Welcome to the Wee Chipper Club! There are some right good tips available if you trawl that thread. Or give me a call next week on 07774 282481

Everything has a place in the market. This is just another rebranded product brought to market with Hyundai colours and brand. They doing it a lot at the moment with generators, compressors, saws, and all manner of stuff, not made or touched by Hyundai in any way. This is cheap, would get you out of a spot, would be as hard work as any other small grinder and as long as the buyer takes that into consideration, would sit in the shed and occasionally be useful.

Love the description!!! However, never touch the long screw bolt thingy on draw bar! Never mess with the linkage unless new shoes/drums/cables have been fitted!
-
They look the same add fitted to the Laski/Predator grinders. Get a price from the Predator people at Henly on Thames.
-
Hmm, my thoughts exackerly! Maybe four figures....

A woodchippers is, effectively, a fully loaded trailer. Far to many people ignore the maintenance of the braking system, and the wheels and hubs. One hot wheel could be a sign of poor bearings, a damaged cable not letting a brake off, or even misalignment from axle damage.

Wise words!

Big ask! Good luck with your search!

<p>Yes thanks, in a less touristy area with farmhouse food and the noise of goats,sheep, chickens, trkeys and yapping dogs mixed in with the sound of surf! 29 during the day 20 plus at night! Mythos beer is cold too! On the coast south of Skaloti on the south closer to Africa! Had to come through the Imbros gorge again in the dark again. What a ride! Of skinny dipping today! You lot okay?</p>

Do that and impound the vehicles means that they have to stay! They will then scream victimisation of a minority group etc!
-
Good find Dan, best way to demostrate a situation!
-
I'd look at this route too (sorry about the pun!). Or, ring a few grinder suppliers and ask who has what etc, get something fairly substantial, and try to make life easier!
-
You tried Acaia Ground care Machinery Rental? Or APlant at Ford?
-
Get up there Richy! You would benefit from the trip both in the acquisition and the meeting of Tom!
-
Those wheels and tyres will hum a bit at speed and make town driving with narrow streets and tight turns fun! A narrow boat would be more manageable!

The Ford relationship centre were involved, but after the engine issue washed their hands basically saying that of the DPF is not regenerating then we have to buy a new one. The truck has only done 118k in three years so is beyond any warranty. Interestingly, it is sold as a commercial vehicle but limited to domestic car warranty. The Ranger that we have as a spare has always had a 'cough' when accelerating up through the lower gears, the quick clear screen is only 25% effective, the radio\phone controls are intermittent, the radio behaves like the aerial is missing and the drivers seat does not remain at the same height. I went and sat in a Rodeo Utah a day ago, that was a nice office! We will be offloading the Rangers early, I understand, and I'd like an automatic please!

Well, the hits keep on coming! After over a dozen regen cycles I get it back, 50 miles later the warning light s come back on! So Bristol Street have it back and get their best man on the job who is really experienced in DPF issues. He finds a load of incorrect codes and does yet more regen cycles and solves the job, yet 60 miles later it comes back with DPF issues and back she goes. Ford wash their hands when we ask for subsidy and the dealer let's us have it back with a new DPF and a bill. 90 miles later the lights come back on, no power and juddering engine. After sitting around in a dealership for the best part of seven hours, our spare truck appears and I get onwards. I'll not entertain a Ford again nor recommend Bristol Street Motors in Redditch to anyone either.

Just to straighten things.....The 190 is a good machine and will available for a while, as is the 1928. But we took the opportunity to talk to a wider audience and try a few more detailed changes. On balance they helped us to make up our minds and take another look at horizontal rollers. The infeed was redesigned to take flapped chute with bottom bar, push button controls and rear mounted throttle. Some of these changes were, in part, due to stiff changes demanded by French authorities and France is a good market for us. The different design and new livery has been well received.

GreenMech brought 5 Rangers and one went to a close firm and we run 3x2.2 and 1X3.2 all came from Bristol Street in Redditch. We have one new engine, one new oil pump, one new slave cyclinder, three windscreens and now a dpf. The height adjustable seats sink, buttons on the steering wheel don't work and a faulty radio. Tyre wear isn't good and fuel economy varies across the range! The supplying dealer wasn't good at the sales side, with missed appointments and lack of communication, parts people who were completely unreliable and uncommunicative and the service people don't do what they say they'll do. The tell me that my dpf has broken internally and it shouldn't yet want over a grand to change it! Needless to say, we won't be bothering them for new trucks again. Rant over!

I too think a switch has been pressed as it turns over fine but doesn't even try to fire! Will crack a hose to see if ought comes out. Will also check to see if any fuses have gone too!

He has been a lurker on Arbtalk for a number of years and I would always turn to him for advice to give out should I not know the answer. He is a good bloke despite driving a RAV4! I'll cut/paste this into the Maintenance Section too.

Think the missus might suspect me of this! Old style sprung clutch, never touched the flywheel, petrol, reconnected everything and it did start and run once! Now just turns over - the gas in the tank is a year old mind!
