True word.....better to be over insured and covered than facing or watching misery!

Big cojones! anything is better than the trauma caused by a circular saw when fingers and hands go in......seen it a few times over the years including my own thumb. But like someone said, how would it react on a larger blade - even if it is slower?

Quick, get them in before that lot freezes!

I don't think that they have sold huge numbers of them so 2nd hand units are like hens teeth. By spreading your search for other makes, you will increase the chances of coming up with a similar tool carrier. Choice on those is limited as well. Stand on carriers are few and far between - look also at the Boxer for a start. Have a word with the people at Vermeer to see if there are any available in other markets, look at Mascus or Agriaffaires too. Good luck.

Spotted this on the Mascus machinery website. My 090 is over 30 years old and sits in the garage cover in dust! Now you can buy the 070 again!! Brilliant - no AV kit, small exhaust with no silencer and no chainbreak!

I read it as they have been appointed a Jensen dealer by Redwood, the importer. I thought that they were doing the Laski Raptor thing.....before that (June 2014) they were appointed a Schiesling dealer too.

Torque settings are written in the manual which is available as a download from the GreenMech website or viewable on a tablet or smart phone. If you have plane washers then I would say that 150nm is okay but some go upto 250nm if the fit Nordloc washers in place of the plane washer. A few simple rules are that the blade pocket and surrounding area is clean and also the back of the blade too. Also make sure that the nut orifice is also free from debris to ensure a complete metal to metal contact. Put a smear of grease in the blade pocket before placing the blade and in it and use a torque spanner or bar to get the correct setting. Same as any blade set up tbh.... I take it as the blade/bar gap is now down to something like original, someone had sharpened the wrong face on the old blades?

He is on about the components for a tracked woodchipper's undercarriage not the indeed rollers.

I got told some 20 years ago by someone from Hinckley and Bosworth that the diseases status of "notifiable" had been dropped as by the time it was visible, it was too late and the spoors had been blown through already. They actual advice was fell and chip, as fell and burn on site wasn't practical. Makes good firewood by the time it is noticed tbh.

My wife threw me out over 10 years ago when the kids where 5 and 7. It affected my son(7) a lot more than my daughter. I get the standard Divorced Dad's time - alternate weekends and tea on Wednesday the magic 104 nights..... I have to say that because their mother and I are so very different - it does mean that they did have two lives really. I admit that taking them back was always very difficult and upsetting but that is life tbh. When they did used to get upset, I focused them on the positive things like that their mother loved them, they had pets etc, fridge always full...blah blah blah. My son appreciates that I stayed single for the most part to be there for them and now I have a partner - my life, and theirs, will change again, but then, they are growing up and the dynamic will change again because of that too. My daughter is so very much like her mother, so we don't get on and contact will be lost again......shame, but life goes on and on. Good luck with your son, cherish the time and the events that you come across, teach him well and allow him to grow. He will be okay in the end......and be grateful for having a good ex!

solenoid that engages the cutter? do you mean electric clutch? That will be around the £500 mark I'll quess. How is it broken? Westcon are the importers and know their onions....

Caz got a book from Sainsbury. She was surprised to see a section from an "expert" who spent a while with her old boss, Pete Mellors, learning what he did with his to win prizes! Another thing to surprise me was the anchovy paste or fish essence that went in!

Our lass made some at home last weekend. They got ate before the jelly had set! She is the Production Supervisornat Maloney's in Tuxford and they make 1000s of pies of various types every year! They made 250 x 1lb game pies the week before Christmas, god knows how many miles of sausage rolls every month etc. She keeps me off them or I'd be supersize!

Bugger! Quins just beat Tigers....:-(

Very good advice! Because of the tip geometry, the back end of the blade can also be quite close. Thanks for adding your comments.

With the cassette on the bench, fit your sharp blades then have a look at how close the anvil is to the blades. Ideally, they want to pass the shear bar fairly closely. Check both blades as there may be a difference. If the gap is significant then undo the shear bar and slide it in to decrease the gap. Or, fit the shim between the blade and the blade bed. Hope that helps.....

Those LPA engines were delightfully uncomplicated but could blow head gaskets fairly easily if the covers weren't removed and the fins blown out. We used then for a few years and the were rated at about 25hp. Take the head off, flat it down on a sheet of emery on a flat service, fit new gasket and pushrod tubes then tighten it down! Nowt hard tbh as each pot was separate thing - all you need is torque settings and valve clearance distance. I don't think that expensive stretch bolts were required! Come monday, ring GreenMech on 01789 400044 and press 2 when prompted then ask Mac or Jason if they can remember who their nearest agent was or google Lister and contact them. An industrial diesel engine firm or a boatyard could help out if you cannot do it yourself. Good luck with it - make sure that the infeed chute complies with HSE before you go to war with her!

I got Rugby tickets too! Result!!! Although I am a Tigers fan....will have to see if I can get extra tickets as wench and dead weights might want to come too....

Hmmm, a photo might help. Lpa3? Air cooled? Could be one of ours, a Danequip or an Arboreater maybe. Describe it if no pictures available.....

Congratulations to the Arbtalk community for raising a decent amount of money for a worthy cause, many thanks to all the prize donaters, big slap on the back to Steve Bulman and those who assisted and finally, commiserations to those who only benefited in the giving. Bloody good effort.

Wouldn't your Vermeer dealer service any other make? After all, income us income no matter what and a grinder is a grinder!

Try contacting TS industrie or the current importer for a diagram. The current people are PSD Groundcare on 08450 773773, they are based in Colne, Lancs.

Allan Marshal has got the Iron Horse thing now and I always thought that a canny tool for small scale extraction amongst other stuff where access is required to get stuff in or stuff out! Anyone see that at the APF or know how much? Allan did tell me but I forgot.

I think that one of our service vans has a piece of box section which slides out of the van with a vice on it. Not for right heavy use etc but that kind of thing could be mounted underneath a tipper body easily enough and be useful enough to sharpen a saw or hold things for smaller works.
