I am looking for some advice on stump grinder teeth set up.I have been told that my grinder will be faster if i just use left and right teeth and no straights. what is everyone else using and any thoughts on this set up. ta Ian

I would do it in one go aswell, cherry has shallow roots anyway and as has been said before i don't think there would be a prob with foundations on anything within the last 30 years or so. get toed in Mick and get the log pile stocked:001_tongue:

Had it about 6 months now, split a good few ton with it and it's good, had a few probs with it, leaking pump and control valvue but were sorted out by titan pro. cant fault it for the money.

I got a 26 ton titan pro one off ebay for 1100 quid, its a powerful machine and its pretty good once you get your head past the chinese build quality, you know pipes not tightened up properly etc, nothing major there back up is pretty good aswell. makes a good first machine but something to last 10 years...........not sure, ya pays ya money and takes ya chance.

i will come, should be good. As for trees, how about trying hazel wood castle just of the A64, they have some monster trees on there estate? -

Try just putting a piston in the 88, you wont get a non genuine pot for the 88,you can get a piston but not a pot and a genuine set is about 350-400quid. in many ways the 66 is better in this respect, i rebuilt one last year pot and piston 100 quid and it is spot on.

I use tesco fuel in my truck, van and car with no problem also use there petrol in my saws again never had a problem.

A good site mate, good to read, clear and not fussy or flashy however as has been said get rid of the dogs, as nice as they are thats your personal thing, this is business, the last thing you want is a customer to think it's a cross between a web site and face book.

There local thieves, i don't know of them, never upset any one round here. 2 were released from prison last week, i know this as 2 have been arrested. they were petty thieves after sat nave etc. when they were spotted they went crackers, they turned like pit bulls. and i believe the fire threat, how can you win against that attitude?
-
i reported it last night, 2 have been arrested, but will be out by tomorrow no doubt, were moving out to a friends house while we think in the cold light of day, waiting for glass so i can move the truck and chipper, wife and son are trying to keep me going but right now i just want to give in and be a wage slave again, i love this industry, boy when it good it's great but when it's bad it's shite. thanks for the support guys.............it does help
-
As most of you know on here i have been targeted over the last few months, had my chipper nicked, all my saws and tools etc last night my outside light went on so i looked out of ny bed room window only to find 3 guys looking round, i shouted then they got baseball bats out and smashed all 3 of my vehicles up, asked me to come out as they were going to glass me then said "were coming back to burn your house" how much is a man supposed to take, new glass is 600 quid, my kids and wife are frightened and were in a recession! am on the brink of calling it a day to be honest...........driven out of my village and home cos of scum:sad:
-
Sap is like PVA, gets every where and is a bugger to get off. Wood turners love it, i have 2 bowls tuned from it, lovely wood just a bitch to handle
-
I have done a couple, Bloody awful, there easy as not a lot of climbing but you get scratched to buggery, even handling the limbs to the chipper is crap make sure you get well paid for it.

No probs matey, glad to help out:001_smile:
