If your taking the Clutch cover off,might as well treat it to a new Roller Bearing set.Or give it a light grease. When they go the saw is out of action and they don't cost much.
-
Could you fab up a box thats about the same size as the chipper you would like to mount?Bolt it to the Anbauplatte and see if its easy to drive around.Might be a semi easy way to see if the idea of a front mounted chipper suits you?

Thought that the backlash from this advert was simply stupid.Watch the video and decide for yourselves. http://www.3news.co.nz/Video/National/tabid/309/articleID/97919/Default.aspx#video

Its incredable that Goats get into Trees,but I've seen it back home a few times. I hate Goats.

All my Ramps are Alloy Dean. Steel Ramps are for Chavs:001_tongue:
-
Top idea Dean! I should really drill some holes through the ramps and in the deck to peg the ramps as I load.
-
Four meters are the ramps,yes getting it off on flat ground is pretty straining.

I recently ordered a set of blades from the UK,I was told that Jensen made 9 & 11mm thick blades for the 528.Best to check which thickness is right for your machine. I wonder if your blades broke because the thinner blades added to much gap between the knife and the Anvil?

pics of it

Didn't think the chipper would climb up the ramps onto the Mog,but it does! Took it to a School today,job starts tomorrow.
-
Who sells them please? The guy advertising them for sale on Earborist hasn't gotten back to me.
-
Very nice mate!

That Wheel on your bonnet has rust on the Rim Dean. Frankly I would have expected better of you.

I have seen many of these.Unless the Burls had grown to enormous size they generally did not contain any Rot.In the case of Rot being present,it was always in the Burl and not the stem of the Tree.I used to collect them from trees that we felled and sell them to a wood turner. I have never seen a Birch that failed at the point that the Burl had grown from.However thats just my experiance.

I went into a comunity liasion office back home to renew my Firearms licence,there was an old Dear sitting behind the desk. "I'd like the forms to renew my Firearms licence please" I asked "Oh no,you have to be a Fireman to drive a fire engine" she replied. I nearly wet myself laughing.

I would give my eye Teeth for one of those. We have a Merc 811D,great truck but a bit underpowered.One of those 4X4 mercs with the tracked chipper in the back...oohhh...ooohhh
-
Thanks for the kind offer mate!I will be coming up from London,so it would make sence to stop locally.Be great to catch up though,flights already booked.

Wrong I was too -
Bad news Ed. This isn't doing much at the moment,you could borrow it and it would cheer you right up!

At the risk of sounding Anal. Isn't it called a "Ripping" or "Breaking down saw"? They might have used it to Flitch or Break down big Logs into sizes that the normal headrig could handle. -
I spat on my fingers and tried to thaw out the connection but as my "equipment" was retracting into my Trou,I had to pull the Biner off. Needless to say,some skin came too.
-
I was taking a pee on an exceptionally cold day and froze a Caribiner to my Johnson. I still have the scar.
-
Phew! Your asking alot of your landy and winch! A cheap 4X4 tractor and winch on the linkage might save you a fair bit in repair bills Tommer.

What manufacture Diffs and transfer box did they have in them?I'm just curious as I have only seen one Transit 4X4.
