only joking, it looks like you need to get some maintenace organised, the problem i found with being really busy is maintenace and servicing gets neglected, so something like a loose nut that would of taken a minute to tighten leads to a major and sometimes life threatening mistake.

Well-to be fair- it sounds like you spotted stuff before it realy went down the pan, a chipper anvil flying thru' is guarantee £2,000 of damage ..... keep them peeled !
