  1. This is for banks to lend you £200k,they only need £20 liquidity. That £180k of imaginary money is earning them 6% which is £10800 per annum . Two years along that's their risk covered and the rest is their profit. Ker-ching
  2. You have probably drained the tank and cleaned the filters,there might be an inline filter someone has put in somewhere stupid and its sucking air from a split in the line or its full of water. Pull the fuel lines off it,put new ones on because you might have a intermitant pinch in the lines,fuel starvation or air getting in can cause the same problem you have. Put a electric lift pump on it.The lift pump on Kubota's can be problematic, decent electric lift pumps are cheap. Kubota is a solid brand but their starter motors and lift pumps are not the best.
  3. Take possession of goods to the value of the debt. I have done this twice and it worked out. Cops wernt interested because it is a civil matter. Just don't hide the kit somewhere they can find it and don't use it until they pay up.
  4. Felling some tall spruce on a steep hillside. Made worse by them leaning uphill. I had to fell the trunks full length and deal with them sliding back at me by fleeing full speed in terror.
  5. Hamas HQ is under the hospital,they have cells there where they torture captives . All collateral damage is propaganda to Hamas the leaders of which are likely in the south now anyhow. There is some truly disturbing footage and reports out there on what Hamas did during their latest terror attack. Personally I hope Israel turn the Gaza strip into a giant car park.As does the rest of the civilised world who live without their heads up their arses.
  6. Do you work in a factory now J? Did you sell your forwarder in the end? Hardly any Swedes want to work in the sticks,there just isn't any life or opportunity there.
  7. Finnish price ,final sale price.
  8. There are many beautiful properties in Sweden,it can be difficult to determine how much exactly they sell for though. They seldom publish the sale price. Sounds like you have the perfect job to make the most of the cheap places to live Steven.
  9. Here are the same size house's 30km from Stockholm Central. Bostäder till salu - Sverige - Hemnet WWW.HEMNET.SE Bostäder till salu på Hemnet i Sverige. Your looking at about a million quid. After about an hours drive in any direction from Stockholm it starts looking like a David Lynch film.
  10. Sweden boasts not one but two monthly tractor publications! My mate grew up about an hour south east of Hamstad. In his area farmers were leasing cabins for 1kr per year because no-one was holidaying in them anymore. You had to visit them " X" number of times per year but its just not popular anymore.
  11. But that's in the middle of knowhere J,with few job prospects. Houses are cheap where you live for that very reason. List up a house 30km from Stockholm.
  12. Maybe But they were already in the Med anyhow and a carrier is a huge munitions resource if the Yids need more bombs and bullets parts etc. Plus it's a warning to Iran not to get too rowdy. Honestly the gulf states would welcome the Gaza strip getting turned into a giant car park.
  13. In stark contrast to Joe's slog. Mature Elm hanging over a reception and sea lion enclosure, down and gone in under 2.5 hours. Used maybe half a tank of fuel in each of the saws.
  14. Two of the best old growth fallers I ever worked with smoked weed.At work. One of them had a great voice and would belt out country and western classics all day.He could lay out a strip like a giant had combed all the trees over,he must have been in his early 60s. The other was a Vietnam veteran,who was incredibly tough.
  15. How far from the hedge is the tree? £8-12 k would be nice.
  16. Thing is it all depends on what spec was agreed with the client. Maybe they are going to leave it all onsite? There are a couple of blokes in my town who are happy with £400 a day for the both as long as they keep the wood.They have good jobs in the oil industry and like something to do on their month off. They work trees for a week or two,split and stack for a week and probably make an extra 25k per annum enjoying themselves.
  17. TBH from the picture that looks ok to rigg off... Its your job though mate,do it the way you feel happiest.
  18. I used to knacker about two boards a year in this gopping climate. In the end I just converted the machine to manual control,now I don't have any problems with it.
  19. Have you considered buying them both and gluing them together? Then when you ran one out of petrol you could flip it over and be straight back into the game? 500 is an OK saw,I like the antivibes. But a bit over hyped performance wise IMHO.
  20. That box is cracked at the top r/h corner. There is a lip there that fits into the gasket on the box cover. Treat it to a new box,if you have the choice get one with a clear cover ,that way you can see if condensation is building up in there.
  21. Those wires you are holding look like wires to the switch on the bonnet that should prevent it from starting with the bonnet up. Anyhow if there was water in the box with the circuit board then it's fair to say that's where your problem is. My advice is to buy a new one and not bother with a reconditioned unit. You will have to learn the board but that's a 2 minute job. Keep an eye on the circuit board box for condensation, it doesn't take much water to goose them.
  22. Yes it will. I guess it depends on what you term old? My 530T is from 2007 and my 528 was 2002. The circuit board was the same between the two so was the wiring sequences on the boards themselves. Same on my big Jensen tow behind as well.
  23. Yes Simply run a wire from a wire in the ignition to the solenoid,put a fusible link in there and earth the negative terminal on the solenoid to the chipper . You can bypass the reset buttons by bridging some contacts on the circuit board. I can't remember what I did off hand but I have a picture of it.Simply a wire joining one contact to another.
  24. You seem very confused to the point of amnesia. Having been that your favourite derogatory term for anyone on here who disagrees with you involves sexual humiliation. I am still fascinated by where you see yourself in relation to your use of the term " cuck" .
  25. It's probably the circuit board. But check.That you have a steady orange light on the circuit board when the chipper is running full chat. If not check the gap between the sensor and the flywheel,should be a width of pound coin. If so or not try resetting the speed sensor buy removing the cover on the circuit board and running chipper full chat,then pressing the first and last buttons simultaneously until the red light flashes,then reduce the revs 30% and press the first and middle buttons simultaneously until the light flashes again. If still no luck check wires to feed roller solenoid when running you should have 12v at the solenoid. You could have a bad solenoid, but they'd tend to last and are cheap. Take the circuit board off and check the back of it for visual faults,the boards do get old or water damaged. Good luck
