    Four and a Half Year Sentance for no PTO Guard

    Lincoln its a bigger thing than just PTO shafts. But all machinery has a weak spot and with driven machinery its either hydraulic pipes or PTO Guards.

    Four and a Half Year Sentance for no PTO Guard

    The whole affair is tragic and I hope we all feel for the family's lose. What has been said above is all correct and should be done. But look at the photo the Mill is on pallets moved by a fork lift, the PTO is at a silly angle to work, there is a lack of PTO guard, there is a lack of...

Having been involved in crushers for several years price is the last think to think of. If you can have a look on facebook there is a crusher which had a WW2 bomb put in...

    TRP Machinery

    The owners have no control of the finances, so if anyone is looking for payment the owners hands are now tied. Would be the same if House of Fraser ceased trading or any other large business. Once the business has ceased and the accounts are called in the owners or ex owners have no control.

    TRP Machinery

    TRP Imports is a separate business. TRP which has ceased trading is in the hands of accountants, and nothing to do with the owners now.

TRP (Scotland) or the retail branch at Sleaford has voluntary ceased trading. It has not "Gone Bust", the owners...

    Valtra

    You can what ever you want on a Valtra colour wise as they will put it through the studio which does the bespoke work. They cant put manual spools on a vario as the vario uses the smart armrest. I put a reverse direction PTO on the front of a T194 so rear mounted machines can be used on the front.
