  1. Yes. isasacp has already associated me with small minded people and now your including me in a white male dominated sport! As one of if not Arbtalks smallest racial minority, words cannot express how outraged I feel. A donation to : 0121 WOKECRYBABY might go some way in healing the deep racial wounds your assumption has caused.
  2. I am a member of a Pacific ethnic group and I stand by for your apology. Not only have you associated my race with criminals you have appropriated my culture. I expect a donation of at lease £100,call me on 0210 WOKECRYBAY
  3. I think most of the chippers stay in the UK. What are the chances of a chipper stolen in Manchester being clocked by coincidence in Cornwall? I had a chipper nicked in 2008, last year in the paper was a picture of the Police investigating a sceen where someone had been found dead. There in the carport was my old chipper! I recognised it immeadiatly because I changed the location of the rear lights and the reset buttons were different colours. The farm wasnt 20 mile from where it got nicked.
  4. No I just use the stuff they run moped's on. Don't over think this,its still a simple engine any difference in performance is going to be negligible. Stihl won't have its own factory refining Oil,it will just choose from a list of spec's. Just don't use oil for outboard motors.
  5. I run mine on either alkylate fuel or just regular mix. Can't say I notice any difference in performance. Had the saw about a year.
  6. @David farmer Here is a link to the manual CHIPPER CH 260 - Farmi Wood Chippers - hardware DOCZZ.NET CHIPPER CH 260 - Farmi Wood Chippers
  7. You dont or shouldnt need new anvils. Open it up tomorrow, all you need are two 19mm spanners and check your anvils. They have a hell of alot of travel.
  8. Do you have the manual? Its available online and will answer all your questions. Your blades need a sharpen When they are sharp move both counter knives to within 1 mm of the blades. You can alter the infeed speed using a knob on the valve block. CH260s and pretty much all Farmi chippers are designed to turn clean trunks into chip for further sale. They are not really or ideal for chipping brush.
  9. There is no such thing as a half day, unless the work comes to you. It sounds like you have already been told that no one is prepared to work on your terms. Either pay the going rate or dispose of the material yourself. A packet of matches is quite cheap. You might even be able to purchase half a packet.
  10. I would send a registered letter again and call her the day you see its been received. Then knock on the door 0900 on Sunday.You are not being rude or unsympathetic, quite the opposite since you are driving 4 hours round trip at your expense.
  11. This is a hard one. If its not too far away just go and knock on the door after sending another registered letter. If you wait too long you run the risk of loosing your property. I have had a client pass away after doing work for them. I was finally paid but it was a struggle.Likewise I lent an expensive instument to a man who died and I lost the item because the family just got a house clearance company to clear out his workshop. I was keeping " a respectfull distance".
  12. Get hold of some nasty German/Russian brown Coal and fire it up.
  13. Thats a oven for Coke. Its not the best choice for a yurt,but it will work with wood. Your going to have to run it flat out for a while in order to heat it up. Koksoven in Norwegian
  14. London Its not for Kunts (See what I did there Khris)
  15. I have a Valtra N-101 with 3500 hours on it. They are now selling for more than I paid 4 years back. Crazy.
  16. Thankfully its not too bad in this case. The two bolts closest to the chassis rail have broken only 5mm subsurface.I should be able to extract the bolts without having to pull the gearbox. Aparently not preloading the flange into the tourgue ball is a cause of this.
  17. Up to my armpits in broken tourque tube bolts.
  18. Do you think the indigenous people were conservationists? Or just lacking the means to pillage on an industrial scale?
  19. And paying for all the Scots on the Dole.
  20. Only if it came to England before America was discovered.
  21. 3 decent Cod in the Gill net. Some other fish too but they got biffed back in.
