Have the same stress control box on a ch25 i recently bought but the wires have been cut 1 blue 1 black 1 brown, I,m thinking of re,wiring it to see if it works but no idea where those wires go, anybody any ideas?

I never had a paper round,, but there was always copper wire and lead pipes.

Nev Clay is something of a local legend.

Paper round money 🙂

Very James Taylor ...

we were 13 years old back then, happy days.

Great song ! Went out and bought the Kinks single when it first came out .

Hi All I ap0ologise if ive posted this in the wrong place Im planning to bring a lovely old Lister powered MT40 to France and wanted to ask any of their experiences with older machines and getting a carte grise for them There re two issues I am chewing over at the mo No 1 is getting it road registered here as anything over 500kg needs its own registration Specifically its a question of conformity (certificate of Conformity CoC) to EU standards for the chassis/trailer on which the chipper is built Ive asked Greenmech in the UK and France and the are struggling to help since back when the machine was built they did not get CoC Ultimately I might have to do it as a unique process through the DREAL (organisation responsible for road compliance) So if anyone has any info about tow hitch and brakes fitted perhaps I can check ot the manufacturers and ask them for details of UK compliance as background for the DREAL process Any thoughts comments would be great? No2 is importation, has anyone imported a chipper into France, and particularly such an old machine that is second (don't know how many hand actually) Do I just take it to the DUANE at the port of entry, or can I start the process before so they already know I'm coming? Again any thoughts? Matt

With the tip sites you have to be aware that anyone based locally will have arrangements generally in place to dispose of their arisings - whether it is a yard, regular tip sites, or a commercial deal (preferential tip rates, selling on for biomass) - as described above. Where they come into their own often is to anyone working outside their usual area who need somewhere handy to tip. As an example, I've seen tree surgeons around here from 10+ miles away and for them to fill a tipper truck, return to their local area, tip and back to the job for another load costs (20 miles van use, 2 hours labour costs for driving, job takes 2 hours longer - could be into a 2nd day, any tip fees) and then having a local tip site becomes a viable option. You are then competing with all other local tip sites. Point I am making is that registering on the tip sites isn't going to bring you a driveway full of logs - people will be in contact as and when it is necessary for them. Great to have an introduction though, someone might be reading this Gloucestershire way and remember seeing your post, Also to note as above, people see logs as a resource, the home owner with the tree sees 2m3 of oak, then pops into B&Q and does some sums, the oak wood will pay for the tree surgery! (yeah....) and decide to keep the wood themselves to sell on for massive profits - you are more likely to be offered softwoods and gnarly bits... I'd guess I'll get 75%+ as softwoods and only a small portion is hardwoods. (note: making a fortune from your garden tree... take away your time to log it up / pay for the tree surgeon to do so, perhaps buy a chainsaw (+ safety gear) and axe if DIY (or log splitter hire), store in the garden for 1 year+, deal with facebook ads / gumtree, the value of your time eats away any profits pretty quick - often far more profitable to do a couple of hours overtime in your regular job.. so a lot of homeowners are keeping their hardwoods with that thought process)

So I have put a few hours on the Grillo. It cuts great. It doesn't clog and stall like the Bolens did (which I was really asking too much of it to become a rough cut mower). It just smashes through everything, rocks and stumps included. I like the simplicity of being able to remove and sharpen the blade tips. - It needs choke to start even when warm, so I think some carb cleaning might be helpful. - I'm going to raise the deck a bit. I'm hitting too much even on the highest setting.
