  1. The TW 150 is a great chipper, very easy to maintain, I have had 2 and love em. The blades are not hard to change so long as you keep the fixing bolt heads clear. People keep going on about the bearings and yes I have had to change mine but it has done 700 hours in 5 years so that's not that bad really.

  2. I had a 900 and to be honest there is better machines for the money, it does not have adjustable handles which is an important feature. The best small grinder I have had and is the machine I have now is the Rayco RG 13, I have the Multi tip cutting system on it and its great, just wish it was self propelled. It's bombproof construction and easy to get parts for. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

  4. Why would you want one swinny? Sent from Hodge's eye phone using the new fancy Arbtalk Mobile App:)
  5. Maybe we could all take a leaf out of his book, cut the crap and arse licking and tell it how it is, there is far to much talk and not enough do in this industry. May be the OP just got fed up with the crap. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  6. Worth it though Rob, Landys are awesome better than all that Jap rubbish out there. 1947 the landy was born and still going strong. Sent from Hodge's eye phone using the new fancy Arbtalk Mobile App:)
  7. Look Rob, owning a landy is like being on crack, smack or sniff. It takes all your money and the weekend ain't long enough. 👍 Sent from Hodge's eye phone using the new fancy Arbtalk Mobile App:)

  10. I had o e and didn't rate it, nowt but trouble, the woodruff key kept disintegrating on the cutter wheel. Sent from Hodge's eye phone using the new fancy Arbtalk Mobile App:)
  11. Heighten are based in my home town of Kendal. My mate Phil was an instructor there. You gotta be crazy going up them things. Sent from Hodge's eye phone using the new fancy Arbtalk Mobile App:)
  12. Best advice I've seen on here for ages! No messing. Get a contract as skinny says then there is no messing.😎👍 Sent from Hodge's eye phone using the new fancy Arbtalk Mobile App:)
  13. That maybe so but like I said it suits me perfectly. I load it up and it is great. It's not as much rear end heavy as it was. Sent from Hodge's eye phone using the new fancy Arbtalk Mobile App:)
  14. If you have been paying your national insurance then you should get some. You get a form from the job center. Sent from Hodge's eye phone using the new fancy Arbtalk Mobile App:)
  15. I disagree, it may be poor for you but it is great for me. I have had my body brought nearer the cab so there is only an inch between the two now. Sent from Hodge's eye phone using the new fancy Arbtalk Mobile App:)

  17. It was well rotten mate but the landy chassis is mint. I jet washed it and then I'm gonna do some wax oiling. Sent from Hodge's eye phone using the new fancy Arbtalk Mobile App:)
  18. I would think I loose a bit of payload because of the crew cab but I would rather have the legroom and room for wet gear and a couple of lads:) Sent from Hodge's eye phone using the new fancy Arbtalk Mobile App:)
  19. They are a great work horse, I tow a 150 VTR chipper and have the box full of chip and she pulls like a train. I love it and she can get in most places. I have extra heavy duty spring and Bilstien gas struts on it. Sent from Hodge's eye phone using the new fancy Arbtalk Mobile App:)
  20. I have had my tipper for 6 years, it is 10 years old and the chassis for the tipper ram and body had rotted away, so finally I have had to get a new chassis made for it. My local fabricator did it. We moved the chip box nearer the cab and it has improved handling. Sent from Hodge's eye phone using the new fancy Arbtalk Mobile App:)
  21. £270 is what I charged to do the same! I went to builders merchant and got 5 trade lap panels, drive 5 miles fitted them took the old panels and got rid. Me and a helper. The people were more than happy with the work and price. Sent from Hodge's eye phone using the new fancy Arbtalk Mobile App:)
