6-7k could buy you a small tractor and reasonable splitter, maybe a saw bench as well... If you are handy with a spanner old processors can be had for a couple of thousand

3 of them mean badly marked utilities at random depths near here 2 are gang tags 1 is buried pirate treasure Apply digger, auger or stump grinder to find out which is which
-
Older golfs use Bosch ignition barrels... So everyone if probably correct, they are both quality German parts and generic off the shelf barrels

Druid metal band?

Husqvarna 350 - keep/service/repair old chainsaw, or buy new?
tree_beard replied to carbs for arbs's topic in Chainsaws
http://service.webec.husqvarna.net/documents/HUSO/HUSO2007_EUenAPen/HUSO2007_EUenAPen__1150331-26.pdf Husky 350 is a good saw, here is a link to the user manual, you should be able to work out some of the basics from there -
The predator looks like a copy/re badged alpine magnum stump grinder. Search for alpine magnum and you should find more info/user feedback, as they have been around for 15 years or so

You should only really need to mow the rides. If reeds are outcompeting the trees after 10+ years then perhaps the tree species are unsuitable for the area. Your efforts may be better spent on drainage or replanting species that will outcompete the reeds. Failing that, thinning so you can fit a more productive flail around the site.

Dosko 200 mini stump grinder 6hp
tree_beard replied to The Surrey Garden & Tree Company's topic in General chat
6hp is not enough... Less than 13hp is a waste of time, ideally 20hp plus for productive grinding. -
Cylinder With Piston 54 mm for Stihl 066, MS660 - 1122 020 1211 | L&S Engineers WWW.LSENGINEERS.CO.UK Cylinder with piston 54 mm Genuine Stihl Part OEM Part No... I would spend 100quid more for a genuine 660 top end if it were mine...

I like mine, surprisingly stable hossing big lumps of wood around. Have yet to fit a towball but it struggled pulling a chained on ifor across a wet field (field was awful though). If you're looking at the cabbed version, I'm warned by my local plant hire fitter that the glass is easily broken and eye wateringly priced. I paid 9kish for a 2005 3000hrs canopy machine

Agreed, Jensen always seemed to have a vast array of quite closely specced machines in their range. Those crazy Germans...
-
A425 has 15 extra horses, bigger heavier flywheel, bigger feed opening and slightly bigger hopper opening. Its generally a higher capacity chipper than the a540. All 8" chippers will chip a log up to 8"dia... But some are happier than others to do it all day, or drag in whole 8" diameter trees/branches without snedding
-
You're not being very clear in your arguments I'm afraid khriss... That and you're wrong... Sub 750kg chippers have been the staple of the UK tree cutting industry since the late 90s. There are plenty of 20yr old examples still chipping happily. Its perfectly possible to make a lightweight chipper that isn't built like a clown car. Chippers that have multiple, major mechanical and structural failures from new, that's the new phenomenon...
-
Curiously the item references the part number you need but the address I just put up generated a link referencing the part number for the later piston assembly... So maybe best ring to check

Husqvarna Chainsaw Piston Assy - Part Number 537219602 for 357 xp (2001-01) WWW.RANSOMSPARES.CO.UK Manufacturer: Husqvarna; Product: Piston Assy; Category: Chainsaw... or give any decent husky dealer the part number
-
Woodmizer used to sell them as a budget option, and riko UK have supplied them for the last few years
-
Good to hear its still going well. I had a look at the Carter machine specs gray git mentioned. Yanmar engine, hydraulics from Italian or Japanese makers, and boom and dipper arms from komatsu. Can't be bad, but at £38k for the 8ton I'd be looking at second hand known brands with a wider dealer network personally
-
Scratch that, nearly right, he's got a Liugong 6tonner... Page 83 of the fings wot broke these... ahem
-
I'm sure somewhere on this thread Aspen Bob was celebrating several years trouble free ownership of a Chinese made 8tonner... Sany?
-
You can bolt whatever you like on it, but unless your engine output shafts are the same size and the engines run in the same rpm range, you are going to have to get creative with pulleys and shafts for the chipper to run at the proper speed.
-
088 and 880 are pretty much mechanically identical. If anything your 088 would have performed better than some 880s as I think later 880s had more restrictive exhaust. 881 does look good though
-
The pain is real, some people don't deserve nice things (or don't deserve the nice things that the boss has to buy them)
-
Warm up and cool down... Don't fire up a cold saw and go straight into a long cut and after a long cut, leave your saw to idle for a while to cool down. Basic mechanical sympathy goes a long way

They do, and they don't do it as well as the entec treebuster that they replaced. Horrible machines, and a real step down from any of the drum style micro chippers popular today. Solidly built, but that's about the only thing going for them
