Its the industries norm , I would start to panic if it was any different Bob

Chris I dont understand the pessimism , if you have raised the game a bit and are renting a yard just up the ante a bit more and buy one. I am not saying its easy but its doable as many on here can confirm. You need to be away from houses to avoid the complaints and council intervention, they only act on complaints so out of sight and earshot is important. Its the only sort of finance that's worth having in my opinion, every penny spent on rent is the bit that's getting pissed in the wind. Bob

Mr Huck is right but the 250kg they use up is worth it, there is an 031 on my ten tonner that punches well past its weight and what it wont lift on it can drag over the side. Bob

With a centre punch and hammer you could try and peen the pinhole shut, failing that weld it up. Bob

Better paid and a lot more of them, the plants and labour will be a tiny fraction in the whole scheme. I would imagine there was a consultant involved along with the expense of many other pen pushing leeches. Makes my piss boil.Anger as 539 council bosses paid more than PM Theresa May Bob

Need or want? There is a big ugly 200hp 24" Morbark WTC chipper here that I would recommission and put out on hire if there was enough interest. Currently festering in the corner of the yard. Bob

I had to go into a vodafone shop a few years ago to sort out a few issues, I was asked this question. Wamafyaban? I had to ask this spotty kid to repeat the question several time before I gave up , I asked his colleague what this prick was trying to say and it transpired it was a security question, he wanted to know what month I was born. Turns out the white spotty one thinks he is a yardy. Bob

Chris if you dont have a three phase supply get a diesel/petrol arc welding set for a few hundred quid and buy a remote wire feeder. Best of both worlds because you can then mobile stick and mig weld. Just plug the leads into the remote wire feeder from the welder and connect the gas, should do all you want. Wire feed is inside the unit, one on the right is for on site , left hand one wont do rain Bob

Hire before you buy and see how you get on, local dealers offerings would be the biggest deciding factor for me. I have Greenplant just up the road who bend over backwards to help so TW makes a lot of sense here, its not about choice for me but serviceability and a good dealer backup. They all go wrong so spares on your doorstep account for something. Bob -
Chris I would sooner spend the £500 on a quality secondhand machine ,as Tom suggests a decent Murex or if the budget would stretch to it get an Esab. Bob

Is there a big breaker bar and 24mm socket in there JB Bob

There is enough space between the chassis rails and tipper body for a tray, good for brooms, rakes and shovels. On one of our transits there was enough room between the tipper body and cab to hang shovels, rakes and brooms on a small bracket. The body also has a locker with doors each side running through the tipper body, enough room in there for saws, blowers and the rest of the kit. Easier than cutting a body down and less wasted space.
