Well yes if you would have been at my yard this morning, not quite tears but nearly, get greated by a cut chain on the main gate. People in this situation will know that sinking feeling you get... Look round the corner and yes they have had the chipper away. Cut the ground chains and removed all the locks.

It's now the second time in six months. Just so gutted, it's not the worlds best chipper it's a Timberwolf 150 on a 2002 plate had only done 830 hours. If anybody does get offered one let me know.

 

If the people who stole it check arb talk then give me a bell as I've got the spare keys if you want them. You have taken my lively hood you might as well have the bloody lot.!! I hope you treat it as well as we did as it was my pride and joy

And took me along time to save for it.

Dammit - it's such a horrible gut wrenching feeling when you find out you've been robbed. Very sad that such a small % of people give so much negativity to life.

 

Best wishes & try to put it at the back of your mind before Xmas.... cheers, Steve

I know this won't help you now, but in an isolated yard, the risk of theft is so high would it make any difference to jack the chipper up onto blocks each night and even take the spare wheel home too?

A good battery impact wrench may be £250 odd, but it would be a bit more inconvenient for thieves if they had to supply wheels.
