Wanted something with plenty of capacity but a small footprint and at an affordable price. Bought this 1981 TSL-800 on Jan 15 2005, had it in service as shown after complete work up Feb. 7 2005. Takes up the same space as cheap new China made But will do the Job!! It dose way 1 1/4 tons throw and we had to move it all by hand. A good time was had by all!!
