I've not looked personally but is there anything in the Sparex catalogue?

Bit of volume reduction, easier to 'hoover' up the residuals, cheap to buy or sharpen a blade that hits a bit of gravel etc, and you can get it down the back garden without a drag etc.

Give it to the apprentice then!

When I've done shrub bashing or hedge cutting outside my own place, I run over it with a mower! Anything that is woody, I chop that out and chuck it in the recycling garden waste bin, the rest gets run over several times until it gets blown into the bag and that gets added to the grass clippings and again, lobbed int garden waste bin! works a treat! If you do do this on the lawn, it can damage the grass if done to hard or vigorously - but a good watering afterwards can help.

Scrape and wipe on both mating faces. If the bolts are in a recess, clean that out too. Ditto washers.

If they ain't left on the floor, an awful lot get sold to the big biomass suppliers. Prices seem to vary but if they are a bi-product to arb works for which you are getting paid for, anything is a bonus! Even if it clears the yard for a few quid per tonne. For the main part, standard road towed chippers from the likes of GreenMech, Timberwolf, Redwood, jensen etc (apologies to those not listed) are for volume reduction of brash and small timber. A small scale biomass plant would find this too wet or it may block up the auger if the firetrap motor or mechanism cannot handle the odd shapes or stringy bits. There seems to be a number of large projects on at the moment (HS2, Smart Motorway) that folk are kitting up for with chip removal being classed as part of the reimbursement. But that seems to be a beginning of the race to the bottom with folk classing the chip as the income!

A new GreenMech Evo165P can be had for £56 a week, cheap as chips, warranty and peace of mind!

Liam Webb at Maple Tree Care in Nottingham isn't too far away if the diary isn't fitting with Lordy. SimpArb are over by Ancaster, they have a Heizohack too.

I got a manual for a 260 of anyone wants it?
-
We still have stock of the 45hp unit for our Arb200 and we also fit the same to our new Evo165 as a limited edition
-
I see that amongst the other interesting kit there, they have several new and unregistered Landrovers of different types available. All listed as "not for use in EU countries". Why would that be as they would easily sell if they were?
-
Only fans! Now that is a bizarre thing that someone was trying to tell me about! Must be getting old and lead a sheltered life! Bus shelter, air raid shelter and so on....

Asking for a friend?
-
Only any good as a distraction?
-
Bin the tractor and get something that works?
-
We have done a couple which had their own pump and tank before and I have kitted a tractor out with a return to tank via the filler and just used the tipper circuit before now!
-
I had a County Transit. Live axles and twin wheels on the back. Half decent to get across wet grass but got bogged too easy elsewhere! Slows as a slow thing on the road and bloody noisy in the cab. Utility people I used to work alongside with had had these and the later units with single rear and working with IFS. They had smaller diameter wheels and tyres which help it get stuck quicker!
-
60hp at the engine in a 165 is closer to 50 at the shaft i would think. Probably best to stay to 6" or so. Otherwise, getting a heavy rotor to start may be a little taxing and once going, it will slow down quite quickly, the 'No Stress' will cut in often and quickly and it may take a little longer to spin up to speed again. But with a 6" machine, you could conceivably run it in 1000 speed and reduce the rpm - less noise, less fuel and less hassle!

You've seen the factory Wayne, the infrastructure a d sheer amount of stuff needed I the supply chain to turn out a chipper gives the base line cost to base the price on. With regards to the OP. Quite often, the roadside works (include rail and Utility tree work) produce too much brash and timber to leave in habitat piles. These piles are quite often a fire or other safety risk. They tried a number of different ways of leaving habitat piles on smaller projects on the M5 some 15years ago, they artistically laid brash in lines but again, these meant problems later as they could not mulch down quick enough for the mowing that the original programme promoted!

Dean got out of tree work some years ago. He is still contacted now and again and doing well in life.

Rental of large saw (and maybe operator) - Potters Bar
PeteB replied to Mike F's topic in General chat
Or buy my 880! -
He does a bit of social media and stuff - I did see the big Jensen on ebay.co.uk
-
Alan Oldfield is saying that he has a handful of Jensen tracked units for sale at bargain prices. Not sure if they are 540 or 530 units. He also has a big, site clearance/crane fed unit for close to £60k. Some of these are new or have a handful of hours only. Alan is on 01759 372552 or 07976 825420 and they are at Stamford Bridge, by York.

I just notified the Facebook group for GreenMech Owners just asking them to report any sightings to the Police.

Ash is setting up a network of worthy, recommended and suitably interested and qualified folk to service and repair machines in regions local to you whilst maintaining the good the good reputation that he and the rest of his team have built up in the last few years.
