Excellent news Nigel. I've been waiting for this volume. I bought a copy of Vol 1 from you in that muddy tent at last years Beltring. I got it home dry. I hope to meet you again this year.
Cheers, Bod

More details please Oz people!
Does anyone know the Unladen weight of the Carrier 3-inch (Aust)? Also track width centre to centre, and outer edge to outer edge? And nearly lastly the width of trench it can cross and the turning circle? None of this appears in any of the handbooks etc. so can you go and measure them for me please from those great machines you have tucked away in sheds in the back of beyond, all 400 of them!!!
Thanks Nigel
