    So is there much of a difference between that and one used in a pto shaft ?
  2. combined tree services
    Exactly , something that I have always wondered why TW never used , the addition would then enable the use of a heavier flywheel with less strain on the engine/ drive system

    I have been using aluminium Bashlin spikes for almost ten years , along the was I have tried many different sets of spikes from traditional Buckinghams through to the alloy geco or recently the tree hog spikes but I can honestly say I have not found another set of spikes that are as comfy and well built. Also I think the positioning of the gaff and the angle of the gaff are what make the Bashlin so comfortable and useable . I have had the same set of spikes for 8 years and can't see me having to replace them within the next ten years ( except for bottom straps and gaffs ) Yes they are possibly the most expensive spikes on the market but when it comes to spending upto 8 hours a day in them I personally think that you get what you pay for and with that should come comfort

    I believe that they will do if asked to do so , personally I can't see how a belly plate can me classed as "guarded" when there are still plenty of chances to do damage to your fuel tank etc . It's a shame A.t Osborne are no longer doing any guarding ! Ours was guarded by them and honestly can not fault it
  6. combined tree services
    That's really unfortunate al but at least the damage is limited .

    I agree , we have ended up with a mixed bag of Chippers , we are now using a schliesing 200 which I have actually been really really impressed with . However it does weigh over 750 kg which limits who can tow it . Anyway back to the TW thread - I also think that a ratcheting clutch and slightly heavier flywheel would do the TW a world of good

    Was that advertised on the bay ? I'm fairly sure a had a gander at it

    I thing TW need to consider the feed aperture size , many brands have moved forward and accepted that a 6"x6" feed dimension is not sufficient . Ok in fairness it does not become apparent until you have used a machine the has a 6"x8" feed aperture and see how the amount of snedding prior to chipping and how little you have to reverse the feed rollers because the thorn branch still won't go through or how surprised you are then the bendy tangled up oak that normally will not let you chip it without a fight actually goes through with no grief what so ever - all of this leads to a lot of time being saved and therefore if the new TW was a little more expensive as a consequence I don't think people would mind . That being said the TW150 is not sold as a contractors machine so the chances of and game changing alterations are probably quite slim

    That's a fair call Hodge , we all have preferences and different kit meets with different peoples requirements

    Thanks Scott , I will give them a shout next week
  12. combined tree services
    I don't really agree , having used a schliesing 200mx ( classed as a 5.5 inch machine ) I would say that the throughput of a 150 is pretty lacking especially the amount of shedding that needs to be done to get any decent amount through it , the bearing are poor no matter how you look at it - who in their right mind puts bearings into a chipper that can not be greased ? And rotor bearings at that !!! I had a 190 that had its bearings go at 670(ish) hours even though it was never run on dull blades , it was used to capacity every day and according to my timberwolf dealer that was the reason why !!!
  13. combined tree services
    I'm looking to convert our 110 to a tipper . All that is holding this up is finding a decent tipper manufacturer that can build and supply a tipper for me to pick up bring back and fit !! Part of the problem is being down in cornwall and everywhere is a long journey I'm looking for a standard tipper with high sides and a roof but it's proving to be a nightmare to find anyone . Also what sort of money are they ? Any help or advice is much key appreciated
  14. combined tree services
    Nice looking truck :-)
  15. combined tree services
    You never know it may actually have decent bearing that you can grease . Oh and have a half credible output per hour
  16. combined tree services
    I modified/.made a new spout for a 190 purely to widen the spray area and to enable us to spray chip up onto banks . It didn't go down to well during a contractor safety assessment as it was not standard nor was it a manufacturers option - hence a slapped wrist

    Hi give these people a shout , they are spot on and level of training is second to none Mwmac :: Training
  18. combined tree services
    Tbh it depends on how well you want it guarded !! I have seen some from wilsons that only have a partial belly guard which if your taking it in the woods and using it for forestry is no good
  19. combined tree services
    We'll if you want a cheep 10" chipper I am thinking of selling my junkkari , it has been a cracking chipper and light which is always good on the back of a mog
  20. combined tree services
    If possible go for Michelins . They are not so good off road as continentals but last longer on the road , also continental are experiencing problems with their agg tyres cracking on the outside edge of the cleats . We have already returned 4 out of 4 tyres to be repaired my continental and still they have cracked again . Continentals also wear about twice as fast as Michelins .

    My thoughts and deepest sympathies go to you and your family . I can not begine to understand what you are going through but right now you have a little fighter for a grand daughter who I'm sure in time to come will bring smiles and happiness your way .

    Give tommer9 a shout I know he re sprayed his a couple years ago and got the paint locally
  24. combined tree services
    As far as I am aware equal does not mean identical , the tolerance for sharpening a chainsaw chain is greater than one would expect , if the tolerances were so small and detramental then I think you would find the sharpening system would be somewhat more technical and I would expect to see printed tolerances . But all of this is accedemmic in relation to industry standards and beginner experience . I would be extatic if every candidate that I assessed could get every tooth within 0.50 mm but it is just not realistic
  25. combined tree services
    Sorry I don't agree Nowhere does it state a tolerance nor does it state identical Filing the chain http://www.stihllibrary.com/pdf/SharpAdvice061301final.pdf
