Easy to say when you haven't got 40k's worth of bits in front of you.

 

Personally, I would have someone who knows what they are doing have a crack. I am all thumbs when it comes to anything more than basic mechanics.

 

Plus its the time factor, its not just that it take you longer than the likes of Alex Price, its that often you find parts need replacing that you did not anticipate, if its being done at Alex's place the parts are there, if its being done at home you have to go get the bits, it all takes time and time is money.

Huck luckily the job I started was able to have the chips in piles, so I just hired a John Deere and put my chipper on it, if I was relying on it I would of low loaded it down to Alex's and paid the bigger bill.

How come it's going? Costing too much to run or just not right for the work you're doing at the moment?

 

That U1600 belonging to the OP is lovely. My dream truck I'd say, but I'm more likely to end up with a U900 if I can ever get the money together to buy one!

 

I sure wouldn't sell a Unimog to replace it with a Transit!
