  1. At first I thought you meant you had just replaced the chassis on your Landy Dean but that is a whole new back end right down to the wheel nuts.. Proper job.
  2. Yes mate through the locks on both boxes and ground anchores and wheel clamps and headlock for the chipper and two locked bollards behind the door ... Then some how moved a tractor with lowered 3pt linkage winch and no battery all whilst people slept in tents 20 meters away.
  3. Me too , I have seen a lot of distorted pines in the Czech Republic and was told it was snow damage to young trees I think the guy was not to sure either...but I seriously doubt there has been any serious snow in Bedfordshire since the early 80's but it could be possible.
  4. They did a lot of cutting in my place and I know a guy down the road had three alarms as well as cctv they did all but one alarm before it went off and they ran,But give them time and they will happily cut away..should of got that alarm!
  5. Relatively good news in the whole situation:) the police had a very good idea of who did mine but had No evidence what so ever also one of the first things they did was take out the cctv cameras, so if you do install them make it discreet, personally I think alarms are one of the best deterrents. I really hope they get a good result from the barsteward slicing himself though.
  6. Yep ! Could be an interesting project but the tractor it would go on is only around 100hp.
  7. I fancy it at that price to convert back but it's a long way to go.
  8. Yeah I just looked at the pics the draw bar looks a little crazy!
  9. Cheers spud I think I'll Change the lines and see what happens, pre filter in carb looks clean.
  10. I think it actually is registered with schliesing from what the original seller has said .. Don't see what the problem is with putting an engine on a tpo chipper it still retains the safety features , although this machine is too old to comply with most of them!! Even so it would be worth buying just to put back on 3 pt linkage if you had the time and skill.
  11. Would be good videos to show a new groundy , the last vid is how you use a rake !! Thanks for sharing james.
  12. Says 90 meters on the riko website. Worth checking out they have the spec table.
  13. It now runs fine half choke but dies with any throttle..,??
  14. Brush cutter is back together but not running ... Tank is seriously venting with the cap it will just about run on half choke or flicking back and fourth between full and none.. Any ideas O grand 2 stroke master??
  15. Felled about 13 big elms in a park 6 or so years ago that had been treated in the 80's to great expense, most had died or were dying at the point of felling so my guess is it had worked to a degree but I don't think any one is offering injections or treatment any more also all other elms in the immediate area had long since died so that's my reasoning to it been effective. Felled quite a few more survivors that to my knowledge had never been treated in the same time period all within a 10 mile radius to these about the same time so it was weird they had survived for so long being left as lone trees to suddenly succumb bearing in mind elm probably accounted for the majority of trees in the area before DED. I dead wooded this one when I was about 17 and it finally died around 7 years ago shame as it was an amazing tree and I don't think a wych elm that is more resilient and has a few survivors.
  16. What wood is the second pic tony ?nice work all round.
  17. Do you have a forwarding triailer ? You could keep it simple then and carefully lift logs on to a basic mill, and possibly turn heavy wood when needed although I've never had to do that, just put up the dogs and roll with a Kant hook.
  18. I believe from memory they are identical apart , you can buy a combi tool unbolt from the kombi shaft like I've done with a hedge cutter in utter desperation to finish a job and it fitted straight on a Hl 75... I was advised by a Stihl dealer once though not to buy a combi system as it would be weak ,unfortunately I didn't listen and quite a few problems with shafts especially on hedge cutters and the blower attachment.
  19. No bother mate , looking forward to see some work pics.
  20. If you just brought the non combi head it will go strait on I used to alternate on a hl75 with pole saw hedge cutter and strimmer.
  21. Indeed very versatile knot used it for pulling stumps and trees , I can't tie a Clove hitch though:(
  22. Gustharts for Stihl and I've seen carving bars for husky's in Dixons in Hexham so both could sell you a ready to go out the box saw for carving depending on your preferred brand
