  1. Any or all of the old Kohler engine is available free of charge to the collector .
  2. Got the electric start wired up today . Oil levels spot on . Started up 3rd turn of the key . The pull start is ok although a tad flimsey . Apparently a genuine Honda part is a straight swap anyway . To be perfectly honest as I chipped some brash ie Conifer and a bit of old apple tree I noticed no difference between the old Kohler 18hp and the new 16hp engine ? There is a knack to starting the new engine when using the recoil system . I must have chipped for at least 20mins or so today . Although did have the new engine on half revs for 20 mins oil change in 5 hrs . All told the new engine has fitted in a treat . Even the belt cover has been left unchanged .
  3. Traded my old efco top handle saw for a 064 with a 25 " bar . The Efco went to a local joiner he was happy and so was I .
  4. Ooh I will have a machine with greasable bearings this year
  5. Sorry not much help I know but hell a cave in your garden how cool is that
  6. Tw 150 / 125 have none greasable bearings which is a bloody pain . Not sure on the bigger models .
  7. Not sure if this helps although sharp blades prolong the life of the bearings
  8. Respect the silky Heal quick matey
  9. Chicks love scars How the feck did you manage that ?
  10. You have done exceptionally well to get a year and a half out of those beggars
  11. Currently running rapeseed oil from makros . We have used this for a few years now without any problems . Cheap as chips

  13. Cheers Ant I have just recieved them . Thanks again for all your help .
  14. Well Big T its arrived . Took a couple of hours to drill new bolt holes and make sure it was all lined up properly . Just needs oil adding and the electric start wired up
  15. On a serious note thanks for your input as both chippers are lots of dollars
  16. Wow glad your that impressed . Thanks for the reply . A shopping I shall go Greenmech QC or Forst mmmmmm ponder a while I will
  17. Thanks but how does it compare to your Quadchip ?
  18. Must admit I really like how the quad chip works . I have worked with Greg from Uk treeworks and found his quadchip to be an excellent machine
  19. How is your Forst doing ? I am currently looking at jumping ship from TW due to there complete lack of this solving this prolific bearing problem .
  20. Was thinking of coming as I,m looking for a new bigger chipper but as you have limited space I will leave it I cant come with my local rep as I dont know who they are . Currently jumping ship from TW which has served me well . Only due to there contiuned bearing problems and lack of willingness to sort this issue out properly .
  21. Here's my roof rack .
  22. We stop pruning trees prone to bleeding mid January now . Global Warming is my thought . In the 1990s we were pruning birch trees late feb early march ?
  23. Yep they do . £18 each bargain nowt worse than having found you have a flat the morning of a big job
  24. For logs of that size we use a log pick Only use my cant for bigger felled stems
