    They have promised several times to take me off the spam list but keep on lying If current steps prove in effective it might soon be time for a trip up north to reinforce this request in person:laugh1::laugh1:

    Dear Orange Plant, and for the particular attention of Patricia Lilian Chapman Director of said company I don't want to buy a chipper and if I did I would buy it from someone with better moral fibre than you so for the last of many times of asking, STOP MITHERING ME to buy a chipper.

    Look at the guide bar, it should have an info cartouche on it like this http://www.ats-webshop.co.uk/wpimages/Stihl%20Guide%20bar%20markings.jpg And its a guide bar, not a blade:001_rolleyes: and its not a game

    My main concern would be that if it deformed or broke any further, any open ends could rag the rope. It seems that Petzl are happy enough that this wont be the case.

    The time for asking for comments was before you bought

    There was a product called logswift (if memory serves) that worked on those lines but it never caught on I can see why

    Throttle cable can be bought from your local HGV parts supplier What's that locking handle for?
  12. treequip
    Which parts? Most of a grinder is commonly available bearings and the like, off the shelf at an engineering factors near you.

    I don't see how those tags can be better, they leave horrendous damage where a traditional ally tag and nail leaves nothing but a tiny hole that's plugged by a nail. As far as the chipper goes the tiny nail and that paper thin ally disk should be no kind of challenge to a chipper. The consultant needs to look at the state those tags leave the bark in a couple of seasons after the survey

    If you mean the Latschbacher tags, they are for end grain on cut timber rather than trees. They can do some ugly damage to trees is applied parallel to the grain, particularly on thin bark and especially on Acers Most have a nail hole so use that rather than the applicator hammer

    Once you have a site built you only need a little HTML knowledge to maintain a site so updates shouldn't be much bother. Having said that, its not about having the latest kit and on a website, that's what youtube is for. Most sites are about getting enquiries and that means conveying the 3 W's. Who you are Where you are What you do SEO work can often be kept to a minimum because tree work tends to be geographically limited and doesn't travel well. Enquiries from somewhere "out of your area" aren't much good.

    Ever seen a tree done by a DIY'er and thought Hmmmmmm? Would you be happy if people thought that about your web site? Just sayin.

    When the job just wont run to a pair of Bashlins:lol:

    Is it Hornbeam
  21. treequip
    Ya got that right and there is a reason they last well, its because they are so cumbersome they barely see the light of day. I owned one for nearly 2 decades and it got used twice:laugh1:

    You will need to go a long way to beat this, works just as well for big fells and delicate pruning alike

    Its a bit selfish merely considering your own expense, embarrassment and inconvenience. Its lucky some of the witnesses to your embarrassment weren't victims of your incompetence.

    Plain mild steel plate is OK but needs to be a bit heavier gauge than an alloy steel alloy with good wear characteristics. Super hard is a bad idea, this is the entire point about chipper blades, they are unsuitable because they are too hard, to weld to other parts because of the problems that come with welding dissimilar steels. They are also too brittle.

    How would you fasten them to the splitter.
