Nor mine- either of them. Sorry.

Yeah it is fairly doable either way. The kit from vermeer uk is around the 1500 mark if i recall, but i have seen 2 chippers with 'home-made' set ups. Both emplyed a simple system of a hydraulic valve under the feed hopper (the 620 already has a box under there which could be swapped for a spool valve) and a latch in the bar, which necessitates 2 handed release, which is basically the requirement for HSE. With one hand you release the catch, and with the other you put the bar back to the 'in' position and carrry on working.

What else are you wanting to know? They are pretty simple machines, and really havent got much to go wrong. As far as i know these courses dont exist, but Arbtalk should have most bits covered- check out Dean Lofthouses latest vid about carb rmoval on a 200t for example.

poultry and duck farms use tonnes of the stuff. Smokeries also if it is not mixed up with softwoods, as long as you only use water to cool the blade.

Farm sales are good places to buy tractors. A few years ago I saw a VRY tidy john deere h reg 100hp with loader and attachments go for £1900!!! That is probably a bit of an extreme example, but stuff usually goes a bit cheaper than usual.
-
I see shed loads of that stuff Tony.

Big dogs runing loose. The gypos wont even get out of their vans when they come to my yard (2 labs and a mastiff).
-
Reset the carb, its running too rich.
-
Incredible isnt it. If it was my ad, that would be 2 people immediately wiped off the list.

Tractor and loader. Cheap telehandlers are a waste of money that will cost you an absoloute fortune. A tractor and loader is a VERY versatile tool, handlers are very limited, unless you buy the manitou or merlo farm machines with 3pl etc, but they are exceedingly expensive.

My mate used to work on boats all round the world. When he had first started, and was, in his own words a 'bit green' he was working in Brazil, redoing work that the locals had got wrong....the point is, the locals were cuttin curved handrails out of hardwood slabs, wearing flipflops (de-rigeur in brazil) and shorts, and 3' bars with the chains so loose you could have got your hand in between the bar and chain lol. He pointed this out, and how dangerous it was, and they laughed at him, telling him that you cant cut round corners with a tight chain:lol:

Its a fairly dangerous activity, you can hydraulic the engine, which is terminal. Although probably not if you just put a gallon in a tank full. However, in the long term you will bugger your engine.

Yes, thanks for the update. Sounds quite encouraging too.
-
Another informative, useful, and clearly presented video. Nice one Dean.
-
Only one thing- is it smooth on tickover, but a dog on full/ high revs?
-
100% agree.

du Plessis is a very common surname in S.A.

-
They were pretty old hazels, that had been coppiced in the past and then left go.
-
Haha brilliant!!
-
What a nightmare mate. Gutted for yah!
-
Thanks guys.
-
I have a stupid long draw bar, the one with a couple of dirty great knuckly bits on it. How old is yours? Is it a bigger machine then?
-
Ah i see where you are coming from, and sorry- I hope i didnt come over the wrong way:blushing:, and yeah- a grab would be better for making big neat stacks:thumbup: Go for a 13 tonner I would then, just that bit more weight and stability etc for moving unwieldy bits of wood about:thumbup1:

I think the first 3 are g.adspersum, here on hazel (IIRC), plus a little parasol type of affair (dont know what) and some white brackets on a rotten stump, taken very quickly whilst stopped in a lane!!
