    How about approaching this differently. Suggest to the client the impractical nature of the hedge. Reduction instead of trying to trim. Leaving it at a height the gardener can cope with with. Ty

    One point to bear in mind is... That the single cylinder, non-commercial engines fitted to these low priced chippers will not have the same pickup rate, smoothness of running, engine note or longevity as the V twin such as fitted to machine such as the CS100 or higher end Jo Beau. The engine fitted might not be designed for much more than what a home owner would use in a life time of occasional weekends. Nor the metal used able to withstand the stresses of professional use. I guess if you are not using these low end chippers as your main machine year in year out they are worth a punt for a start up Arb business. Ty

    Wow, mithering about a few quid on materials... I'd be selling up the service and making it sound good value rather than counting the centimes so. Ty

    WOW! It does seem a very good deal. http://www.deleks.com/en/wood-chippers/biowoodchippers/317/deleks-dk800-professional-use-wood-chipper-with-15cc-4-stroke-gasoline-engine.html Ty

    Cruising the web as you do, I have noticed many of these 15hp bargain chippers are clearly just the same machine re-branded. Ty

    Hello Jason,

     I need to organise a quadchip flywheel axle replacement.

    Are there any exchange units available?

    If not, how best to get ours to G.M?

    ALSO...

     How much if G.M does the job for me...? (properly with new bearing and like WHATEVER!)

    Still not out of the merde but holding my own against the wrath of the perfidious French git.

      Regards

      Stuart

      Hi Stu.....I'm on holiday this week but I'm fairly sure a new shaft is in the region of £375 plus fitting which is approx 3 hours labour @£60 per hour..

      There probably is a service exchange flywheel assembly ready for despatch but that would be on the understanding that you returned yours, why don't you bring it over yourself and come and have a cuppa..?

      Probably best to email 'Heather' in the parts dept for an accurate price, think it's '[email protected]'

      Its good to hear that you're doing ok though mate.......!

    Yes, it could have a round swiveling top to it as an option plus a tacho which is usefull. Ty

    I don't see how that Rock with it's single cylinder engine can beat a CS100 in terms of performance. As for talk of money in the bank, your forgetting the high residual value of a CS100 and excellent back up from G.M. Ty

    G.M do 2 petrol road tow models. The 23hp 130 and the 37hp 150P The 130 is listed as being able to process 3ton per hour and 150P 3.5ton per hour. Why is there not alot of difference for an extra 14hp? Curious... Ty

    Hello Spud.

    First, thank you for all your most usefull contributions to Arbtalk.

    Now I have 'supplie devant vous' I wish to ask your advice.

    I have a 2009 Stihl pole saw power unit which now only runs on half choke.

    What are the possible causes of this?

    Regards

    Stuart Lee

      Hi Stuart, if the unit needs half choke then the carb isn't supplying as much fuel as it should. Usual issues would be carb tune, holed or bad fuel line, bad fuel filter or the carb needs a clean and refurbish. Typical carb issues are shyte in the gauze strainer, holed or damaged pump diaphragm or hardened metering diaphragm. Sometimes removing the H&L screws and using carb cleaner down their holes can resolve issues.

      That's about it for the first pass. 

      Good luck

      Steve

      Many thanks for the tips.

      I forgot to mention that it is a four mix engine just in case this changes things.

      Cheers

      Worth checking the valve clearances then, this causes many poor running issues on these machines

    I popped out to visit a mate on a job. That is my old HB20 there, cracking machine. Ty

    Our Iveco 7t is only 20cm larger than our 3.5t but carries 3.6t after kit and 3 guys. It's pretty nimble too and with difflock is less of a liability 'hors piste' as they say here. Ty

    In fact, this subject is much like questioning and trying to get around the German beer purity laws. Yes, you can make artisanal beer out of weird herbs and cast off socks if needs be but at the end of the day, 500years of tradition has proved hops, water and barley to be the best combination. Ty

    I use Aspen fuel and veg bar oil whenever possible. Conscious of the very obvious difference in how I feel at the end of the day when I have to used SP98 and mineral oil. The skin on my face too suffers from issues related not only to the sun and plant sap but also to the use of mineral bar oils. Ty

    I lost a job because some-one else could do it on the Friday instead of the Monday giving the client time to clear up. Friday passed and Monday came and went with no sign of any tree work as I drove past... Ty

    Hello, Unless you can speak French then your out of luck. I can't put it any plainer than that. For those of us who arrived here with a phrase book and a French tart, the nightmare of self employment is the best option. Finding work with other Engerleesh speakers for Engerleesh speakers. A little collaboration... Ty
