    Compared to a fixed shear straight onto the hitch, it outweighed it by far. Compared to a fixed rotator it was a compromise. I bought the Nisula as I have a good relationship with AC Price and I wanted 1 the next day, it was well built and faultless, I was the 1 using it not for what it was made for, hanging off a timber crane.

    Once you solve this problem I recommend you buy a fuel funnel with a fine mesh and keep it in a box or plastic bag, contamination is the simplest thing to help avoid and 1 of the most simplest ways to ruin a good day and trying to get sorted. Most of us learned the hard way. Best of luck

    I used to run a Nisula felling shear, purchased from AC Price engineering. Turns your digger into a giant pair of loppers. Pros of that were I could shear at all angles, all directions even towards myself, so I could reach over fences and shear hedges etc, removeable blade so it was a timber grab too and no electrics needed either, just 1 2 way function and 1 standard return, cons I lost a lot of height because the shear, rotator and dampener were about 3’ in length. The rotator wasn’t fixed to I had limited height and cut and hold capabilities. A fixed shear I’d go TMK, they seem to have the biggest diameter cut and very simple. If I had a big budget I’d go Jake from Jas P Wilson, full fixed rotator and removeable blade and will cut 200mm, you’ve pretty much got a robot arm shearing machine. Wilson’s are great to deal with.

    Sounds like fuel like the others day, if I remember there’s an inline fuel filter between tank and carb, I’d be starting there.

    Morning guys, looks like there’s been a fare bit of damage down south. We had the Northern lights last night, only slightly from my front door but some amazing pics going on Social media. Weekly physio at 9.30am then a day of trying to find some dopamine! 😂. Watched Sly on Netflix last night, wow! If you’ve got daddy issues, repressed anger and grew up in the 80’s, watch it! Better than any therapy sessions I’ve ever been to 😂😎
