Well,i`m back in Wainwrights in somerset for a few weeks,on one of our Volvo L120E`s.The dunper driver has been off for a few days so have been loading the dumper myself & taking it away.Its one of our Volvo A40E`s.What a difference to the A40C.It rides like a Rolls Royce & is so much quicke...

Well,i finished my crushing job in Devon last week.Work is a bit slow at the mo so i`m currently on hire to a quarry in Bristol driving their dumper :dizzy: I have not driven a ADT since 2006,so its a bit of a steep learning curve this week.The dumper is a 2000 Volvo A40C,with nearly 19000 hrs.

I've no doubt the Volvo is good but I'd rather have a new orange one. What's your preference Neil you've probably driven both :eh: ? Well,so far i`ve had a 97 FH330 LC3(bulletproof),my beloved 04 ZX350(which i still miss),the 07 ZX350/3 & now the new ZX350/3,& i must say Hitachi are my pref...
