I'd suggest running one of your own and then making a decision. They are the best 60cc saw around (I have yet to use anything better). The 361 was very very good but you can't get them any more - the 362 perhaps has a bit more torque than the 560 and seems very durable but isn't as good to use. I will admit that Husky sometimes seem a bit slow on their customer service - this is largely down to the individual dealers I believe.

I think you're paying for the machining, not the scrap value.
-
What's wrong with the 560? Best saw you can buy IMO.
-
Just out of interest, is it the machine that was recently for sale on eBay in the midlands?
-
I'm not sure how they sell them TBH. Is it defo knackered? Can it be revived by an electronics genius? I had a Timberwolf no stress box successfully fixed by a small washing machine repair shop years ago (they are no longer there unfortunately). Someone who knows their way round PCBs may be able to revive it (if you find someone please share their details).

ehb electronics gmbh - messen - steuern - regeln: Chipper control They are the original manufacturers in Germany and may be cheaper.

That the display mounts into with the printed circuit boards inside? If so I think they are approx £750...
-
Which box? Got any pics?

How do you buy your oil 25lt or 210lt drum?
monkeybusiness replied to Horatio's topic in General chat
I'd be very interested - I'll happily buy in bulk (200l or IBCs) if it saves money. -
If there are doubts over hydraulics, why bother? Is it cheaper to build?
-
I'll second nappies - chicken carcasses (after the Sunday roast, not just any old dead bird but I guess the principle's the same) are really good too. If it's rubbish and will combust on it goes I say.

Does the rear door overhang the tailgate enough to prevent it from opening, and how is it secured to stop the dishonest amongst us from unbolting it and lifting it off (hicap body caps lend themselves to exposed external mounting bolts)?

The best front mounted chipper for a mog?
monkeybusiness replied to MattyF's topic in Large equipment
In that situation I'd like to think I'd be super quick!!!! Something has gone very wrong if they need pulling... -
361 to the 362 was a back step.

I bet he needed some big front weights to drive with that monster on the back! What are the little straw-looking things hanging down in the feed hopper? -
The 12x6 ifor will carry vehicles if necessary -I've carried my 110 on several occasions. With cage sides it will hold approx 8m3, which is possibly overloaded with chip but it doesn't look it and still tows very well. If filled to the brim with oak or beech rings it is definitely overloaded but still tows fine and easily manages to tip off. If you are buying an ifor I would recommend avoiding buying from them directly -they're customer service when it comes to any warranty issues is non existent (it's so bad I have just ordered a new Brian James trailer -more expensive but apparently fantastic trailers). Buy off a good dealer and let them handle any problems you may encounter.

I've always found road tow chippers eat tyres - they are generally built down to a weight and use a light-duty axle that subsequently runs near its maximum load limit. This in turn chews up tyres as the suspension units are working near their design limits. Also a lot of people don't get their brakes regularly adjusted, so the over-run bangs on the tow hitch destroying the damper and leads to trailer wheels locking up occasionally. The smack that caused the ding in the wheel could have also knocked the suspension out of line at the same time possibly.
-
Do you want to restore a 1928 too?...
-
I always run a 16 on a 200t, and a lot of the lads who try mine subsequently do the same. It's well balanced and plenty powerful enough for most jobs imo. 201t might struggle a bit though.
-
boom!
-
01789 400044. The number should be on the chipper's ID plate. Let us know how you get on.
-
I bought a towbar for a 3.5 tonne Iveco recently and had a choice of chassis depths - mine is a 3 litre double cab tipper so I (incorrectly) assumed it would have the deeper chassis rails - I think the heavier versions are different in this area (the axles look different too). If you just want to swap a body across I'm sure it will fit though, as the distance between the rails is likely to be the same.

When you put your thumb on the button there is a click which (IIRC) is a solenoid pulling the throttle stop open. This solenoid has 3 wires - basically there is a 'Pull' circuit and a 'Hold' circuit. The pull circuit will remain pulling whilst you have your finger on the button, and the hold should continue to hold (be energised) once there is no oil pressure fault etc. If you have adjusted the throttle settings at all or moved the solenoid it is possible that the solenoid can't retract enough for the hold magnet to hold the solenoid open. This is also the case if the solenoid is faulty. It is highly likely that what I have written is wrong (and/or probably meaningless). If so, ring Mac or Jason at Greenmech tomorrow and they will fix it over the phone.

Warn 9000i. Has it turned up yet?...
-
The man is a legend, and so is his colleague Jason. They can diagnose just about anything over the phone and explain how to sort it in layman's terms. That sort of back-up is priceless IMO.
