    I've been wondering about getting a cone splitter that fits onto a crane rotator. Are they any good? How much force will a 3T rotator have? Would a larger rotator be better? Its a cheap way of reducing timber down, if it works.

    I personally don't see unnecessarily wasting money on "magic bean" fuel as very smart, but as I say thats just my opinion.

    Is that simply down to ethanol or does crap chinese manufacture play a part Why does is my 1994 honda quad run without issue, it's only ever seen standard pump fuel and often stands for months without use.

    Better still, do both

    There should really be "red petrol" the government must get a HUGE amount of duty on fuel used for lawnmower, off road bikes, boats, generators, etc, etc, etc. Its not simply two stokes, many, many none road going machines use neat petrol. I don't see how they could ever exempt aspen without allowing other oil Co's from also offering a none road fuel, be that pre mix or not.

    You need to start working harder

    Is that even legal? and has it been tested in court?, "not fit for purpose" springs to mind. Does the operators manual stipulate that pump fuel cannot be used? I have several honda engines, all of which have only ever seen pump fuel (one a 1994 quad) they all run without issue and virtually no servicing.

    There is no irony, as we pay road fuel duty on standard fuel, so if it was cut for Aspen ,they would have to offer standard petrol for none road use also without duty, so the price difference would remain.

    I get years out of my saws, many, many years and even if aspen extended there lives the extra cost of the fuel would be greater that the reduced cost in replacement saws. Plus new saws are more fun than expensive fuel It just don't add up, IMO, plus I simply could not be arsed with buying my fuel in from one supplier, plus the storage, etc, etc. You baulk at the thoughts of filtering fuel, but are happy to jump through the hoops of buying from once source and storing highly flammable liquid. Have you had to increase your insurance cover? or do they simply not know?

    Another indecipherable thread with the same pictures of a crapy Willow. Is there a reason this nonsense cannot be confined to one thread?
  12. skyhuck
    Indeed, but I'm not trying to push sales on the strength of my post, simply stating what I've been told As I say I have never encountered a problem that requires the solution that Aspen claims to offer.

    Do any of the equipment manufacturers void their warranty if pump fuel is used?
  14. skyhuck
    So you don't actually know?

    I'm always happy to help

    So buy the higher grade, or you can actually filter out the ethanol if you wish, some of the vintage car boys do.
  18. skyhuck
    Yes, buts but that generally on tick over and I think they have some level of vacuum assistance.
  19. skyhuck
    In 25 years of cutting "fumes" have never been an issue. These days I tend to use the higher grade fuel, that apparently does not contain ethanal, as this is said to be better for the gear. But again in all my years in the game I've never had a machine problem caused by fuel, my 66 is a 1999 and still going strong. I just don't get the problem that Aspen is trying to solve. The whole thing just smells of "the emperors new clothes" to me. But of cause this is only my opinion.

    There will be air bricks in the wall below floor level, so the air is from outside. Once a carpet is fitted the floor will be pretty well sealed.

    A lot of mains water comes from boreholes What was it you said earlier

    I've used them for 25years and never cut myself. At least they don't cut deep or remove flesh, so the wound can be closed cleanly, a saw will make a hell of a lot more mess, IMO.
