    nah no abuse never even got a chance to take it off road! we had to do various weight tests with it at our fleet management who in the end told us we couldnt have it after we were told we were gettin one cos it can only take about the same as a tranny loaded up were told they are not spending that amount of cash think they wanted it to take the entire crew all our equipment 10 ton of chip and tow a 5 ton trailer its just like driving a big car though very comfy! plenty room would have liked a proper shot of one with all the extras though pto front and rear diff locks etc and the chance to get it dirty lol

    im sure there are plenty of things available on ebay that are quite dangerous in the wrong hands not just top handle saws but thats down to the individual buying, the other way to look at it is i cant afford £400+ for a new saw hmmm 200T £95 that will do nicely

    if you are building on a new chassis can you not use a 110 as a donor? 130 is just a streched 110 anyway all you would need then realy would be a prop? and would be easier to find

    did something similar years ago with an old wreck of a series 3 with knacked springs 4 blocks of wood wired to the axles! it also had a vw golf radiator tied to the front of the grill had only 3rd and reverse gear no brakes and to start it you had to blow easy start down a tube sticking through the dash! needless to say it was an offroad farm hack!
