Perhaps, if only to satisfy my own curiosity if not that of others, it would be relevant for DDD to declare his interests as regards TCP. ???
Marcus, I have no attachment to tcp whatsoever. I get no comission from passing on sales, i get no free spare parts. The only thing i have ever done is tested a prototype conveyor for them, which they have now introduced to all their machines.(i still had to pay full price for my new one when i had it retro-fitted)
The opinions expressed here are one of experiance, and it is an opinion and answer expressed towards others who have asked a question. Thats what a forum is all about.
I recently recommended a Nissan cabstar (one of the brew cabin irregulars brought one) but i don't work for nissan. I have also recommended Kubota Tractors, again i do not work for kubota
I have on previous threads fully recommended your Bavtrak 025. This was having seen it working at Sed, and spoke long and hard with one of your colleagues. It is the best crusher of its size on the market, bar none, and i would have no hesitation in recommending it further, or indeed buying one in the future.(this was even after i was refused permission to peer inside the jaw of the machine!!)
In fact, i have also recommended your company for buckets and attachments for excavators, and indeed purchased several myself for the K008 (most recent was a riddle bucket)
I felt i expressed my facts clear enough for anyone to decide for themselves as an independant person. (i am a landscaper by profession, crushing is my sideline)
Since my opinions here are read by so many brew cabin viewers, and i gain many hires, i would of course be glad to fully test your new 009 with a conveyor one weekend if you want to lend me one, and i will write a first hand review.
I'll even test your 025 as well for good measure

Feel a bit sorry for the red rhino boys - had them here for 6 mths in my barn, building their prototype. Just the 2 of them. They really believed in what they were trying to do. It all moved very fast - suddenly they were gone, and in spanking new premises, with offices etc.
It's a shame for me, never to have heard a good word said about their crushers in the cabin.
As far as I'm aware, they were right in at the beginning of the idea of a small mobile crusher in the UK ? Over a cuppa, I do vaguely remember them talking about being knocked out by a small crusher they'd just seen in Italy?
(I am going back a bit here.)
Whatever - I wish them all the best. Nice blokes.
ps - cheque each month, bang on the button.... plus, I now have 6 metal halide lights in the roof - it's like daylight in there !

DD Dan, no offence taken - and similarly I hope there has be none taken from my question, which was an honest enquiry. For what it's worth, I do personally think the TCP is a tidy machine and it and the 009's are the only true micro crushers - in the sense of being sub-1 tonners.
Your previous recommendations and endorsements for our kit were noted and very much appreciated!
Suggers, as far as Red Rhino go, they may have paid you in the past, but were you aware they did a 'phoenix manouevre' with the administrators in October last year? I would guess there might be a few creditors/customers who were not quite as fortunate as yourself.
marcus, glad thats all cleared up now. Will do more business in the future, and who knows, one day bavtrak 025 might turn up!

We may have met. When i first got into crushing, i had their prototype machine on hire. It was a road towable machine. The radiator fell off and stopped the engine. Then i hired another and it would not track properly, so i couldn't get it on the trailer without a fight. I was dealing with who i thought was the barn's owner at the time.
I remember the two guys that were working in that barn. they were great chaps. I hired a post driver from them, which they had invented, and i tried to persuade them at the time to market it. Shame they didn't as there is still nothing on the market like it.
Funny Marcus should mention the 'phoenix manouevre'. My mate is owed £4000 from them as he supplied all their rollers. Don't know if he ever got the money, or took a machine for ransom.
IMHO, there are so many crushers that beat the red rhino now, it hard to imagine how they can pick themselves up. The guidetti beats it on performance (remote control), then there is the lemtrack, which is belt loaded, but the top of the heap (here we go marcus) the Bavtrak 025, which has a massive in feed, and twin jaws, so it's really powerful, and faster.
lets see what happens this year with the crusher market, and for red rhino

"a satisfied customer? we should have them stuffed!"
This'll be it then -
Great little machine - I did all my post & rail with it - I also thought they should market it.
To be honest, I don't remember a towable crusher being built at my place - alzheimers setting in ???
"Meet the new boss - same as the old boss - We all get fooled again"
it was deifnately towable. I remember all the access doors would not close and kept coming undone all the time leaving me with motorists constantly flashing their lights at me all the while!

might be interested in bavtrak 025 might try a demo or just hire one see if its better than the komplet we demo"d from cautrac that was pretty good though apart from the conveyer was too short :O

Dan, when the weather is a bit better, we'll try and arrange something for you on the 009 and 025 demo. We usually demo at our own yards, but if you're wanting to wriote a proper 'on site review' that's obviously not really appropropriate.
As for the comment about "phoenix manoeuvre", I think the correct 'legal' (but should it be legal?!) term is "pre-pack".
Ambient, we have an 025 demo here in Staffordshire which you're welcome to have a look at and also visit the factory at the same time. Perhaps wait until the snow clears though!
Just a bit of an update on my original post...went for a demo yesterday on the tcp crusher and Met Dan Rice at the Leeds depot, very impressed with the machine, just a shame the banks are the way they are at the minute or id have one on order!
