The main differences being a change in the flywheel from two to four blades and easier blade access. We are generally going away from the duo or square bade as disc blades are so much easier to care for, will accept more abuse and are cheaper too! It isn't a quick change either as the QuadChip has been around for several years now and is a top performer!

Good call Moel! Nope, I don't but good luck in your search.

Vanguard has an integral fuel tank whereas the Honda has to have one mounted elsewhere and than can be a bit unbalanced at times.

Define "conked out" please, I did see Grev Bray pass by our stand at SALTEX and may have a way of getting hold of him. I'm not sure that they are currently being made.....

I never turn my phone off and probably had a spring in the car, but I am miles away, had no phone signal and am off with manflu! Sorry for your woe, have you sourced another okay?

Hi Ben, could the suppliers give you a list of people who have purchased them?

Mac, Jason and I once moved a six ton tracked mulcher to a position where it could be restarted with a 5hp Honda petrol with a pump mounted on it. I used the same thing to move a SafeTrak off site and onto a lorry with the same after the owner had screwed his engine.

Tracks have an internal brake which is released only when oil flows. If it is engine based and cannot be fixed on site, use a donkey engine and another pump plumbed into circuit and inch it off. I have seen major works carried out on site before - inconvenient maybe, but sometimes it is the only way.

Tough break Ben, non illegitimate carborundum.

Jeez! That's tough man, good luck in the hunt! Hope it goes well for you.

I got an su manifold surplus!

It will get worse! It might take a while, but it will deteriorate. I would leave it for a while as it might be best to yak the engine out or you might get away with removing the front panel and radiators. If you yak the motor, check the clutch and rear seal too.

What a simple but worthwhile addition - well done to those concerned.

not to be confused with Camel's toe Ian....I'll have one lasered out just for you!

Sorry there, been away to Devon with the wench! If you want a turned socket from GM, ask me!!! Or a crows foot!!!

Phone Jenkinsons? Tony Saunders might be worth a call too.

You got a fair amount in that chip box Stuart!

Frogsy does a bit for Chris Ball Forestry, you could try any ground care or lawn mower outfit.....they would have a surface grinder as would a good engineering company.

Using a chipper with a broken or inoperative No Stress device willnot do any further damage but it will block up with chips when the flywheel slows down and isn't producing the blow that is needed to clear the chips out.

If you got a hole but no thread, use a bit and bolt with some fibre washers to clamp the flap at the required angle.

David and I discussed this earlier today. It does sound like a fuel issue and not oil burning as compression values are good.

I'd look to crankcase breather too. Poor rings would show smoke perpetually as well as poor performance through bad compression.

Ouch! Nasty nick there! Hope the op went well and good luck for a speedy recovery.

Welcome to the Wee Chipper Club! Just because it isn't a CS100 doesn't get you barred, the ethos is all about being small isn't wrong! A 10" chipper is a good thing but you wouldn't push it around a house into the back garden!
