2 big spud boys here use TR200 for years, one bought a JCB 320 good to lift 2 ton and quarter boxes but clumsy. Kept 200 as quicker and easer on diesel, must be near 20000 hrs on her now but worked hard but well maintained

I used a Teleram 40 (30 yrs old) for everything until about 4 years ago. Slow, noisy but totally reliable and simple to fix. Now got a Manitou MLA 628 which is in a different league but complicated. Don"t miss the Matbro but it cost 5 grand, 3,000 hours later I sold it for 5 grand and it always did the job... think it went for launching lifeboats on the Isle of Wight!
I believe it maybe the one at the Freshwater bay lifeboat station. I'll get a picture next time I'm over That way.

TR200 is awful thing to repair compaired to a TR250.

Generally with any compact machine my advice is only buy it if you need/got to have a compact otherwise get a full size model.

I always thought a 250 110 tonne quite nice apart from the angle of the foot throttle

That foot throttle is easy fixed, all i do is weld a bit on the lever under neath and drill another hole in it for the cable to attach, the pedal then gives more throw on the linkage to pull the cable so you then add a longer stop bolt on the pedal so when flat out the pedal dosent need to be flat on the floor at a nasty angle for the foot. ;)
