    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.

    TBH from the picture that looks ok to rigg off... Its your job though mate,do it the way you feel happiest.

    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.
  4. Mike Hill
    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.

    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.

    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.
  7. Mike Hill
    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.

    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.

    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" .
  10. Mike Hill
    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

    Its curious to me your pre-occupation with the word "Cuck",its meaning as well as how you see yourself and your role on here. Do you feel as though you are a Alpha male preaching the truth via your news links,truths that we "cucks",as you term us ,cannot see?

    What about a tree made from Steel? Like the Angel of the North? It could have lights shining on it that changed colour to support whatever cause was fashionable that month. Rainbow,pink,etc.
  13. Mike Hill
    Do in a cuckhold,do you imagine yourself as the wife,cuck or third party? Who are your other dream participants? Do you imagine other arbtalkers filling * cough* the other two roles?
  14. Mike Hill
    Why do you think we are cucks? Are you for or against?

    It's amazing that the fuzz puts so much effort into one tree,yet are too busy to dna test the crime scene of thousands of kit thefts.

    I gave little experience with Finance,but I couldn't uplift the gear until I had the paperwork. Which arrived promptly after they received the deposit.

    What inspiring music would you put to the planting act itself? Bear in mind the complexity of the theme plus the harsh location.It become quite a lot to deal with. "Last Christmas " by George Michael might fit somewhat?.

    Was that the one that despite being to rotten to stand, was able to be section felled? Something is not quite right there.
  19. Mike Hill
    Who felled it?

    It's nice that the Scotish have provided their youngsters with a place to pursue their national pass time in peace.

    And not a black Penis amongst them. Nordic Biker War - Wikipedia EN.M.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

    It's not the fault of the immigrants, the root cause is Swedens appetite for narcotics. The two leaders of the waring gangs don't even live in Sweden. Before this shiteshow it was the "Nordic Biker wars". As bad as it might be now, its not as heavy duty as shooting at each other with AT rockets which used to happen then. Time they did the sensible thing and legalised drugs.

    Sometimes chanterelle look just like that in bunches amongst hundreds of them. I never thought them to be a mutant as I eat them anyhow.

    Sounds like its either running out of fuel or spark. Take some pictures of the fuel rail and where the spark plug leads all come together at the ECM (Engine control module) somewhere on that machine there will be a plug for the engine diognostic tool to plug into,take a picture of that because maybe you can use an adaptor to use a tool from a car in order to find out some basic info like fuel pressure. Failing that take it to a motorbike shop because thats as close to a two cylinder efi engine specialist as your going to get. You still got that old Merc?
