To be honest, I doubt we would void warranty on such a minor conversion. Why not get a trolley type wheel in place of the original foot just to load, or rob a skateboard set and fashion a conversion with that. Better still, get a small winch with a remote to assist you.....

Adam, it was plucked from the ether by one of the GreenMech fabricator/welders, Steve Hamer. Or at least, that was the first time I saw it. In content, in reminded me of David Barrowcliff and his Dad, Claude. Both from a time past......

Somehow rings a bell with us old buggers!

Best wishes for the future.

I thought that TS originally made the frame and I would think that Gibson's of Colne would point the right direction for books etc as spares.

Congratulations! Pictures are proof of entry - I do believe that a naming ceremony is de rigour too.

Was he looking for a Darwin Award?

I had a thought the other day that Bingham had changed their name and had stopped the chipper. Anyone know if this is true or what happened to Grev?

Best get hold of the Avon lady then!

You got it! The cheap thing that shears torx drives when you whack them! Torque them back up to the correct setting as listing in the book - available as a PDF off of our website.

Tidy looking outfit Sean Hughes! A big investment and I wish you all the best for the future....

Some office staff off for the next week so the best thing to do is either call me on 07774 282481 or call the factory on 01789 400044 and press 3 for Mac or Jason in the service department. Cheers.

This is the section for Forst! Please limit your responses to that subject only. Best etiquette is for Forst/Redwood to respond only.....

I clean out the torx drives, get a sizeable punch and bounce a hammer on the top of each one then give it a stout belt with the torx drive in an impact driver. I have bust a tool but hey ho! that is lifes rich tapestry. That is why tools are sold in singles too....

What works for you? Off on holiday soon and, usually, Caz and a couple of the kids get hounded! I get bitten a couple of times but nowt compared to them! Best recommendations please - we are off to Crete.

Bit of an oxymoron! The discharge chute goes to 360 degrees which violates H&SE! Sorry my friend, don't waste your money. Why does it cost £1,350 when our 9" PTO driven thing is over £10k? I can tell you that to chip 8" effectively, you need a load more than 30hp! Please burn your rubbish rather than loose your money on this!!!!

As above!

Important question relating to the Stihl calender
PeteB replied to monkeybusiness's topic in General chat
Dan, there is either something mesmerising about the calendar or you got too much time on your hands! -
I got a used DR unit - 2 smoke! Far better than carrying something and will take 6mm cord! But will throw a bigger 4 stroke at it when it dies! Choices are fairly limited tbh but I would recommend wearing goggles at the least.

It would really depend on the type of oil used. We do specify 1000 hrs as said, but we have that if it is that bio stuff we chuck into some machines at customers request. Other oil people might have a different view depending on the grade. Personally, if it is still clear - I might be tempted to leave it.

I think our brochure shows it in a transit doorway! I know I've done it - take the discharge end off if rolling up a couple of ramps.

I always associate Shibaura with compact tractors and banks mowers.

<p>Hi Stewart, yes, they are all EU homolageted. I have the feeling that you will cause me some grief by trying to source one here again - am I correct? Cheers.</p>

I think it is! If you do a lot of domestic stuff or narrow access jobs then that is your circus! I spoke to a guy who does for Network Rail and is looking at one for his operation! I didn't do a great deal of domestic or back yard work but I still got two discs that try to pop out and they are possibly a result of being a brash rat!

I thought the same, he looked frustrated..... Nice line in ppe I thought....
