Lime trees!?! High pedestrian activity, camping, posh cars, outside catering/eating? All that sticky fall out? Nice....

20 odd years ago, the management company had every chip out if my ysrd and rented a machine and two guys to make more wood chips for that European F1 grand Prix. It rained incessantly for the weekend! Nobody got muddy though. Buggers never gave me cheap ticket neither!

Nice job Roger, they were a bit of a landmark, why did the have to go? Has timber gone back to your yard?
-
Anyone done it? What tecnique did you use? Onto which tree species? Any good tips?
-
What a dullard! That didn't read too well did it! No bad intended. Sorry Bob.......

Dean! You look slimmer than you sound! (Ho Ho Ho)

Nope! That's just you......but then, it doesn't weigh over 2 ton either!

Still like the Iron Horse myself.

As per previous post, get the main drive belts off and restart the engine and throw the rollers into reverse and get the no stress device fixed.
-
whats that thing on the floor by the bed? blue and tubular......
-
It is a Jensen. Their top roller can "waggle" as it is on a UJ with shaft drive to a gearbox which drives both rollers with one hydraulic motor. It is supposed to aid feeding awkward material. Plus the roller rises up in an arc instead of parrallel.

Take the drive belts off and start engine, pull bars into reverse! Then fix the no stress device!
-
Elder brother, younger sister. I've one of each and my sig other has same.

Ben, you could try John Young from Melton Mowbray, or Pete Lord. They have kit that will manage.

TP200 turntable - what to look for?
PeteB replied to Arbtech Tree Services's topic in Large equipment
Depending on hours, check the edge of the shear bars or anvils. Take a blade off to check the beds.Do the infeed controls work and comply with theregs? -
I got some Tea Tree and Mint shower gel "Original Source" from either Tesco or the CoOp the other night. Smells okay, minty and Eucalyptus ish, lathered up okay, easy to use etc.... Do you remember that sensation that you used to experience when Mother ysed to put Vicks VapourRub around your nostrils as a kid.....kinder cold, yet hot? Uncomfortable enough for you to want to get it off? That's what this stuff is like around the wastegate and biffing skin!!! Caveat Emptor!, gentlemen.
-
Good luck with claim and I hope that those who deprived you hurt bad....
-
Cannot remember the prices, but I used to buy chain oil in 205 litres and two smoke in 25!
-
Si! Try talking to Nottingham City tree team, they have a yard out by the racecourse at Colwick or ask at the racecourse to see if they need it.
-
Just to add something here....it is a water cooled engine (same as most in woodchippers) and you have to have water/antifreeze mix in the radiator and air flow through the radiator to cool said fluid! The sensor cannot sense hot air in the engine! No fluid means no measurement......
-
Mat! PM your number across and I'll get a sales rep to call you with his best price.

Insurance is one of my pet hates from when I ran a tree surgery outfit with 12 staff aged from late teens to late 30s. Back then (14 years ago), my single cab 130 with pickup body cost half to insure what my 4x4 Transit did because it went on an Ag and Forestry Policy but the Transit had to go on Commercial Vehicle policy, but they did the same job. My ex Royal Mail Astravan cost the same to insure as my £38k 4x4 Iveco! And my streched Range Rover was dearer for me and the then wife than if I had it "any driver, any age"!!!!
