Well done. ?
-
Hi, I'm not very good with machinery electrics but have run both older versions of the 160, the 125 and the entec 150. When I have had similar problems it has been the relay (car style one). One occasion it was the roller engagement switch. Another thing on some of the older chippers is the throttle needs to be flat out to run the rollers. I had a bungee on the entec to stop it creeping back and the rollers stopping. It worked a treat. Good luck and let us know how you get on ?
-
I left after taking the tape off, I think another can would have been about right, all that prep work to run out of paint ?
-
With masking tape still over warning signs, took them off shortly after. The patch around the spare wheel is the worst and the vertical part behind the engine ?
-
So I put my top coat on today, the orange ral 2004 that timberwolf recommend is terrible against my 6 year old paint and after applying 2 cans - 4 coats ( to just the engine and fan section) I ran out of paint. I'm gutted it looks awful, although the paint seems quite good. Should I let it dry and start all over again, rub down undercoat and respray with more cans this time? ?
-
Thanks, going to start it soon, I'm only spraying the orange at the mo, appreciate the tips ?
-
Thank you, it's non iso 2pack so no more dangerous than any normal spray apparently
-
Thanks for the advice, I'm not too bad at light spraying it's the fact that it's 2pack non iso that was worrying me with the hardening etc
-
Perhaps the theives are going to return it after discovering electrical problems ? Hopefully the rightful owner will be reunited ?
-
With all the spare time on my hands at the moment I thought I would touch up the chipper (paint I mean, I'm not that fond of it!). Well it was a lot worse that I thought, classic tw125 seams rusted etc and so far I have rubbed down and primed the engine and fan housing. The spray shop I ordered my top coat from recommended non iso 2k paint as harder wearing and better around fuel etc so I went for it. I have very little experience in this field and Google gives mixed reviews and ideas. Has anybody got experience with these type of aerosols? Am I best to do 3-4 light coats 30mins apart or closer while paint is still tacky? Some of the stories suggest if you don't get it right it doesn't harden properly. Also any idea how long to leave until I use the machine again. Thanks in advance

Another vote for uni power, I do remember having to wait weeks for a valve stem for an older Kohler command engine

I can't recommend scag enough, we currently run about 7 of them and they produce an excellent finish and are generally very reliable providing they are well maintained Yes, I have a rotary and a flail, both 48inch walk behind, the rotary makes a beautiful job of both rough and amenity grass and the blades are thick and great for mulching. The flail is very useful for chopping up hedge cuttings in areas where you don't have to be too fussy. Service them every year and never any problems ?
-
If you can get hold of a scag 48 they are so well built, better than anything in the UK by far. The rotary deck can be changed for a flail also which is very useful. I wouldn't buy anything else ?

Running bowline on dismantles, descend on single line if needed, a wrapped cam saver works if you keep a bit of weight in it. I borrowed a multisaver on one large pole one day, was handy and could see advantages, pretty cheap and could pop back up stem after lunch. If you're descending a single line on a friction hitch don't forget to put a munter in a crab on your harness or fig 8 ? -
Yeah that's why I asked, 48 is the biggest I have ever used 84" must be huge. Very handy to mill big stuff with poor access I bet ?
-
84" that's huge!! Do you take it surfing at the weekend?!! Seriously though is it purely for milling? It must flex a lot....must have to use a smaller bar to start cut if felling surely? Have you ever felled anything that needed it? ?
-
I would say that this is probably correct but there's one area where I work regularly and the tpo map still shows trees that were removed 25 years ago and a conservation area was enlarged and not put on the map straight away
-
I don't think you can beat the steel wedges, heavy and make you more careful when cutting but brilliant. I have a high lift steel my grandfather gave me when I first started, still take it on every felling job. Have a few Oregon plastic for smaller fells and have 3 unused Stihl hilifts that I bought last year. I was advised by someone much wiser than me to put two rings on the end, helps stop the splitting. I heated them up in an old kettle and banged them on ?

Anyone but the wife after the last week ? I'm really not fussy.....but Laura Hamilton Susanna Reid Emma Stone -
Seen people advertising the holzforma, ready built apparently you can put genuine Stihl/ husq parts in place or carb, coil etc and they ain't too bad, but then you'd spend more and would be less hassle to buy genuine and new anyway....unless you wanted an 076 ?
-
Have used a 2511, on a couple of occasions, would be great for reductions and cuts of 4-5inch, for mainly takedowns and the odd reduction the 360 would be best

Ignition coil?
