    Do we think that it was left there to see if it had a tracker fitted? If it was there still after a couple of days then they knew that o devices were fitted......glad you got it back still.

    GreenMech built a test rig or rolling road to try out an axle. The unit recommendation for that weight machine did show signs of sag so we replaced it with an axle with a heavier rating for production. But, again, an implied warranty is given by that supplier and we (and the end user) are governed by that. I have seen many machines of all makes that have been under maintained and used too hard by uncaring people. The OP should have had his agreement explained to him at the outset and while I feel sorry for him, there is a process to follow which Redwood have to adhere to as laid down by their supplier.

    Brian, Rowan Bell at Thorne Engineers could help you as he has rebuilt a few over the years.

    To be fair, the axle is a brought in component which is only supplied with a limited warranty at best, from the original makers. It is quite common for the owner to be asked to buy the replacement and retrospectively try to get the costs back through warranty. If the axle manufacturer cannot find a manufacturing fault, they would deem that it has failed through bad driving practice and therefore not their problem. A warranty policy document and a good sales practice should make sure that what is covered, for how long and what the warranty procedures is, are an open subject with nothing hidden. No company would offer any kind of consequential losses either.

    I would think that standard 32 VAE hydraulic oil and EP90 gear oil would do. However, ring Gibsons in Lancashire as their spin off, PSD, are the current importers of the TS range.

    As an update, I got a TDI Tuning box to fit to see what difference that makes to mpg.

    The two flats are the shims, you can also shimmy the anvil too and fro! Torx drives are okay with the proviso that they are done up to 28nm with a torque wrench and I tend to give them a whack with a big punch before hitting them with a torque drive! Simples....the manual is available as a download from our website. Go to "Products", then " CS100" then "Download Manual". Welcome to the Wee Chipper Club.

    Does look like gap and blunt blades to me too.

    Thanks for that! A priceless piece of comedy......

    Thanks for your comments Joy, it was good to meet and Ronan. I'll post a couple of pictures later.

    I would look at the fuel side first. Sounds like muck in the system that eventually causes it to halt.

    He is loitering with intent behind the thing too!

    Thanks for the review! Best regards - see you at the AA at Westonbirt.

    Like you guys, occasionally too, we suppliers screw up when we drop something through the gaps unintentionally. Top marks for Dean fessing up and trying hard to put things to rights. We, (and that includes just about everyone), live a hectic work life and do screw up! And that can effect both our professional and personal life! We do not ignore anyone intenionally but time and technology can get in the way. Last week, I missed three calls and two texts for three days until the phone burped them out!

    Could be interesting grain in that butt length! Don't let it go for logs please.....

    Thanks Matt, as a previous post says, any bother is best followed by a call to Mac or Jason on 01789 400044 and press 2!

    I had heard that Jensen would no longer deal with Redwood with either parts or whole goods. They would have to source parts from another outfit if they were not a generic item...

    Is this one of the Chinese built jobbys? Is it CE compliment? Sorry, not taking the rise but.....
  20. PeteB
    Is there one? I am looking for a regional list as I want to buy a lorry load in the round and get it delivered. In my case, not for gain but for the family, with me spending hours behind the log bench for fun and fitness!?! My spot is just off the A1 at Tuxford and load to be sourced from surrounding counties.

    Global Sales.

    Sorry to hear of the bother. Make sure your security is upped and covered before you replace too much as the scum could well return knowing that you have replaced your gear. Very best wishes for the future.

    Chippendale Plant in Leeds are selling off a few from their fleet, including a Safetrac for those in need of one for rail work!

    On the same song sheet! I said 5-8mm in and out, mid span on the longest run! Is that in your yard Dean? I had someone after a used one this week.
