When i refurbished an entec chipper , the no stress was not working, and i sent it to a guy in norfolk, chipper doctor i think he is called. It was just a broken sensor, quite common i believe!

Nice one. I actually should upgrade mine. Mine is an early one, not as powerful, but still a great bit of kit. Did you speak to steve himself?

Sort of. Tree surgeons use their site to dump logs, they process it and sel it on. Its mostly willow from what i can see!

Burning unseasoned wood of any description causes a tar build up. Nothing to do with the type of wood. Just had the flue swept after two years of burning old fence posts, conifer, pallet wood etc. The sweep guy commented that i must be burning the right type of wood as he got hardly any soot out! It would also be useful if firewood suppliers were educated in to what a softwood is, compared to hardwood! Some are pretty useless in tellimg the difference! But stove suppliers are also to blame. The crowd i brought mine from told me if i get caught burning conifer, the council will serve an injunction on me!

A biomass boiler has various filters and afterburners to remove pollutants that a domestic fire has not got. They would require a seperate licence amd stringent inspections.

Its illegal to burn treated timber, so they would have you on that one

Unless you have thatnin writing from them, i wouldnt trust it. For the sake of 140 for three years, its better to get a licence. Even hedgecuttings are classed as waste from their point of view

Silly suggestion, but are the revs high enough?

Nice bit of kit!

You're telling me they would pull you over, and dip the tank on the chipper to see what fuel you have in it? And then what? I can understand a road vehicle being tested, but a chipper?

Can you not buy off a farmer??

The fuel costs just dont stack up against diesel. 4.5 litres in an hour, about £2.40 in red diesel, So every hour on the clock is costing another fiver?

Not much of an expert on the engcon, but surely its desgined to grab and hold up to weight of the machines lifting capacities. If you do as you describe, surely it would put undue stress on it and bend something??

Yes, fantastic if you can get the digger in, but in the back garden through a side gate, not so easy, and no customer wants a digger churning up their lawn. What tonnage force will that lift? Post puller is 4 tonne

Buy a post puller. Best thing i ever brought for fencing. With the claw, it will pull the ball of concrete out even if the post has snapped! Www.postpullers.co.uk
