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.

It all goes round in circles. Creating cavities and habitat is as trendy as these days:laugh1:

Yup, that phishing email has been doing the rounds for a few years

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:

Ummmmm Dunno, I have a copy somewhere, I can check but its not one of my regular reads so it may take some finding.

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.

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:

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:

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.
-
What's wrong is that you don't understand the way things are this side of the pond and just aren't listening.

Cant you just call the mechanic that does your inspections?
-
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.
-
Maybe they are counting all the first series that had to be recalled in that statistic.
-
Did it run OK before the coil died?
-
You are preaching to an empty house mate. In the UK the HSE dealt with the chipper safety thing over a decade ago when operator in feed protection was reviewed and machines retro fitted. There is also a qualification for chipper operators The main safety area though is we simply don't have much in the way of huge chippers, a TW125 will give you a manicure you will never forget but it cant eat you.

Fixed that for you, he will even lean on a Timberwolf chipper for a free beer :laugh1: -
I don't think he wanted to be there, it says he was dragged in.
