    That second line rings so true to me. I spent all my weekends and holiday time on the dairy farm over the road, from aged 12. Learnt to drive on Fordson Majors, and A35 van. Riding on the 3 point linkage on the road. First time of using a chainsaw I was left on my own cutting back overgrown hawthorn hedges. I was told to stand on the bonnet of the tractor so I could reach high enough, working on my own. No PPE, no chain brake, and no mobile. I survived. I wouldn't change anything if I had my early years again. PS No Playstations or X Boxes, whatever they are. Better off building tunnels with hay bales in the barn.

    Whilst I understand your point I do feel for Cliff here. I find it very difficult tolerating awkward customers when we always do out utmost for them. I almost invariably manage to see it through to completion, but a lot of tongue biting is occasionally needed.

    Jensen in my view. Jensen work with one hydraulic motor driving a gearbox with two timed output shafts, one to each feed roller. This way the rollers can have coarse teeth that interlock. All other chippers that I am familiar with have a motor for each roller, and therefore the rollers cannot overlap or the teeth would get damaged. Please correct me anyone, if there are other makes that do it the Jensen way.

    I have a 2016 Forst TR6 diesel, with low hours, and a 2013 Jensen A540 turntable, again with low hours. The interlocking rollers on the Jensen have formidable pulling/crushing ability, but the Forst is still pretty good. Forst prone to getting bits of conifer build up and stopping the top roller from seating down fully - sometimes can clear it by putting a big log through, but often have to undo the springs to clean it out. I had a bearing fail on the top roller assembly on the Jensen at about 600 hours, surprised by that. Forst are excellent with parts back up and technical advice; Jensen parts take too long, and I have too often had to wait for them to arrive from Germany.

    In recent years when I have purchased new trailers (IW and Bateson) I pay the extra for ally plate on top of the phenolic plywood. If you intend to keep the trailer for years. and it will have heavy timber chucked in, this eventually damages the plywood so that water can get into it. That said it will still last years. I bought a second hand Meredith and Eyre 16ft triaxle. Good build quality. This just has the phenolic plywood florr, but as it is it really good nick I have some cheap OSB boards that I can put over the floor if it is at risk of damage from loading rough stuff.
