Think I'll follow the steps in the post from Mike Hill in the hope that it can be fixed. Failing that I'll probably just get another one

It continues to run but as there's obviously a problem I usually stop it and give up. Then yes it will clear but the same thing happens again. Sometimes it works fine for a couple of jobs but then another day I get this problem.

All checked and ok. It's driving me nuts - as I said one day it works perfectly and then a week later it doesn't. Taken it to be fixed a couple of times and it worked ok when I got there 😩 It's a bloody joker

That was the first assumption. Apparently no problems there - no moisture and always keeping tank full to avoid this. Not sure about debris in the tank - is it easy to tell ?

Mixture of white and grey really but not black

Pretty sure it's a Kabota engine

Just wondered if anyone has any ideas ! Over the last couple of years I continue to have the same problem with the 6inch chipper. Worst thing about it is that it's intermittent One day it's fine and then 2 days later it throws out smoke and indicates a fuel problems. I've probably spent thousands going backwards and forwards to have it fixed. I think almost every part has been replaced and still the problem keeps happening. It's got to the stage that neither I or the Chipper Services can sort it out and it's costing me a small fortune. I always keep it full of fuel to eliminate any posiblity of water in the fuel. Anyone got any thoughts on this one

What's the usual daily rate for a groundsman ? Also for a gardener. I appreciate experience comes into this but just interested in what might be considered standard.

Thanks to you all - I've got plenty to work on now. Your humour is greatly appreciated - think that's what keeps us sane. They better not come back !!!

Hi, Garage was broken into overnight on Thursday 22nd - pretty much all the good stuff gone :( They certainly knew what they were looking for - the few items left needed attention. Broke in through bottom of garden in the dead of the night - evil scumbags. In the process of getting some security i.e. lights etc. Can anyone recommend something not too complicated that has an alarm good enough to scare the devil ?? Maybe something that works off sensors. Would be grateful for any advice. Sy

Thanks Giles - that's exactly what I'm planning to do subject to the client agreeing.

That's ok - none taken:biggrin: It's good to know you're all out there willing to give the benefit of your experience to others. I've been doing land management and tree surgery for 5 to 6 years but learn something new every day. Many thanks from one dude to another:cool1:

Presumably the client had to pay for all the professional work to be done!
