The rollers are controlled by the 12V solenoid on the valve block. There is a 12v constant supply when the rpm is over the set amount. Two wires run from the solenoid to the circuit board,these steer the solenoid by cutting the power and stopping the rollers when the rpm drops below a set amount. The rpm is counted by the sensor picking up the spokes of the pulley,the gap between the end of the sensor and a spoke should be about the width of a pound coin. To check sensor function turn the ignition to on,have someone rotate the pulley past the sensor and observe the light on the circuit board illuminate when a spoke passes it,then blink off. Check continuity in the wires running back to the control box. You say that after an hour the problem starts,could be the solenoid but they are generally very reliable. Failing that,remove the circuit board for a look at the back of it. Look for burnt spots or even slight discolouration . Post up a picture of the circuit board,make sure you take a picture of what order the wires go.

Anyone three degrees east of Magnetic North is " far right" these days.

You sound exactly the kind of tyre kicker who is quickly blocked by sellers over a myriad of sales platforms. How often does your strategy play out in your favour?

No But for lowering that setup looks pants,

I think the price is fair honestly. Guess the market will decide?

Plug the screw holes and put the rack on Ebay? I have a mate who gets warped planks from me,cuts holes for tea lights,sands and oils them and puts them in a designer furniture shop for £350! Unique,sustainable, locally sourced etc

Once I was on a job taking down some dead cottonwoods at a fishing camp in Alaska. They were huge and dead,no bark and hollow,proper "Ghost Tree's". Anyhow,one of them had what was left of its crown over some buildings, we couldn't lower them off and the gear we had was limited to what we could fit in the sea plane we flew out in. I tied my climbing line as high as I could,the lowering rope was attached to the end of that and tied to the davitts on a jet boat in the river. I put my gob in as the boat did its best to stay still holding the line taught cringing at the sight of a cavity where the gob was,I had just started the back cut when Billy bob gave that 454 Big block half a gallon of freedom fluid and the top 40 feet flew into the willows like a giant dart. On those trees you could feel bits hitting the ground inside the tree as they fell down the hollow trunk. Follow me for more safe work practices.

Looks like a disaster waiting to happen honestly. Either by falling off your harness and smashing something/someone or by going through the chipper.

Khris once pull started a Chinook

Soooo...that's a no then. You are a hysterical nimby.

Have you seen any of this happening with your own eyes? The mass human caused extinction I mean.

It's more akin to the Gestapo getting let off providing they learn Hebrew.

Looks rotten as fook. It's a tree gents,when people get teary at my Felling old sticks, I ask them if they would accept personal liability for any damages if we retained it? Ps,It was Bolam & his groundy Ezrah , a famous deep water Jew.

Different strokes for different folks. .22 Hornet is as quiet as anything if moderated ,very cheap to reload for and bloody accurate. You cant really compare it to a 223,that would be like comparing a mini cooper to a Ford Mustang. If you want somthing even more obscure,try a 218 Bee or 219 Donaldson wasp. I had a .218 in a Martini Cadet action,cool little gun.I had it chambered in .218 because it was originally .222 rimmed and it ran out of barrel threads after cutting the chamber off. If you reload ,then you may as well get something fun. Brass lasts for ever and everthing else is the same as .22 hornet.
