  1. In the UK you just don't get tips like you do sausage side
  2. Same here:thumbup1:
  3. What sort of discount have you been offered? You need to buy a LOT to get pennies off, then you need to store it and keep it secure A fuel card might be a better option
  4. Have the dimensions of the splitter ram to hand when you call, they will be able to match the pump better:thumbup1:
  5. I like it and I want it, or one like it. Clear your inbox mate
  6. Speak to flowfit, they will send it to you on the PTO gearbox of your choice
  7. This is a 2 stage pump It delivers high volume at low pressure until is encounters resistance p, at which point it swaps to high pressure low(er) volume It makes the ram move as quicker until it touches the timber then slower but with more force Hydraulic Gear Pumps Two Stage Hi-Lo Gear Pumps Run it on a bog standard open centre valve
  8. In order for it to be "pukka" for an employee to use it would need to conform to PUWER regs, that's going to cost you more than buying one off the shelf where all boxes have been ticked by the manufacturer. If someone gets hurt with a machine you diy'ed or modified you had better reach for the lube and grab your ankles. First in line will be the HSE closely followed by the injured party's ambulance chaser.
  9. It all goes round in circles. Creating cavities and habitat is as trendy as these days:laugh1:
  10. Yup, that phishing email has been doing the rounds for a few years
  11. Agreed but in certain circumstances you can run the tail through a pulley and hang a log on the end to act as a brake and haul the carriage back up for you:thumbup1:
  12. Ummmmm Dunno, I have a copy somewhere, I can check but its not one of my regular reads so it may take some finding.
  13. I did it once and found it to be a bad idea, it lets dust out and the truck 7.5 ton was permanently dusty inside and out needed a new air cleaner a week later.
  14. Eh? I consider myself frugal but you lot abuse the term:laugh1:
  15. Justin Kingwell has just the machine for you Kingwell Holdings - Homepage
  16. Rocked up on a job today and the neighbour came out carrying a combi can. He explained it had been left behind a while back by the landlords contractor who never returned for it. It now has a new home.:thumbup1:
  17. That's Pete Bridgeman and that's a flush cut, liberal arborex and if its hollow fill it with concrete Fine sideburns Mr B [ame]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tree-Surgery-The-Complete-Guide/dp/0715370502[/ame] You young uns......
  18. You have a PM
  19. I would be more concerned with the pressure its delivering, a pump that's been moving crappy UTO in a tractor back end for the last couple of decades wont be in the best condition. Chuck a PTO pump on it. Job done:001_rolleyes:
  20. No I was quite clear in what I said, I said, you aren't listening, now you aren't listening and you are putting words in my mouth to suit your agenda. The simple fact is this, the UK doesn't have an issue with workers getting hurt or killed by large chippers the way you seem to have. I appreciate that you have an issue with this and that's fine but ranting at us poor Brits is just wearing your keyboard out to no avail. If this is such an issue with the corruption you allege, get on your soapbox with OSHA or your senator or whoever you need to in order to get this put right.
  21. What's wrong is that you don't understand the way things are this side of the pond and just aren't listening.
  22. Cant you just call the mechanic that does your inspections?
  23. I didn't say he would be solo, that's your agenda. If they were solo or not the machine would need to be fitted with infeed protection to the current UK standard. What's the US standard for infeed protection? Our roads and infra structure date from a time when a horse and cart was living large so tring to get a 14 inch chipper and a truck big enough to drag it down most of the UK's streets in a logistical nightmare We don't see many machines over 12 inch in the uk and most of the big machines are machine feed only.
  24. Maybe they are counting all the first series that had to be recalled in that statistic.

    Did it run OK before the coil died?
