  1. try changing the pipes over from the grab to the rotator
  2. go for the valtra at least the seat will turn you dont need to kneel on the seat
  3. Ernest Bennets in Darlington an hour from penrith
  4. You shouldnt need to change the blades if its clean timber . If they do blunt a little you can resharpen in place
  5. Thanks it has to be hammered rather than chipped which is a real pain
  6. Im looking for advice , we have been asked to supply silver birch that has been through a hammer mill , something not as big as a bandit beast
  7. Get a heizohack it has screens in , and it has stress control so your valtra will be plenty of power
  8. Ive seen a few double rainbows , i would like to see a wild otter , they around where i live but been unlucky so far
  9. Now that is incredible , it must of been so scary to see
  10. ah Steve clever boy its an australian rainbow
  11. I didnt know you could get an upside down rainbow Steve Gray i have heard rumours about youngones that dont have phones glued to there hands but i thought it was a myth
  12. Thats weird , i had to google to see what i had scene , i had never heard of a moon bow
  13. We have all spent lots of time outside , whats the most unusual thing youve seen Mine is seeing a moon bow late one cold winter evening , the other is having a sparrow hawk land on my head , must of thought it was a huge sparrow
  14. Spruced I have the 10 - 500 heizohack in gray gits video , it dosent have the optional infeed conveyour but manages well with thorn and leyandi . Its the same with all chippers if the material is presented correctly these machines work very well all you have to do is compress the material with the grab if very loose . If you can afford it go for an 8 or 10 -500 they are a lot better than the 8-400 as the top roller opens up to 800mm high and will also clamp shut . If you watch gray gits video carefully you will see the thorn slip in the rollers untill i clamp down on it then it goes through well
  15. Sometimes too much hp is a bad thing , if the blades are sharp and set to the anvil you should be fine Try putting other timber through to see the difference Was it a new machine , it could be the infeed rollers / conveyour teeth are a bit blunt not pulling in hard enough , just got that problem on mine at the moment
  16. What horse power are you running it on , is it crane fed ? the blades need to be sharp and have the correct angle
  17. Up to 25 tons at the moment ,a day .I don't think its possible to find that much
  18. One of my customers is looking for large amounts of birch ,in the north east of England , can anyone help
  19. I had an l200 chipped with a prodrive chip from new , I convereted it into a tipper , and must of carried 1000s of tons of logs in it , and it got flogged all the time. I sold it with over 100k on it , I never had any engine problems At the moment my valtra has been chipped for nearly 5 years without any problems , to do with the chip anyway
  20. Yes i will be there this year what ya selling ?
  21. Its the round main drive cog that has dropped , any idea how to get to it ?
  22. Thanks that would be an easy fix
  23. My roofmount stopped slewing today ,do i lift the crane off to dismantle or is there an easier way I suspect it is the main gear i guess , how do you split it a nut underneath ?
  24. I had just about every type of induction on mine in the past, fuel injection , home made manifold to fit quad 45s , wade supercharger through a 390 dp upto a 4.8 race engine with sprintex charger through twin sus was awsome
  25. The vaccum pipe if i remember goes to the distributer for advace retard , do you have an contactless dizzy
