Oops - chipped a top handle

[gensetsteve]

Surey a top handle through a chipper would knacker a chipper, the guide bar would do the most damage surely?!

 

I've got my mouth open reading this thread lol, never so much as lost a pruning saw through a chipper in ten years!! Well maybe a coke can or two

 

Got any pics?!

 

I would imagine the crankshaft would do the most damage.

This is all that was left of a 2month old stihl hs81 hedge cutter! After some dragging bitch never checked the hopper on a GM safe trac before he started it up.

I remember seeing a nicely bent guide bar on a Stihl 260 that had been left in the hopper of a tracked Jensen by somebody we used to refer to as 'Idiot Boy'.

A former employer once rolled a bonfire onto a blower. We only found a lump of metal!

My old groundie's fed the wolf a multitude of items, from the usual rakes, brooms, shovels, too a 460 bar and chain, a pair of felcos (including strop and krab), numerous bits of re-bar, hanging basket brackets, cast iron inspection covers, jumpers, but the only thing that really upset her was one of those 360 degree rotating scaffold brackets....stopped her dead! smashed the knives to bits and destroyed 3 fins.

How the heck, does one not notice an inspection cover?

In fairness to him it was one of those 5-6" little round ones and he'd put the stone fork tine through it while clearing up....... Still wasn't very funny though

Ah I see.

 

On a slightly different note.

Why is it so difficult to pry one of those covers open, to access what lays beneath when you need to. Yet one corner can be just proud of the surface, so you half trip every time your foot passes by?

We had a husky 372 go through a gm safetrak Whilst tracking along once that didn't go down well
