Cheers, I'll start looking for an engine?

I've more than had my money's worth out of my chipper but the engine has let it down by being really unreliable recently.  I dont use it much, which is part of the problem,  so I've been thinking of getting shot but I think I'll look properly into this. 

Especially with a 50% power upgrade!

Really what you need to do is if your engine is still running now is measure the RPM of the drum now and again once you've fitted a new engine. Going for the same size pulley is a starting point, but if the new engine revs 500rpm more than the old engine the machine might fancy self destructing...

What's your secret for blades then? Have a special supplier?

It’s no secret ?, an I’m sure he’d be happy of the extra work, what are you paying for blades, mine are very similar size to cs100 blades an cheap as chips, he’ll also do the larger Chipper blades ?

M500 blades are £225+vat for genuine. They are 500mm long though.

Cs100 blades are very similar in size and shape to mine just holes are different, mine are approximately £12 each and I’ve had the heavy duty blades from a certain supplier for £90 each, same same ?

You need to speak to Glyn and he’ll probably need an old blade and the angles

Is that a proper business that's turning them out? As for £12 the cost of materials, machinery and the guys time he cannot make any money.

 

Or is it more of a cash in hand, beer tokens for an employed guy?
