    Don't bother, a winch for £60 is going to be awful

    Have you adjusted the anvil? If the gaps too big it won't chip well at all

    It's joined with four bolts at the base, get them right and then use jack legs on the outside edges to push the top together, I was suprised how simple it was

    This is ours, got it second hand and moved it/moved in 4 weeks ago. It needs a new bit of cladding on the front but we are getting there!

    It hasn't had a ticket on it for a couple of years but has done very little since its last one, that crack has been there for a long time judging by the state of the metal! It was quite hard to spot but you'd like to think an inspection would be meticulous

    Was having a thorough check over my MEWP this afternoon to prepare it for loler ticket, spotted a hairline crack at mounting point on one of the Rams, waggled a screw driver about and the end of the ram came off! It's obviously been cracked for a long time but has been lolered, just a heads up to really keep up with personal checks!

    I had a look at hydraulic oil injuries, really horrific!

    Went to look at this today, neighbour had done it while customer was on holiday, she not impressed!

    Looking to get ticket on my MEWP, if the outer casing on the hydraulic pipes is cracked will it fail? Ta

    Defo check the anvil gap, it makes a massive difference, much more than you would think, 0.5mm I think

    Not a lot of new customers at the mo, was flat out a few weeks back, nice steady work with repeat customers and a bit of subbing for next couple of weeks

    I hate that poem, utter bollox, customers on occasion will spout off about elm burning like churchyard mould, when in fact it's the dogs danglies,

    The 201 tcm is a brilliant saw, a world apart from the early 201. The only fault with mine is its prone to stalling now and again (typically when I forget brakes on and open throttle) but I'd have it over the 540 any day

    In the town itself, have you got a contact number please?

    But if you tell the customer it's a bit cheaper if they keep the chip you'll be amazed how many will

    2250 imo, looks tidy

    I messed about with a cs100 as the only chipper, saved me time on a lot of jobs, chipping in gardens etc, but as mick says you can't compete with a 6 inch roller feed, if your only ever doing small stuff though go for it, they punch far above their weight
