How do you find the TP150? It looks to be a nice compact machine and also doesn't weigh a lot looking at the specs. I think I will probably end up with one of those, or maybe a TW150. Most likely whatever I can find at the right price! How long do you think it takes to fill the back with chip if you have a nice neat pile next to it to throw through?

Winch wise - well I've nothing to offer on that really. It's a subject that's confusing me massively at the moment. I know what I would like (a mid mount double drum Werner) but that's just not going to happen! I will most likely end up with a 5t single drum hydraulic thing which could be front mounted, although I would prefer to stick it under the tipper bed and run the rope out of the rear. That leaves the front clear for kit, hopefully with a linkage and pto eventually but at the very least somewhere to mount my Hycrack (I can lift that on and off so no need for lift arms).

My mog is a work in progress. I've just managed to get the funds together to buy a rear linkage for it so that will be going on soon. I need to replace the clutch flexi pipes and re seal the slave cylinder as I bought a new one then broke the O ring when I tested it. One of my tilt tabs is missing where some repair work was done by the previous owner, so I think I need to do that before the cab can be tipped to work on the front pipe... The more I think about it the more Brian (the site owner) has to answer for. He swears Land Rovers are trouble but this thing... And he encouraged me to buy it! :-* :D
