Please don't. Please, please don't. Save up or finance something that will do the job justice, have some value, integrity and purpose. Something that has pedigree and supports the British, European or American market - not a bloody copy that means nothing to our economy. And buy it from a local dealer too....
-
As the title said.
-
Makes it an even better find for being from the trade!
-
Thought of a crane type device?
-
More like some kind of stamp for strip steel as the two halves meet when the handle is depressed. Maybe for fitting something to the strip of steel that sits in the brakets on either side with clamps. nice find though, can imagine it blacked up with gold highlights.....

Steve, you have an ECM150MT30D. Also known as a Combi, the only truely dedicated chipper and shredder with indeed rollers available.
-
Nice one! had me a giggle there....

Help fixing A530t tracked chipper stuck in Glasgow!

Jeff, give ILH a call at Kirklingtilloch, Ian and his sons are handy enough and know their onions. -
Define "very large domestic scale" please. Sometimes it is better to go oversize than go too small and I'm awfully afraid that some shredders are too much on the hobby side of things for the scale that you want to carry out. Is budget a real limiting factor?
-
Sorry Steve, mind wandered a bit. Back on track chaps......

Off to Crete with a car hired from Charnia and my current thing doesn't appear to want to do Crete. What are the recommendations for a replacement? Cheers.

2200 tow capacity!?! Sweet amount and a sweet ride to boot! Can you fit a tow bar to the RS6?
-
My old Rodeo did 264k in 5 to 6 years and and the current Ranger has 64k in 20 months.
-
Probably more than an Audi estate should tow maybe?
-
Will agree with, good show and if you want to go it is quicker to pre book online! Also, remember to look at where you left your wheels as I saw a couple of folk looking for theirs and we were parked in rows on a runway! Confusing for some! Good to see this show gaining in size after what happened at SED. Didn't see one chipper though!

Hi Martin, you are correct in that you can over grease bearings and do more harm than good. The gallery that carries the grease from the nipple to the bearing races can get blocked and then it is hard to get grease to where it is needed and pumping in too much grease can pop the seals out too. Sometimes it is advisable to rotate the part will introducing the grease, this could get it in fairly equally. Ine something a grinder, there is the school of thought that purge/cleaning is best but on a chipper, I would've said 2/3 pumps once a week would be ideal.

The current people for TS woodchippers which are Quick Chip are a company called PSD or Gibsons Machinery in Colne, Lancashire. You could your old roller into a engineering company and ask them to re cut tge keyway or copy the complete thing.
-
For private use, I run a circular saw on a grey Ferguson dual fuel. Works a treat! I would imagine a splitter, either cone or blade should go okay but a hydraulic woodchopper maybe a hit much in terms of cost/benefit ratio.
-
Got a box of MAC and a set of Halfords, plus odds of other makes and have to say that the Halfords feel better!
-
Add the cost of getting HSE compliant makes this a very dear PTO machine - chuck the rest in at a metal merchants.
-
Work is work. Do it.....
-
Any good groundcare place should do them, failing that, a good engineering firm will have a surface grinder!
-
Acacia Ground care Machines is in southern Sussex and they would be a good call.
-
The Laimet is a good call but I don't see them second hand at all often, and I would have thought that 50hp was too little? How much is one new? If they do want to use the chips as fuel then surely the fresh cut thinking's etc is too wet and, same as that Welmac polish made logger, storing piles of brash once cut until they are dry enough is a pain and waste of energy doing the job twice. A Greenmech PTO machine would be about using finance to get a suitable, useable unit rather than "this isn't suitable but it fits the pocket now" type of deal.

Not over impressed with mpg but otherwise, it is a truck and does what it was brought to do. The one I'm in has just turned over 60k in less than two years and I fitted a TDI Tuning chip to try and get half decent mpg.
