I confess I'm not enjoying perusing the internet looking at then enquiring after machines. Available mewps in my price range are spread far and wide, Italy, Germany, low countries with very few in France. Does anyone have experience of the Easy Lift 18 and 19 models? I was wondering about the differences other than a mere metre. Also, what length plant trailer would be best? Cheers Stuart

Thank you, I appreciate the thought. I had a look at the spec just now. Being so new I think the customs charges might largely offset any gain in buying used. (Not made in the U.K so subject to probably 10% or more customs + transport fees) Also, it is one thing bringing over a 12k chipper then suffering a myriad of irritating defects but quite another to throw a significantly larger sum at almost new kit without the reassurance of technical backup and warranty. I'll not be able to just go out and buy another if it goes properly wrong. The last thing I'd want to then do is air my grief on Arbtalk and suffer the back lash... So we are looking at new or nearly new closer to home. This is driven by the desire to reduce our dependancy on capricious, often unreliable subby climbers whilst keeping me 'in the game' for along as possible without ruining my body.

I have just recieved a quote for one. 93k euros plus tva (vat) with tracks, 3 speeds and large pads for feet. 9500 for a dedicated trailer. 5600 for radio control though I don't know how usefull that is.

Light weight trailer for tracked MEWP
Ty Korrigan replied to Ty Korrigan's topic in Cranes and Mewps
Thanks. Gorgeous and €10k! Is that a with vat or without price? Stuart -
I have seen a 2011 Hinowa 2312 for sale with 625 hours but it weighs 3010kg Are there are any suitable trailers under 500kg? Cheers Stuart

Perhaps if people had more room behind their sheds, we could leave more brash. A Gypsy Tree King tried and trusted method.

Yeh, what is up with a sheet or robust paper bag...? Or even a old 12" Bandit...?

That Jo-Beau Gorilla just needs an expanding (widening) infeed chute to become a game changer.

I froze at that point...

I know over 500kg requires registration and insurance so must conform to official standards as a vehicule but under, no reg and covered by car insurance. Before Brexit, many chippers including GM and Bandit were removed from the original axles and installed on axles that conformed to French norms 'NF' like the UK 'CE' mark.

What do you think a set of unbraked might cost? I have a generic 22t splitter I lend out to clients and tow behind the car. I do worry about the bearings but keep to under 70kph The local engineering shop could sort that out for me.

TBH, my last purchase of 1/4 1.1mm chain is from Rob. It is just that I feel the Panther chains are not quite as smooth from new as the Stihl or Oregon. I tried a new chain on a subbies 150 and two of my colleagues think the same after trying my Echo/Panther chain set up. Shit, it is subtle but I thought I'd ask anyway. Not a game changing difference nor a deal breaker. Stuart

Hello, I'm running two Echo 2511, one has the standard 1.3mm the other 1.1mm Panther chain. I'd like to re-order some chains but either Oregon micro-lite or Stihl micro-picco. Are there any stores that make these chains up off the roll? I need 68 links which is a none standard size. Cheers Stuart

Not sure about the colour... (Walks around it kicking the tracks) I'll need to see if Bear Valley do a T'shirt that co-ordinates first...

Laurel – Love the smell, but is it really bad for you?
Ty Korrigan replied to John Hancock's topic in General chat
Searching the subject and found this 2010 thread. Currently having an online discussion/dispute on a gardening page about this subject. A 74 year old man felt sick after cutting a laurel hedge and his wife believes he was poisoned by the laurel. I caused uproar by suggesting it was nothing more than a combination of old age, sun, heat, fatigue and 2 stroke fumes. I've never personally felt any ill effects from cutting or chipping laurel that itself couldn't be attributed to the effort demanded by the job. Stuart -
At 180 hours over 5 years I need to replace the springs again. Has any-one else found this or is it just another thing unique to me? I assume the clutch is generic and is used on a variety of machines. The springs are larger than chainsaw clutch one and 14 euros each so although individually expensive, still really nothing in the greater scheme of things. Stuart

I share that feeling with you though it's a different flavour machine.

On Arbtalk FB, the Gypsy Tree King (Shane Smith) was quite insistent that his subjects don't steal and that he has helped return many a stolen chipper to it's owner which rather conradicts his claim that gypsies don't steal...

The Bluetooth is just for updating the software. They don't use it between units.
-
I bought 3 units as I was tired of shouting over machinery noise and throwing pine cones at the climber to attract his attention. They only ever worked once as a set. One, the sound kept cutting in and out on it's second outing, so Freeworker support in Germany suggested updating the software. I've downloaded the app, tried updating, now the app is bugging (see images) and won't let me past these messages into the app itself. I removed the app then downloaded it again to no avail. I cannot get more than two to connect at one time. I might just send them all back tbh and stick to throwing pine cones. Anyone had similar experience?

I have seen the work of an arborist who once having cut off the mistletoe, then wrapped and taped the area in tough black plastic in an effort to prevent regeneration. I might give it a wang myself next time though only if I can reach it easily enough. Most of the balls we cut from poplars are a metre across and very disagreable to feed into a chipper.
