'Ping test .....' I was having this exact same problem on a TW125. Spoke to a thoroughly helpful chap (on the TW stand at the Arbshow) whose rule of thumb advice was to try to turn each belt (at the mid point) through 90 degrees. You should only just be able to do this = roughly the right tension ! Worked a treat for mine - they were a bit loose - tightened them up and now working fine again. Good luck. AB

Very, very, very marginally maybe if you’re wrapping flat bar round something as opposed to punching the eye. With the gear of the last 150 years though, easier square. Likewise strong enough steel to not have stress risers at corners (which you could very easily avoid by chamfering the punch anyway).

Yeah, that. The thing I was trying to tell you might be wrong with something of yours a few weeks ago. Because I’m obviously the one to offer the other one advice on hydraulics out of the two of us.

Cobra Bracing - should it be replaced if taut?
openspaceman replied to AllTrees's topic in General chat
From what @Joe Newton says that brace is 2/3 through its design life and from the look of those forks I expect it would fall apart if removed. -
The UK is reliant on oil for a large portion of its energy supplies (which is predicted to start to run out - pretty much - in our lifetimes), and those in control of the oil are not always mentally sound (mental though) - Russia, middle east, US). It makes sense to have the energy for our electricity supplies controlled by us - with a mix of green energy (cheap energy source) backed up by nuclear energy for when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine. Green energy is great, needs a politician to break the electricity pricing link to oil to unlock cheaper electricity (and to equalise the tax on domestic electricity and gas supplies), but there will always be a need for some sort of back up - which the obvious choice is nuclear really. So new nuclear plants make sense, however I think we are now in a race between building them and the oil supplies dwindling and getting very expensive. Between now and then though we can reduce our reliance on mentalists with green energy supplies. Could be big nuclear plants like the proposed Sizewell one or mini ones (similar to what powers nuclear subs).

Having developed the first ever backpack blower in the early 1970s, ECHO know a thing or two about blowers. They have recently launched the PB-9010T backpack blower. Built for professional users and heavy-duty applications, it boasts an industry-leading 48.9N of blowing force, making debris removal almost effortless. The PB-9010T is the culmination of years of designing machines that are not only powerful, but put operator comfort at the forefront of the process. The combination of a powerful 79.9cc engine, air speed of 97.8m/s and a maximum air volume of 1907m³/h enables operators to complete tasks faster and more efficiently . With operator comfort in mind, the PB-9010T features a 5-point anti-vibration system, ergonomic backpack straps, and a hip belt to reduce fatigue. The unique operator back ventilation system provides cooling airflow during hot weather and can be disabled for colder conditions, ensuring year-round comfort. A patented metal wear ring enhances durability and protects the blower tube from wear, while the top-mounted, tool-less air filter allows quick maintenance in the field. Built-in cruise control means constant speed is easy to maintain. The ECHO PB-9010T is available now from ECHO dealers nationwide and is priced at £899 (inc-VAT). -
That's a real shame. Plenty of new builds going up in Gaza from UN aid they could move into I suppose?

Is it worth signing up to checkatrade as a tree surgeon?
treevolution replied to Coretrees's topic in Business Management
Checkatrade was originally set up as a local leaflet in the seaside town of Selsey after a storm to help the local community found trust worthy trades people to undertake the repairs needed. It grew from there and when I joined it was still run by the same gentleman from offices in Selsey and was brilliant and provided me with 80% of my work. Since then it has been sold twice and I think it now belongs to a company in Canada who will just milk you for all your worth. There has been a few very negative news story's on the company and the trade people that they promote. For example as to how bad checkatrade is, you use to have to send a copy of your insurance certificate that they would then check, now you just have to tick a box saying you have insurance without providing evidence. The only thing I lost when I quit was over 600 reviews but at least I'm not running around quoting jobs for people that have already asked 10 other companies and are just looking for who ever can do it the cheapest. -
The 230 is more convenient to maintain than the 150, easier access to blades, greasable bearings. Removable top to roller box. Engine compartment wise there’s little difference, same brilliant motor. The 150 was a game changer when it arrived, still fetching crazy money these days. The Schliesing is very well built, but a heavy bastard, 2.2 tonnes, no suspension. A pita for day to day stuff. Easy to maintain, plenty of space around the engine and stuff for curious fingers.

Holder A60 front loader help required!
openspaceman replied to Gareth Woolley's topic in Maintenance help
Do you know if it the same as the one fitted to the A55f? The spool block can be non oem, the reason it is in a bank with the steering spool is because there is a priority flow to the steering IIRC -
Try a search on here, there are a number of threads along the sort of "how much" lines. I suspect that more info will be needed from what I've seen in those threads.
