Tighten them so you can still get the Allen key out then withdraw the key to about half its depth. Once you have a little weight on it the countersinking will grip each other and you will be able to take the key out before fully tightening the fastener The other method is to slim the Allen key a little

And with a bigger, more aggressive chain you would probably get better traction. 404 all the way

Or they are prone to bending

I am amazed and pleased you replied. People who turn up out of the blue and ask questions that aren't directly arb related are usually spammers. So how many staff is the payroll going to have to cope with?
-
No but I bet you know plenty about it

The engine will be original, the machine came with a choice of diesel or petrol engines For parts Vermeer or a lot of parts are available after market. You can get brake parts from many trailer suppliers.
-
They have a narrow track so chucking then round corners can be "interesting" Take a mechanic with you if you aren't confident with the spanners, assume the breaks need attention because in a machine of that age you will be lucky if they don't. Other than that just what the others have said
-
Definitely no door handling it then, the petrol is not quite so top heavy (less likely to tip). On the plus side the Perkins vermeer combo makes a particularly good machine, small and powerful (relatively) The single feed roller can be a bit disappointing on wet conny but yoy soon learn the art of not over feeding it. It works best kept in sharp order.
-
Petrol or diesel? Either way they are pretty bomb proof, just don't chuck it round corners too quick
-
The hycrack isn't the most complicated thing The bearing is an off the shelf part and outside drinking tea, replacing the broken shaft is the simplest job you could ask of an engineer.

Yup, for most items its strictly cash on collection and the buyer gets to see it work before they take the item. Doing it this way will reduce the items appeal but it will reduce the number of messers. Selling on ebay is all about the description, generally speaking the better you describe the item, the fewer problems you will have

And are they hanging off a tree with NO PPE whatsoever That is so naive.

That tit up a ladder is blatantly disregarding all the rules, rules that the rest of us abide by not some chancer on a wing and a prayer He is described as a landscape gardener so how many trees are you assuming he has cut and how long are you assuming the man has been cutting trees? The media statements are just that, MEDIA. The media phrases its questions so it can generate whose sound bight clips, the first the person who gave the statement knows of it is when the carefully crafted press release appears as something else entirely. Don't believe what you see in the media

People have been prosecuted for accidents arising from tree work but its unlikely that you will find a prosecution for the use of a top handled saw on the ground where no accident has occurred. Any action would probably start with an improvement notice (slapped hand) anyway. The HSE don't have the power to manhandle someone off site, however if you failed to comply with a safety instruction they do have the power to bring a prosecution under the HSAW act. They can also bring a prosecution against your customer and while its unlikely, the mere threat of such would see a contractor going down the garden path on the end of a customers boot. Ultimately, if whatever you were doing was an imminent danger to others the HSE can simply call plod and have the dangerous action stopped that way.

It cant be a crime against biscuits because its not a biscuit but a cake. The clue is in the name, Jaffa CAKE and all. The makers actually went to court to prove it was a cake because cake pays less tax. None of that prevents dunking them being a crime against etiquette and good manners.
-
Whatever, you clearly aren't going to listen to me. Have a look at any pair of chainsaw pants and examine the construction. Speak to the manufacturers and ask them about the peculiarities of the construction of chainsaw trousers ask them why the blocking material is stitched in the way it is.
-
You are just getting nostalgic for those 1970's platform shoes:thumbup1:
-
Look again at the pitiful amount of fibre dragged out by this test, could you find a shorter bar or a smaller saw?, did you factor that into your "research" Note also that despite the lack of power, the material got dragged in from areas of the garment otherwise unaffected by the cut. Look again at the length hanging off the saw and out of the garment, if the blocking material were securely attached that wouldn't happen. But the proof positive is under own arse, have a look at the pants, making the pants like that is much more complicated, if they could just hem it in with the rest they could but they don't, kinda makes you think
-
No It all depends on how your seamstress goes about the task. For the blocking material to function it needs to be grabbed by the chain and dragged out of the garment and into the rotating parts of the saw where by virtue of its strength and bulk it overpowers the centrifugal clutch. If the seamstress stitches through the blocking material it becomes one with the cover material the intended action fails and the blocking material doesn't find its way into the clutch and the protection fails. To modify pants so they remain functional you would probably need to remove the blocking material, alter its length then re install it. I did see a John Deere boiler suit once where the blocking material had been transplanted from a pair of chainsaw pants
-
This Altering them is a Baaaad idea. The blocking material is held inside compartments within the garment if the person altering them gets it wrong they just wont work. Not to mention the fact that any warranty EN and CE marks go out the window
-
Except the Iveco ones will be BNIB and a simple swap out compared with re engineering the entire vehicle, will the drive flanges even fit, (and fitting it with used parts ?) before sending it for a SVA Suddenly that's not the cheap option ant more
-
Well that argument assumes equal volumes of work in big and small works which isn't likely. It also takes no account of the fact that the overheads on a tranny and chipper outfit operating off your mums driveway are considerably lower than others The main contractor calls the shots and if you want to be in the game you play by their rules
-
I used to do it a lot before they made it against the law
-
You aren't going to be gaining as much as you could compared to a 3500kg vehicle and for very little advantage you will move up into a world that needs an operating centre, O licence, driver licencing and all the other joys of HGV operation If you are going into that world, why not go bigger?

Overloaded is, more than the MAM of the vehicle or exceeding an individual axle load
