  4. did you forget some funny faces at the end of your last sentence, it can make all the difference in a post:sneaky2: see what i mean:biggrin: welcome:001_cool:
  5. the trailer needs air brakes, and a certain type of axle. and if it is a rockinger hitch or pick up hitch. any pics of the trailer??
  6. thats great news mate, i dont know why i didnt look at this thread earlier, sorry for my late reply.
  7. the greenmech is a v something with engine 14hp
  8. this is going to go all rules and regs very quickly and doom and gloom about how terrible mog owners are and stuff, but before it does mate, go for it, i think depending on mog chasis size depends on how big a trailer you can pull, it must be the right type of trailer on air brakes and it depends what you are towing if you are running on red. ok make way for the mog police:sneaky2:
  9. my last dead beech took about 10 mins. either yours was bigger or you were hung over lol:001_tt2: good job as usual mate:001_cool:
  10. heres the little gloria on her virgin run, we had never used it before so we are only putting through small straight stuff, that is the secret i think, make it as straight as possible before trying to chip. i work mostly with loppers and silky now tbh. i have chipped cony cuttings, ivy, beech, oak you name it. even clematis, loads of the stuff, i chopped it up with the hedge cutter on the lawn and shoved it through with conifer, never clogged once. all you have to do is make sure it has no bits in it when turning it off, i always let it run for about 30sec after chipping, brush out the hopper, give it a bit of a wobble then turn it off. we have had to open the side casing a couple of times and reverse the belts and take out bits of chip that have been caught on the anvil. but now we are wise for it, and even then it takes 5 mins to do this. no biggy.

  11. the on off switch gave me some jip and the choke was vibrating forward sometimes, i didnt even bother, i just stuck on a small bunjee and carried on, my dealer called me for a chat to see how i was getting on, when i mentioned this he said he would pick it up whenever i wanted and get it serviced and fixed for me, he reconed the choke just needed a new spring or just a little tighten as the machine had only ever ran once in the workshop before i bought it, great service, that alone is worth good money. And i know jonesie will offer an excellent service with the jobeau. we are having a carry on saying our is better than the other on the other thread but i know andy has been working chippers for years and wouldnt just say his is great if it wasnt as i wouldnt either.
  12. i am turning the blades this weekend, i have had the chipper about 6 weeks now, i looked at the blades yesterday and they were fine, but i did a cony today that must of had nails or something in it because it lost the edge quickly, still managed anything under 3 inch but on the 4 inch stuff it was just bouncing back, so we didnt force it. It is obvious from the comments on each machines owners that they cant fault their machines, which is great for the industry and individual user. i would never of beleived how good a small machine could be, we did 2 conifers in front garden today and just alternated wheely bins and tipped all the chip behind the customers old shed that was about 3 feet high in brambles, we cut them down and burried the lot of them, the customer was under no illusion that this was going to look awesome this time next year but it was out of sight out of mind and the area was just getting into a state and this way saved her 2ooquid on the whole job, we did about 40 bins in 90mins, loose filled and the chipper was near enough under the tree.
  13. one of my many deciples carried out his instruction well before you andy my boy:001_tt2:
