Was going to suggest the same, hire a standard tipper of any size and agree a time frame with your supplier. Suggest that if they are late, they might like to cover the hire?

Same with any chipper, sharp blades are essential. Blade to anvil gap is crucial and a reasonable edge on the anvil matters too. You wouldn't use a blunt chainsaw, slipping clutch or knackered bar would you! Why skimp on chipper maintenence? Add to that, you are towing a fully loaded trailer with a chipper, dont skimp maintenence there too!

Asked never to return to that big hotel, The Harbour, The Harbour Inn asked that we behave in future and the Shipwrights escorted us from the place, The Harling Inn is another place i don't want to be recognised at and The Trevose Golf club flat was truly memorable too! Fun times at The Cornwall Show!

Few bits I keep in the garage for the hot rod.

Another GreenMech SafeTrac has been stolen off a railway site close to Aylesbury. Serial Number 170159 is a standard machine in GreenMech green. Dealers have been asked to keep a watchful eye open.

A worthy idea. OSB boards are cheap enough and would manage reasonably well!

Adam Readhead was the chap on Facebook, up in the North East.

She isn't worth a great deal, couple of grand maybe on a trade in? If you trade it in, it is a simple transaction- done and dusted. If you sell privately, you'll get a bit more but inevitably, selling her is going involve advertising, waiting for people coming to view, make daft offers, kick tyres etc and then you might be without a machine for a while until the new one arrives?

The 426 is available but never really took off in a 'mass market ' way. Swinging hammers on an open drum manner, definitely not a chipper.

Wonder how old they will be before they become viable in the arboriculture world?

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?
