    Good machine we have a new one only a few months old and have done some pretty big stumps with it for its size is good little machine and great for narrow access one of the best little narrow grinders about in my opinion but then again i am a massive fan of multi tip teeth hope this helps

    hi brett i have had a 12 by 6 trailer with swinglift crane used to be able to move big cubic metre bags pretty easy and have just brought a 14 by 6 trailer with botex compact crane on it they are very useful pieces of kit and save your back big time but depends on what you wish to do with it as my swinglift was very good for moving bags but no good for timber and botex is great for everything if you type in ifor williams botex 38 trailer there is a video of my trailer on youtube built by jas p wilson hope this helps

    i am thinking this i will ask the trafffic comisioner tomorrow but i am thinking for the price of inspections its not worth the hassle if we get stopped other issue is cpc some are saying you need it and some are saying you dont as we use the lorry to go to do our job not for our job very grey area indeed most of it

    Hi all I have just brought a 6.5ton iveco daily tipper and was filling out my operators license this afternoon when I spoke to our local truck mot station and he says that I shouldn't need inspections on the lorry if I am using it for moving Woodchip as it would be classed as a forestry/agricultural vehicle as I have spoke to vosa about this but they say they are not sure and need to speak to the traffic commissioner tomorrow morning as anybody else had this experience as a friend of mine says he does the same thing with his 5,2ton iveco daily tipper any help or experience would be great fully received

    i think terms and conditions along with your quote are a must for any firm nowadays there are to many customers that try to take advantage if it is there in writing and they sign to accept quotation there is no grey area at all and stamps it out before anything starts and if anyone doesnt want to sign they are normally the ones that are timewwasters or are going to mess you around anyway so saves you alot of time and headaches.

    i hadnt seen that for sale that is exactly what i want to do but nose weight sounds bit heavy like skyhuck says i think it is one of those debates sounds like a very good piece of kit but its finding a crane with long reach that doesnt weigh that much which is like finding a needle in a haystack lol
