Yellow jackets excellent! Easy to change as nuts do not wear like green teeth! My local saw doctor also sharpens them so 4 bites of same cherry! If you have been using Rayco super tooth you might have to use a 3 mm spacer on the straight cutters if you have a Rayco machine. Any problems give me a shout!

I'm a skidsteer man! Having had them for years. Avants when they were introduced have always been something to dream about along with the prices! Multione is the Italian copy! ( I think) In practical terms skidsteers have been around for longer so there are generally more tools available at more realistic prices. Skidsteers tend to be a bit more tolerant to multi users not having quite so much plastic trim. An added advantage is if the going gets tough you can put over the tyres tracks on. Try that on a Avant or Miltione!

With lpa not having any money, and being frightened to spend it, cut the thing down! You might get your fingers wrapped but unless it's high profile lpa are not looking for confrontation! This may not be the right attitude but lpa's need to have a coherent policy across the country! I have seen many a fine tree felled because the lpa can't get to the tree in time through lack of resources or are frightened of the expensive consequences!

Now this is a can of worms! We pay insurance for the full replacement value ( less we are underinsured) The item disappears we make a claim less excess. But when loss adjuster appears and states he can get new assets from...... cheaper they expect you to buy from their suppliers. My gripe is if it's full value insurance then it's full value replacement. I've had this happen with chainsaws as they wanted to use a firm 200 miles from me! My counter is when any warranty is required I will expect the loss adjuster to collect and deliver from their chosen supplier. They changed their mind! We are the client never forget!

I have tried and used Finger, super, green, pro teeth on various machines over the years! I use yellow jackets as I can undo them with a spanner in the field! Therefore less hassle in the field and more production. And they are re-sharpenable.

Won't be long before we go back to wood powered steam driven wood chippers!

Dog poo! Customer has a dog, we ask if they have pre cleared their garden ? Yes they say ! What they mean is "It doesn't bother them why should it bother us" Grrr
-
Tmberwolf 230 it's an 8" chipper for the price of a 6"! It's a no brainer. I've had one for 2 years excellent!!

I have never needed to weld any thing on! Remove the hydraulic motor, undo bearing carrier, get a bar approx tight fit into splines and give it a good stir!!! Usually this will do the job. It does depend on what type of bearing (s) you have on your bottom roller!

I have run Defenders all my tree surgery life. I'm selling my 130 Special Vehicle Tipper on eBay item number 232130467818. I have 2 other defendants both 110 rated at 3.500kgs as I have up rated them. A lot of my work has been off road! But the towing capacity has always been an attraction. I can carry as much as a transit but get out with 4x4 so I highly recommend defenders. Easy to fix and they hold their money. They are 3 seater single cab tippers. And parts are generally off the shelf.

Maybe it was too thin? The oil you found. Try checking the specs before refilling.

New caps usually sort the problem out! The fuel seems to cause some degradation to the fuel cap, I'm not sure why perhaps Mr Stihl has the answer?

Anyone been called out on storm damage tonight

Yes just come in ! -
You might look at Wolf loppers. We have had a couple of pairs for 20 years! Nice and easy to use, and relatively cheap. Try Briants of Risborough 01844343663 or .co.uk

I have a Kanga kid, I'm looking for a Muck Grab for it. Has anyone got one for sale? In need of repair considered. They are rather expensive new!!!

I've been running Skid Steers for some years now. Belle are lovely but no longer made. Bobcat let me down badly with poor reliability. I have a Case 420 H/Flow now, this has been rock solid and very reliable. It will rip your yard up. But will travel in a trailer behind you (mine does). It will be something you will want to take to lots of jobs because it makes life easier. You can get, over the tyre tracks like mine. I don't think you will regret it. You could try Warwick Ward 01226 747260 they're a big dealer who are very helpful. Any further questions ping it over I'll help if I can😊
-
That was neatly worked out! You are quite right head in Landy and Case 420 High Flow on trailer. The case is such a useful piece of kit. Power unit for splitting logs, auger 2ft, muck & log grab, moving mud( lots of that here!) snow plough,(none here) pallet forks, ripping stumps etc!
-
I have one also. http://www.robinsonstrees.co.uk see this all fits behind a Landrover! And is legal !

We are looking for a climber to start as soon as possible. Tops rates for the right person having a full driving license essential

I've been using a long wheel base Fiat Doblo 1.6 diesel for 3 years (now rebadged as a Vauxhall) good van , good mileage. 1300 kilo towing capacity. Generally a good all round oh! and 21k service intervals. Better mpg than a Landrover too!

I got an MS261 the other day and it ran like a bag of sh-t. I rang Stihl to complain and was told to start it on choke and leave it running on choke for approx 90seconds then turn it off. Apparently this the way to reset the carb. The M-Tronics will run on choke unlike manual adjust saws. I hope this is useful info to all you budding tinkerers!! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Thanks very much. It's a little clearer! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

According to Stihl it's the sound pressure that is harmful. I must admit I do not understand all the technicalities can anyone point me in a plain English direction? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
