Quite a few times to be quite honest. Rebuilt them at night,robbed parts off someone's spare saw to keep my spare saw running etc. How many logging camps/ remote jobs have you worked on?
-
How would they measure a woodchipper's out put? Remove the Engine and run it on a dyno? I but those Kubota Engines are restricted at the injection pump,might be as simple as restricting the travel on the fuel rack or turning up the fuel delivery?
-
Unless you are logging/ in a remote area and rely on your saws . I like the 661,but I wouldnt want to fly into a camp even with a pair of them. They still produce MS660s for the African and South African markets.

Just get it compression and leak-down tested. That is the only real indicator of engine wear other than pulling it apart. Find out the compression for the engine when new and compare it to what the printout sayes from the car workshop. Car could have had its oil changed monthly but if it was red lined from cold up hills every day it won't have helped much.

Why the hate? Watch it or dont watch it.No need to get snarkey mate.

Could you have a look at a different organisational structure? For example five blokes,7.5 tonner with 9" chipper and a pickup.Everyone goes to the first job,when the end of that one is in sight,two guys go to the second job to make a start with you and the two blokes finnishing off.At the end of the day,two guys go to the dump with the chip and you tow the pickup back to base with chipper and gear with the rest of the gang. That way you have good oversight on the whole job,there is help on hand if needed and you dont have two different vehicles going to different directions.

Maximum possible reduction of large Oak
Mike Hill replied to George01's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Should be more pointy at the top,helps the water run off it. Plus it looks more like a tree.

Oil pump with attached sprocket mate

But you would need planning permission for a permanent site. You can't just turn any field into a permanent year round camp site can you? *laughs in Gypsy*

I have one It's is an N-101,I havnt pulled a trailer with it but over the last 3 years it's been pretty reliable. I do mainly domestic work and has been said it's very maneuverable . @Tom D He has alot more hours on his .

Bicycle inner tube works very well.

There certainly will be an oil pump available somewhere. Just not through the usual channels. The sprocket that drives the pump is plastic,it becomes brittle with age and breaks at the pump. Or the pump seizes and shears the sprocket off.

I used one falling in NZ and Canada,I have one over here falling and milling I used to mill with a 48" Bar on it,pulled it no worries as you would expect. I seem to remember the 084 being slightly less expensive than a 088 back in the day,It might have also been a bit lighter? As has been said,parts are a problem. Mine is under the bench due to a seized oil pump,some parts on some production years interchange with an 088 and some do not sadly.

In the spirit of diversity, I think Paul's generous offer deserves a mention too.

Are you volunteering to seduce the Boss? That's certainly very kind of you,not to mention quite pioneering in terms of breaking down stereotypes. Remember you PPE Paul!
-
I think you should seduce him in revenge. "Eye for an eye" and all...

They will brush up lovely next spring,when the new roots find the sugar in the soil. "Need a lift to the cash machine darling?" -
Great flooring Great framing timber It's one of the biggest timber products in the Pacific Northwest. Pretty much everything is framed in "Hemi" on the West Coast.

I am sorry if this is really vague, but I was told that if there is a emblem on the face of the final drive that resembles a Citroen emblem,then it's an Italian final drive. Either way its going to have to come out to see if the Sun gear is damaged so doing that will make it easier to match.

I wonder how the Reverend Thompson would be feeling if the Axis had won? Oh that's right,he would be dead or enslaved. Small detail I suppose,carry on Reverend.

It might be a catalyst for other people to start posting pictures and things again.

What do you hope to achieve with your viewpoint Paddy? Do you expect to win everyone over and they just throw their hands up and type "Paddy you were right all along?" I am genuinely curious.
-
Sure Khris. Could you please take a month off Arbtalk to concentrate on your contracts and projects. Be sure to post pictures in a month. Good lad.

There you go again Khris,you are genuinely to dim to see how stupid you make yourself look. What witty retort with the very vaguest of relevance awaits us in your reply this time? *sharply draws in breath*
