:lol:problem sorted! turns out that the 530 t (not 540t as previously said) had been fitted with the wrong hydrolic pump which made the revs run slighty lower. silly billys

must be a friday afternoon built machine. His 530 is awesome, properly rips stuff through!! thats why he is a bit dissapointed
-
could be!! there has been plenty of thinks fallen off it!! nuts and bolts and the like lol!

i think he has tried that and not much difference. i think it something to do with the hydrolic feed from the tracks.

Anyone else having problems with the speed of the rollers on the 540t? Working for a guy who has just bought a brand new machine and isnt happy with the roller speed. The company that sold him the machine have told him that it is set at the optimum chipping speed . After using the machine i find that if i had spent over 20k i would expect the rollers to run a tad faster. Any tips on adjustment?

Zermat boots or Meindle airstreams ??
grantdude replied to combined tree services's topic in General chat
Had a pair of the meindl airstreams , for about 14 months the most comfortable footwear ever worn , even wore them when not working. Awesome for climbing and very waterproof when i save up i will buy another pair. My emergency second pair of hiax are dropping to bits and taking on water!!! -
Just passed the certified arborist exam and hungry for more!! what is the highest qualification in arboriculture I can achieve by home study. Coz working full time will not allow me the chance to go to college.

So its been well over four years on my austria pro II and a good two years on my new england. Both need seriously changing!! spike marks, burns, loose stitching!! Like the look of the imori rope and the komiri harness , friction chord not quite sure. Any suggestions? many thanks grant:001_smile:
-
well, im using a petzl at the moment which i have no problems with only the fact that its done a few 100,000 miles and needs retiring. From everybody's kind advice i think i will stick to what i know.( The Steins do look cool though!!)
