So glad I found your channel mate, it's always god to get the updates. M56 you must have been near me bringing that little beast back. I was pissing myself listening to you "buying all the stuff you couldn't when you were a kid" That's basically how I do it! Also, you've properly justified the tractor now- need it when your Fork Lift gets stuck! Keep up the good work and have a brilliant Christmas!

Nice one with forklift mate , so useful for everything especially servicing your bigger mowers etc and they hold money well. Pretty much every industry uses one somewhere. Just a tip - tilt the mast right back will give you some more clearance from the bottom of mast ( where it caught on the floor ) and ground.I noticed yours was actually tilted forward making it worse. Also you can try reversing up / over things too. Ours has a torque converter and has an oil dipstick you need to check, also check front diff has oil in it , drum brakes can seize and makes it seem like its got no power but if it rolls ok in neutral then brakes probably aren't seized. Brakes can seize and still not brake properly. I found the hardest thing was loading pallets onto our plant trailer with the forklift because the sides are fixed so until we got another trailer we used to drop in a raised bed of pallets but not ideal really. thats if it couldn't be slid in via ramp. Loved the bit about toys you couldn't have as a kid! - so relatable lol . Think you need a mini digger next , i remember my first one and are so much fun - we make attachments for them and thats how it all started .... anyway great video mate . love the content

Appreciate the advice mate 👊 I know I realised the following day , as I’d got in the the first time and tilted it forward to get under the pallet but as I’ve reversed back out to reposition that’s when I couldn’t get in . Only afterwards I realised 🤣 Nice , business good ? Cheers buddy 👍

@@DrivewayHustlers Yes its good thanks mate, but you know how it is being self employed - the work / life balance can be a bit tricky but you get better at that as time goes on i think. Great videos bud , always look forward to seeing them 😎

Haven't driven a forklift in moons but them Clarks are pure work horse's, get the tread re cut on the tyres if they aren't to far gone will help with slipping. 👍👍
