Gray git

Top of North Yorkshire

Yes had 1 about 8years ago Pros Nice simple machine Sliding table was light to use instead of rocking Easy to maintain Cons Worked the wrong way round(for me anyway) Not the strongest build quality so needed a bit of strengthening in places (new version might have sorted this) Not the strongest splitter but quick. Guards were a pain to open in a log dropped in wrong. I now have a palax which I think is better although like I said the new jappa might be a lot better than the version I had.

What's your location and range? Very nice looking bit of kit you have.

That's why I use all the big ugly lumps of timber I can't be arsed to do anything with stacked around the outside of my yard as a barricade to stop access across fields

Looks really good with the pickup having the same colour on it. Always liked the hight adjustable draw bar they fit. Can you control the rpm off a button on the hopper on this one?

Fantastic, thanks for reporting back on it, know what you mean about 2nd hand stuff sometime fetching silly money except when I'm the one selling it then it fetches nowt hardly [emoji23] You'll have to get a tech savy youngun to show you how so you can share your picks with us

Glad your liking it, sounds on paper like a very sensible purchase and choice. What's it like at throwing the chip because most of the smaller machines I have used are quite "gentle" especially the tw125 we used helping a friend out struggled to fill the front of my grafter chip box.

Can't trailer it as too heavy for most trailers big enough to carry it so its wagon transport.

Take my landy as an example Last mot it failed as the seat belt mounts on the rear seats were badly rusted and needed to be replaced and welded in. This ment lifting off the rear body, chopping out a crossmember and welding in a new one. Garage wanted nearly a grand to do this so I drove it back to the yard and did it in less than a day myself costing little more than my time but now if the tester deemed this a major safety issue then I'd have either had to pay a lot for them to do it or arrange a large recovery truck to transport it back for me to do the work and then again to take it back even though it had no affect on me driving the vehicle safely.

Sounds that way Going to be a real pain for those of us who carry out the majority of repairs ourselves, many people who would normally sort a problem themselves are just going to end up getting the garage to sort it instead of having to trailer something home which could lead to abuse by some garages saying we can't let you take your vehicle till we have fixed it, here's our overinflated bill.... Think what I'll start doing is arranging with the garage we use for us to take the vehicles in a week or so before it's due for a check over which would give us time to fix anything that's needed and I've not spotted

034 in 95 96 I think, was 2nd hand and lasted long enough to pay for a new 046 which I still have and still runs but is unbelievable on the vibes and was way to heavy for a 17 year old to use every day so got a hasky 350 which served well as a snedding saw with the sthil doing the felling.

http://masonwoodchippers.com/listing/jensen-a540-woodchipper-t489/ This is a clean machine, also has a 1928 safetrack and I'm sure a 190 when I was in on Monday

Not really, springs off Either take motor off the shafts or undo pipes off motor to let it lift out Undo pivot bolts from either side and it should be free to lift up, I'm lucky I have several options to lift things in our yard but two willing lads should manage it. Lining everything back up will either go perfectly smoothly or be a bitch and really annoy you. Did it twice on my machine and had both!

How did you get on cleaning it out?

Bit of a change, putting trees back 35 cherry's along a roadside for the town council

I'd go orange, pink clashes with the grey beard

Bone on tree

Going to be doing a decent size job in adle soon which will produce a fair amount of timber if she can collect it's going to be free, chestnut lime cherry and sycamore.

They claimed it has to be individually written for each company specifying how you collect, store and use data. The way he was selling it was scare tactics about the potential fines for not complying

£200 they say it for the legal fees not for them to upload it

Just been informed by my website company that they want still more money to make changes to my site for new data protection laws and this could affect anyone who receives data electronically from customs either through website enquiry or normal emails, this is what I've been sent, anyone got any thoughts on this or is it just a bunch of hot air for them to charge us all money for nowt You have until the 25th of May to become GDPR Compliant. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new UK regulation aimed at helping to strengthen data protection for citizens and residents both within the UK and the wider world. Essentially it says to businesses and organisations “If you want to offer your services or products to customers who are UK citizens, you better make sure you look after their personal data or else!” Anyone who collects and processes personal data (defined by the GDPR as a Data Controller) will be required to comply with the new regulations. This even includes something as simple as data in your mailbox. It is essential now for all websites who collect data, be it from an enquiry form, lead tracking or even a tracker/analytics requires a privacy policy on their site, outlining… Your name (or business name), location, and contact information What information you’re collecting from them (including names, email addresses, IP addresses, and any other information) How you’re collecting their information, and what you’re going to use it for How you’re keeping their information safe Whether or not it’s optional for them to share that information, how they can opt-out, and the consequences of doing so Any third-party services you’re using to collect, process, or store that information (such as an email newsletter service, or advertising network) This does seem a little “over kill” for those who only are only collecting data at the customers request through their websites but unfortunately, you are still collecting data and still have tocomply with the new regulations. If you do NOT comply then you are leaving yourself open to a fine of up to 4% of your annual turnover. I’m sure you would certainly agree, its better to be safe than sorry!

Nothing at all, nothing gets stuck as its too scared too dare to, now stuff under the bottom roller is another matter I've actually got to kneel down to reach the handle to drop the flap to clean that out, very uncomfortable on cold ground [emoji6]

Had it bad in exactly the same place and ended up undoing the roller pivot bolts and lifting the whole top roller assembly out and getting at it with a sharp chisel, bit of skin loss and much swearing later was all good again, definitely a slight design floor!

You mean you don't just carry a few bags of cold lay tarmac everywhere you go on normal business and have to fill at least 5 potholes each day on your travels like they seem to do round us creating mini speed bumps everywhere.

Looks good with the walking leg on the head, tidy job
