Looks good J. Good luck with it.

Meant to be good machines Jake.

How are you transporting it?

 

Let us know how you get on.

Looks similar to mine which is also rock but what’s the thing like a thermos flask holder on the draw bar beam ?

For my backy and lighters and can hold a tin of Monster if things are getting a bit hectic. 
 

@Mark Bolam tows well behind my Kangoo. Magnetic lights and my plate cable tied on the back she's good to go... gap is too small for a 3ft lightbar thing from Halfords. And the back axle is actually the hydraulic tank. Was splitting beech yesterday big 2 foot odd rounds 10 inch thick and it didn't flinch... slowed right down when using the 4 way head though but I guess that's only for smaller stuff as it says. 
 

Limited to 45 mile per hour on the road but I did hit 70 with it to see what she was like and it was grand but wouldn't like to do that all the time as I think it'd wreck it. 
 

Will see how the day rate idea goes for weekend stuff but was thinking 220-240 per day for me, saws and splitting. Hopefully get a few wind blown trees to sort. Surely a lot cheaper than most tree surgeons around, or is it too cheap?

Lemme know @Mark Bolam

I’d want £300 mate, but then I’m in Kent.

 

I wouldn’t care if I got it or not though, which is half the battle.

So was the tool box added by you or fitted from factory?  Looks handy

When he opens it I'll bet the manual is in there!

You get them on a lot of machines now, it's for the operating manual

Well done. And it is absolutely useless by the first glance at it! 
 

It could be handy for spare bolts etc and what not, I'll see what sheers when I put it through it's places and fill it with spares.

I'm not banking on this working. Weekend work would be ideal, if it doesn't work then it'll work perfect as a clothes horse in the garage

Has it got " road tow " bearings then ? It looks like just the plain bushes with those wheels . I converted mine to road tow by welding some on ...
