Can I have a new chipper from government funds ?

They certainly look the part Martin

That should read: Let me know how you get on in mud with those tyres ROB Sorry for confusing you Tom

Let me know how you get on in mud with those tyres tom, I'm thinking of re-shodding mine with a full set of those

You'd have been proud of one I did today Stevo

If I'm doing reduction work I normally wear some soft soled mammut walking boots but on a couple of occasions I have ended up wearing them for a couple of reductions, one sycamore and one silver birch and both badly damaged in tight forks. There's no give in the sole at all.......however, I love them for connie bashing

They are terrible for bark damage

Mick...that welding looks like a birds crapped all over it. But not bad for a beginner mate and it will do the job

I've had mine hired out 6 times in a fortnight Simon and used it a few times myself. Out of those nine jobs there were two that require tracked mewp access and the others I could have got a truck mount to them. There are however many many examples of when only a tracked mewp could get in and only then with a skilled operator Tracked can be used whatever the situation, truck mount cant

Not neccessarily bone dry Tony, if the house is on clay soil it will be damp or saturated soil under the house too

Haha I can actually reach 70ft outside the canopy and can put on another 15 stone before I have to be careful about my weight
-
6ft 1" and 15 stone dead and I can more often than not get outside the canopy and do it often to get an idea of the shape when reducing, also not bad for 46 When reducing I dont wear chainsaw boots, I wear Mammut walking boots with a soft sole, much more feel and less damage to the cambium

Going off on a tangent slightly, but is it Tordon you can use to control weeds over grass and it will leave the grass unharmed ? I have 2 gallon of the stuff and have a good use for it if it doesn't harm grass

It is still a very good chipper Tom These problems are silly niggles that, for a manufacturer, are easy to solve. Infact I'd go as far as to say it is even easy to solve if you have a very basic knowledge of engineering. Why bandit haven't solved them I dont know.. There again.... Why haven't Timberwolf solved the problem of their chippers not having a letterbox opening yet.... all makes have their faults

The problem I think, is the size or depth of the teeth on the rollers. They are quite high so big lumps of deadwood drop inbetween the teeth and are carried round the roller till they jam on the housing. Most of the time the power of the roller just shears the wood but the energy or horsepower lost must be a lot
