    Back in 2000 I knew a girl who went onto work for the UN. She ended up being involved in de-mining projects in Africa.She was put in charge of purchasing some heavy equipment and didnt know a bulldozer from a low loader.Once she seriously asked me if I knew where she might source 12 Komatsu Dozers from in the UK because she felt that the price given by the usual supplier was "a bit high". The price was $200,000 USD per unit for used D61's.The same tractor could be bought in the states for about $40K. I asked her how they planned to move them from the port in Mosambik to the area's they were needed . "Oh I dont know,I guess they will drive them".

    Electric winch for me. 5000lb Warn on a Jensen 530. If you tip the chipper on its side,a hydraulic winch is no help.

    It may have been an initiation ritual that was lost on him because of his white privilage? He might have been expected to steal all their dogs and flyer their caravans in return in order to display his acceptance.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Have you considered calling the finest London gunmakers in order to sell that Walnut?

    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.

    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.

    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.
  18. Mike Hill
    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.

    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.

    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.
  21. Mike Hill
    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".

    Get hold of some nasty German/Russian brown Coal and fire it up.
  23. Mike Hill
