'mas to all.

[Angry51]

Well, I was joking but you gotta admit that fat E just fits

in the box.

Yeah mate hope all goes well with your new project, that'll

keep you outta trouble for a bit.

Merry Xmas to you and yours.

[Ed.]

Thanks Angry51, not looking forward to doing that sort of stuff in the summer heat but it has to be finished in 4 months, so will have to force myself.

Cheers

It was gone within 12 hours.... Trailer and all...

Were you disappointed when you turned up with a shovel and large trailer just to check it out??

Nope. I am in holiday mode and the whole situation had that fetid work stench about it .

Yep. Tilt tray. You could potentially even use the tilt tray to tip the gravel where you wanted it
