    Either a dodgy solenoid, or starter motor. Have you tried tapping the starte with a hammer whilst holding the key over?

    Pikeys?

    How do you empty it?

    Jumping on the whole gm and peruzzo debate. The idea of putting two engines on a chipper to do two different things just seems expensive, when one engine can do both.my first ever chipper was a bolens tomahawk 12hp. this had one great feature, in that you could start the engine without the blade drum being enganged. You then pulled a lever that engaged the drum, thus making starting easier. If gm were to use this system, could they then not utilise the same engine to operate tracks, then engage the blade when in stationary mode? Would make a cracking bit of kit!!

    If its any consolation, my mate left one of his lads using his cs100 while he was up a tree, and the machine stopped. He came down and could no re start it. The remaining brash got hauled away at expense, and the cs100 stripped down in his spare time. It was only after lots of effing and blinding did the lad ask if it was anything to do with the red stop button he had pressed!

    I had a similar issue on one of my crushers, hydraulic oil coming out the breather. Turned out to be a faulty pressure relief valve in the end.

    Beat me to it. I have one, and it really works!

    Look up terrasaw. Its an agressive blade for a cut off saw designed for cuttimg sleepers, tree roots etc.

    To be honest, it makes no difference.,they rot just a quick, amd now all the nasty chemicals they used to inject into the post have been banned, and the stuff they use now is useless. I had to replace an 8 x 8 gate post recently that had snapped at the base due to rot, had only been in 8 years, and it wasnt even the post the gate hangs on!

    Any one run a 3.5 tonne double cab know if you can totally remove rear seats to gain a flat floor?
  11. dig-dug-dan
    Spot on, although he may prefer a 2.6 tonner, as it can be legally towed without going down the hgv route Also, try and get a kubota. Guaranteed to get your money back if you sell it

    Cant see a problem, but if its a higher flow rate, you will find the boom swing a bit faster than it is now

    http://www.oakgardenmachinery.co.uk/product/bulldog-bde3500e-diesel-generator-3kw-electric-start/ I have one of these, amd managed to blow the little glass fuse when i used the 12v charger. Does anyone know the correct size fuse to put back? I am assuming 10amp?
  16. dig-dug-dan
    Smart set up. Do you use much ad blue?

    You can buy a special funnel that filters out the water. Funnel man i think its called. It works a treat. Everytime i service my crushers, you see the amount of crap hirers put in instead of fuel!

    Cabstars now have limited slip diff as standard, so getting stuck not an issue. Personally, would never have a transit. Only concern is a rumour that the cabstar is being discontinued, if so i will look at mitsubishi,,or izuzu if they do a double cab

    Lets be clear, these guys are not bailiffs. They are high court officers, they have more powers than bailiffs. Bailiffs are not allowed to force entry onto your property

    I once ate a chocolate bar a month past its sell by date. Now thats living on the edge

    Blimey, thats a new one on me. Lucky the contaminant did not get to the pump, that could have been another job entirely!
  23. dig-dug-dan
    Silly question, did you disconnect the battery before welding? The electrical problems could be a bad earth, which in turn may cause a rolller issue. There should be a breather within the hydraulic circuit somit should not need bleeding
  24. dig-dug-dan
    Both. If i am working in the back garden and i can persuade the customer to keep the chips, then i take chipper to the trees, no dragging. If i am taking the stuff away, i use the timberwolf road tow. Also, if i need mulch for a job, i chip stuff with the eliet, it gives a much nicer chip Yes its not as fast as a 6inch, but it can really handle some nasty stuf thanks to its wide opening

    I have one, see my avatar! Mine is on a road trailer, but i can take it off and wheel it to the job, its powered. The conveyor is an option, which stols stuff dropping on the floor. They have recently red designed it, with a clutch for the shredding knives,wider opening, and a chute for the discharge that uses some weird fan system, something my machine could do with. Would i buy another? Yes, in a heartbeat its awesome. As for shredding pallets, they are clowns. You will need to replace the blades. Ih, and be careful how you orientate the blades and bolts, do it wrong, and you lose the bolts!
