  1. Its pants. If you have a bit of dirty timber it is just about OK If you hit anything hard in the timber you risk loosing some or all of the carbides Nearly impossible to sharpen in the field (perhaps with a portable grinder?) and only with a green grit grinding stone in the workshop.
  2. I kill a fair few, that would make your barber Sweeny Todd
  3. Arborist is way too pretentious. Our customers have gardens full of trees not arbs I am a tree cutter A bit of the top, short back and sides or euthanasia its all the same to me.
  4. What he said, mine does rads and hot water
  5. That's a fine piece of craftsmanship and far to nice to be outdoors.
  6. I have seen many brit tips old and new. They are well specked and well built. You wont go wrong with it on the tipper, somewhere to put your elbow, now there is another issue altogether
  7. :laugh1: Them Matty forwards it out with the tractor and trailer leaving muddy ruts to fill with water that WILL be 1 inch deeper than your boot is high:laugh1::laugh1:
  8. Nice,........... then you spank up the saw and all the wildlife fleas to the next valley, you cant smell the flowers any more because you have trampled most of them into the ground and the smell of sweat overpowers it. You don't have time to look at the view, got another three loads to get out. Oh well that's logging for you:laugh1::laugh1:
  9. The Husky cap is fundamentally what it always was, they have just changed the sticky uppy bit of old to a flippy uppy bit of new:thumbup1:
  10. Cant help with the work but if you scan read the title it looks like you are seeking work in the Darwin awards:laugh1:
  11. Was it a bit too big for you:laugh1:
  12. The point I was making was the price of the valve, it wasn't meant to be a like for like example
  13. I am on a couple of mailing lists Simon. What are you looking for?
  14. £150 to maintain a saw £15 would be more like it
  15. Gonna have to call BS on that, my "slightly modified" Discovery is a tipper that I built myself and NFU insure that.
  16. I just googled engineers report and found someone local. See if you need one first, I only needed one because I changed the wheelbase and bodywork.

    Rescue

    Noooo Its Germany, they are on the metric system. They would be 15.240cm nails:laugh1:
  18. I fix a fair few chippers and to be honest I don't think that's out of the way money. As a punter I would want a timely and permanent fix and the sure fire way to do that is new parts. Fixing costs but having a cutting gang looking at a chipper that wont work is even more expensive.
  19. I have seen the whirlwind in action, it's mesmerising to watch, I know the bobbins are constrained by engineering but you can't help wondering that they don't hit each other
  20. If its for sale I will find a market for it:laugh1:
  21. That is some major league bad news
  22. What he said and what others said about the XTC
  23. Hmmmmm The solenoid valve consists of a needle type spring loaded valve and a coil to move it. The needle part seldom goes wrong, its just a stem and a spring inside a tube, a quick clean is all they ever need. The coil is the black (usually) bit with the wires that fits over the stem tube. The coil breaks down (goes weak) or burns out completely. The valve on the Jensen may have a built in speed control and this one doesn't Flowfit 3 Way Hydraulic Solenoid Diverters - Maximum Flow 80L Min 1-1
  24. That's a lot of money and I don't need one but your best place to sell that would be Canal Street in Manchester:laugh1:
  25. Some will ask for a report, most wont. I paid £120 for a report on a Discovery that I stretched and fitted a tipper to. No big drama
