Does anyone make a small chipper like these that is road towable?

You could start an eBay shop.

You don’t worry when you’ve had a few.

But on the upside they do have a lot of princesses with £millions to give away,,, and they only need your bank details and they are happy to share it with you.

It's taken a while - we now have 1/4 drive sprockets for the 540XPs. These are exclusive to us. No one else has them in the world (as we developed the mold for them). What this means is you can run 1/4 .043[1.1mm] chains on your 540XP. AND you could also run carving bars - the sprocket will run both 1/4 .043[1.1mm] and 1/4[1.3mm].

Morning All, decent lie in here and she gone for the tea now. Biblical rain yesterday and think my garage is flooded again. Hopefully watching rugby on the box after a few errands. Be good y'all! Handel, Palma, Stash.

Specsavers’s reminder letters increase the font size the longer you let an eye test slide. A little thing that cheers me up no end.

Is this a one off or something that may come up again in future? It's something I've often thought would be interesting to be involved with, however I'm booked for the remainder of the year.

If you read what Mark wrote you will see its not a casting defect but the casing was scored from a thrown chain . He did a quick repair by removing the burr and scoring that was causing the problem . Aside from that , a 395xp is a cracking ( old school now ) saw that is tried and tested . I have one ( Crocky ported ) and have had 2x 394xp as well over the years .

I'm told that it was one of many that had issues.

Turns out it is the X having checked, so must be the same as all others. Cheers

Yes. When wood smoulders, with no flame burning the offgas, what is happening is the fire is hot enough to pyrolyse wood but not hot enough to reach the autoignition temperature of the offgas. Nascent char is oxidising to give off enough heat to sustain its combustion but largely without flame . Thus the acrid smoke going up the chimney condenses on the cold chimney as pyroligneous acid. This can eat mortar. I think it is slightly worse with hardwoods as it contains acetic acid (wood vinegar). Before organic chemistry took off pyrolysing beech was a major source of acetic acid. In 2002 I was snagging a large woodchip boiler at a department store in Milton Keynes where they had been burning rejected/returned flat pack furniture and one part of the flue had become too cool. Here is a picture of a 316 stainless steel single skin pipe that had been perforated by the acid that condensed, though in this case I think it was probably hydrochloric acid from some plastics that were associated with the furniture.

It keeps popping up doesn't it.

You'd think an important function like justice would be carried out by capable people; failsafe, double checked etc. It isn't. It's performed as competently as anything else the government does. Oh look, Alex is whingeing about government again. I talk with lawyers pretty much daily. I've done loads of bits of legal work experience. I've helped people with legal stuff. I've been through various legal proceedings on my own account, mainly doing it myself. Three days ago I settled an 18 month civil claim with a 9 year history, that I ran from start to finish. Same thing everywhere. Errors are the rule, not the exception. Two weeks ago I was served a copy of a court order (which you can go to prison for not obeying) mandating something be done by a date that had already passed. Evidently computer generated and not checked. You call the court. Everyone's off sick. They can look at it in about five weeks' time (by which time other contingent deadlines will have passed). You call the court via a different telephone number. You get a different answer. Total joke.

You’re an engineer Dan. You know it makes sense.

Yep as above with the link

I’ve used the TP 175D a few times but never owned one. It’s a solid tracked chipper and handles rough ground well. The feed system is strong, but it can bog down if the blades get dull. And parts are on the pricier side, so keep that in mind. If you’re working on uneven or muddy areas, it’s a good machine.
