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.

I could see the contact burn on your bare skin, does it still sting? -

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.

I got involved as a RTA witness and regretted it. No end of no win no fee calls and texts even though I wasn't involved. If you don't get on with the owner say nowt, or use the incident as a vehicle to mend bridges, if you are so inclined.

What model? The old ones are rugged and simple. I only used one of the modern fleet and I didn't like it

Go to the AA website. Loads of good downloads there

It allows for a central load attachment while keeping the traces (the lines the horse pulls with) parallel to the horses flanks (sides). Without it the traces would chaff something chronic

A proportional control isn't the tool for that job, if you were going to do that you would need a flow divider with the spare capacity piped back to the return. Its not just about the speed of the cycle though, you could make the cycle fast as you like but you will finish up boiling the oil. A bit of finesse will be needed. I wouldn't have thought the processor has enough spare to run a second machine that's as greedy as a splitter. You could investigate the pump on the splitter with a view to either fit a tandem or probably replace the existing with a tandem pump, that way you have one supply for the processor and another for the "auxiliary" circuit. If you do add capacity watch out for heat build up, the processor should be fine but extra heat from the auxiliary circuit might need dealing with.

You probably wont be able to run it in tandem, the pump on the processor will be matched to its needs so putting extra demands on it will mean that neither device will work properly What you will be able to do is use the processors pump to run the splitter Your splitter should have an open centre control valve, you will be able to tap into the supply from the pump and the return on the processor. When tapping into the pressure be aware that you could well be doing away with the pressure relief valve on the processor so either fit a replacement or take care not to run it without piping the splitter in first or damage could occur.

Well I for one didn't, but I do now Yamabiko Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Given the state of play with top handled saws I would give one a go
-
God forbid more regulation, BUT, if it were the case demand would increase and more players would get into the market making finding it easier and driving the price towards the reasonable. What's the price difference in the low countries?

Interesting number crunching but it completely ignores the facts that My 2 stroke oil arrives delivered FREE along with all the other stuff I order on a regular basis, I don't even have to make a call for that, its all clickety click click and only one delivery:thumbup1: I visit fuel stations with a practically unlimited supply on a regular basis (unfortunately:001_rolleyes:) and filling a couple of combi cans takes less time than the costa machine needs to make a latte. If I did keep a bulk supply of fuel at the yard it would still take the same time to fill a can at the yard, without the benefit of the caffeine:thumbdown:. If your groundie cant be trusted to manage a can of 2 stroke,,,, you need a new groundie:laugh1: But that's OK, I fully understand the tendency to defend the choices we make. If I had hedge cutters I would run them on alkylate fuel.

Claiming on your own insurance is going to cost you in the long run, and its not the only option. You can also sue the other party if they are negligent and or don't have insurance.

Employers Liability Insurance For Sub -Contractors
treequip replied to Tree Surgeon Insurance's topic in Insurance Forum
That's a bit of a leap, you clearly don't know much about this industry, if you did you would be aware that the AA approved scheme is as near to an industry benchmark as we have. Where did you get the cash in hand thing from????? -
I have a an inexpensive one I bought on ebay. Its PRC in origin and a bit flimsy on the brackets but despite its low price the footage is plenty good enough and it is an effective tool. It hasn't helped me yet but it was of use to a haulier when some plonker in a pickup carved one of their trucks up and caused an accident that would have otherwise been attributed to the truck driver. Ask your insurer if you qualify for a discount once its fitted. They love a bit of CCTV evidence.

If you spent as much time on getting an "O" licence as you have on researching dodging it you would have one by now:laugh1::laugh1:

Yup, I am being stoned to death next week for using a saw with a loose chain:lol: Hope the appeal comes through

I agree but Ruskin's model doesn't say you should pay fortunes. He makes no mention of the high priced items you credit him with. What he does say is do not pay too little. Certainly, we need to buy things that work, this engine didn't, it was a cheap Chinese one. You can distil Ruskin's philosophy into one simple phrase Buy cheap buy twice.
-
That's the sort of response you would expect from a cheap manufacturer I offer you the sage advice from John Ruskin “It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.”

HA ha ha IF they designed it and didn't just copy it. The title says it all CHEAP. Buy cheap buy twice.
