Just wondered why they always seemed to be on cricket grounds .. I guess they are cheaper to keep going for the groundsmen rather than hiring.Originally posted by v8druid View Post

I would imagine because cause from a health and safety point of view, they are handle start, have no ROPS, but they do a good job on the cricket pitch, I would say 3/4 ton upwards dead weight!Originally posted by Muz View Post

Over here hire mobs had heaps of them type , when things like the Ingersoll rand DA30 came out , no one wanted to hire the old type .so hire mobs donated them to the cricket clubs .Comment
