  1. I’ve the same as you @John Shutler and am equally interested @Stephen Blair!
  2. I doubt very much that he’s come asking for money/arms/anything really though!
  3. I’d be inclined to disconnect the air inlet hose from the engine altogether and try it - maybe gently fire a blowtorch into the inlet as you turn it over (in case the glow plugs aren’t working). If it’s giving smoke then it appears to have fuel, and diesel engines only really need that and air to run.
  4. How does the stop bar work on these? What sort of money is that RP200, and is that as big as they get?
  5. How do you create hot water (immersion heaters I guess?), and how many baths/showers a day take place in your household? Is your house heating underfloor or conventional radiators?
  6. I never realised you were a homosexual. With hindsight it does make a lot of things make more sense though!
  7. How far from the garden to the road in miles?!
  8. Doing it on a busy weekend would be my only issue - can’t see a problem otherwise.
  9. We tow ours on GH94 trailers (they are practically made to measure for a Safetrak if you want something as compact as possible that you can leave the chipper on and still use it for chipping). We have also regularly stick them on a 12x6 Ifor tipper and they tow fine. Great chippers, have served me very well over the years. There are a few bits and pieces that can cause issues but everything is fixable and Greenmech are incredibly helpful. If you are ever stuck just phone the number on the serial plate and Jason will diagnose and talk you through a repair over the phone.
  10. I’m at a similar decision-making junction myself at present! If you find a good (ie cheap!) twinwall supplier please let me know….
  11. Will it not look odd where it changes from single to twin wall?
  12. Have a look for a bloke called Bart Chipper Doctor (I think) - from his posts he is exactly who you need.
  13. Do it on a tonnage rate, extracted and stacked at roadside. Work out how many tonnes you think you could comfortably do in a day from the hardest/furthest part of the job, work out your day rate and do some maths to see what you need to charge. You’ll have good days and bad days, but it’s the fairest way for both parties.
  14. I had the same charger fail after minimal use. They are crap.
  15. Imagine how much money gets wasted on this sort of crap globally… In any other period in history this man-woman would be locked up in a padded cell, not preaching on about how climate change affects black people more than white people! Can’t believe he didn’t throw in a bit of Covid, and have a ‘free Palestine’ banner in the background for good measure! No wonder Trump smashed it (thank god!).
