Anyone had it done? How does it fair? What sort of cost involved? Who did it?

As Ash says! 130 is the same as the 150 bar the engines and bonnet! The EFI unit is computer controlled so will start pretty instantly, no choke, will handle old fuel better, will alter it's settings for altitude and is more economical than the carb version. I did hear that they can tuned be to a higher output too! Although, I think is more than just meddling with a laptop! The engine guy calls them Vanguard, the homeowner range of engines are called Briggs and Stratton. The commercial Vanguard are as good as the Honda range but the old B&S tag sticks unfairly.

We use a couple of Sprinter beavertails to deliver and collect wood chippers. If I was needing a chip truck, I'd go for it. But, don't write off getting an O licence and getting something that can carry!

Just an update. My local Ford Ranger supplier put it on the diagnostic and confirmed an ABS fault and an engine issue! (No shit, Sherlock!) It wouldn't MOT as the ABS wouldn't work and they wouldn't be able to look at it for 3 weeks. I got to use someone else's cast off until such time it can be fixed.

I had a single wheeled 5300kg Transit on my fleet before I went to work for GreenMech. Just as capable as a twin wheeled Transit and possibly slightly better on grass as the thin tyre cut through to get a grip. Is having an off-road capability your thing? If so, get a proper 4x4 and leave more stuff on site.

As said, mixing the fuels is not a good thing. Essentially, use ordinary fuel and when you are doing the last job, turn off the fuel tap and let it run out. Ideally, don't leave a load in the tank. When you next go to use it, put done new, fresh stuff in and after a bit of cranking, it should be a good un! Good question to ask too. A few machinery dealers who 'winter service' machines either add an additive or point out that if it doesn't start, drain/flush and refill!

Chipper no stress control built in other options advice
PeteB replied to mitchel's topic in Large equipment
If it doesn't have a "No Stress" device, I wonder if it is that old that it no longer complies with H&SE regulations with regards to chipper infeed controls, height and length. I'd check those before spending any money on it! -
PM me your email and I'll send that buff tomorrow when I get home.

Pidgeons seemed to roost above my bench!

It's a 63 plate 2.2 and the abs did appear to pulse back through the pedal a few times on a dry surface! You got a clue?
-
The EML has come on, along with the ABS and ESP lights. Cruise control is inoperative and for a while it surged/waned. Anyone got a clue? My local Ford dealership were their usual helpful selves, couldn't be bothered to plug it in but will look at it in ten days when they do the MOT. Engine and DPF have done 70k the rest 170k. Full Ford history etc.....

Had mine done some 20 years ago, I'd stopped full time tree work and had just started at GreenMech on the production line. No issues post operative but whoever said that it is a painless procedure was lying! Mrs refused to help with sample gathering and she has called me a tosser since!

It's only worth what you and the po where decide on. Sorry, that isn't much help but they (and the type) are too thin on the ground to make serious comment. I remember looking at something similar back in the 80's and decided that the cab was too uncomfortable for anything but site use and road speed too slow. As a source of PTO, there were many tractors available and the weren't a decent load carrier. Try looking on agriaffaires po to mascus for comparable devices. Would be interested in your thoughts though! What are your intentions with such a device?
-
Machines like the TW involve a tool to remove the side panels, this involves a thought process, collection of the correct tool and then using it. Hopefully, by then, you will have reasoned the foolishness of opening while it runs. A bonnet switch or "Interlocking interface" should switch off the engine if activated.
-
Engine should cut out once bonnet is lifted, this is protect little fingers from spinning pulleys and moving belts and fans!
-
Con, from your first picture, I'd say that it doesn't comply with current H&SE regs with regards to the length of the chute and height with that control bar. Is it worth doing anything with?
-
Anyone seen it yet? Usually seen around Gaydon!
-
Something else worth noting is the rate at which fuel degrades too. Some EFI engines running modern software can manage but low tech engines do not like old fuel. If you intend to leave an engine on the shelf for a while, empty the tank and run the carb dry, or put an additive in the tank. Top advice from Ash at GA Groundcare mind.
-
Any further thoughts? You could try ringing Gibson's at Colne, TS come in via PSD, a division of Gibson's. Or, ring Timberwolf and ask for Jeremy Smithers for help as he used to be the sole UK contact for TS. Good advice from Jason mind, TS, Schiesling and a couple of others used the German made EHB box.
-
We make them for someone else, they were dearer than the CS100 and that is a price driven market so they are sold in Europe by another outlet.

Go to your local Groundcare machinery dealer, they may well have a surface grinder and get the right angle for the blades.

Some good colours flowing through recently.
