A big fracture prune would be best I reckon if you could get away with it.

Ewoks I reckon!

I got plastic moulded ones for a truck, didn't think much of them, the mechanism would catch on stuff as they weren't covered inside. And a good kick would wreck them. What about the fabricator in Aberlour, he did done cracking welding for me 1 day.

Why do Pigeons throw food (bread) around?
Stephen Blair replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in General chat
To break it up maybe. -
Stop using chainsaws and vehicles too, man you will be superman in a fortnight!

It's a battery full of electricity ! Mine is ltd to 16 mph of assistance

Saw them as well, pity the stumps are old and small, I'd like to see it on a fresh 5" beech to see how the design worked on them. Looks well built for sure

Ive had 2 Yamaha grizzly 450 cc and a Honda 500cc both petrol, towed chippers easily and great for dragging brash to bonfires. The kibuto Rtv is excellent too, runs on diesel, uses hardly any fuel and can carry 2 and loads of kit

Looks like the back of an old farm byre!

The guy rips out 2 small coppice and he doesn't know what he is doing? Do you know the job spec? Maybe the mulcher is coming in behind him! This isn't judge the operator thread, it's about Arbdiggers! The more tree destroying with the diggers the better!! Start a moan n groan ranty thread where the above will be welcomed with open arms!

135 I think Jon

Heal quick mate

Jonny if I'm being honest, for all a chipper that size can handle, crane feeding would be pretty hard work , and slow going. On 8" chippers plus they can handle big heavy lumps and fairly sizeable trees with brash, hence crane feeding making life easier. Micro diggers have a short reach so pretty awkward. Better building a frame and putting the lightest timber crane on the chipper and removing the hopper. A crane like Flatters has on his trailer . Again on such a small chipper, I don't see much benefit

Cheers Darrin! Blades on Gloria are like a chain on a polesaw, rarely you make contact with dirt and rarely need sharpened. Branches don't usually touch the ground. -
Within reason or necessity then yes.

Pete you can send me my commission as usual mate 😀 If you want to make the most of the chipper, promote leaving chip onsite , if not you have just got a small gravity fed chipper sat in a driveway or street, chip behind the hedge, onto a compost heap and you then have a magic wand!! Good luck and don't chip blunt! -
First job I took my 2nd hand chipper too that cost £5k broke down, cost £400 to fix, 2 100 mile round trip to the dealers to deliver and collect and I had to cut all the brash down into the van, took me 3x as long as priced and the chipper was a constant pain, heavy and unproductive! Chippers make you money, if you are in this game for the long run then you are going to have to take the jump at some time.
