    i love to see old motors still being used and abused, not a fan of the restore back to better than it came out of the factory look, at least it shouldn't blow a fuse now eh? does current still pass through the wiring? Ed.

    you guys worry too much, its a machine engine running on red for next to nowt, if anything the extra weight of the flywheel will help the engine rotate smoother? and the bearings will be replaced when they go and im not worrying about them, hourcounter? its still a low hour machine so maybe running this on low revs will help bed the engine in rather than the usual warmup and full revs routine? i have no plans for selling it anytime soon so will keep modding till it looks like it belongs on pimp my chipper:thumbup:

    :thumbup:big blowtorch, i'd use a old set of hedgetrimmers and either scaffold or mewp

    no it gets through even tough stuff at tickover, not too slow either, it does go a bit faster at higher rpm but im scared of losing bodyparts by rushing:blushing: as for price, if the woman sees this she will go spare.. £750-supply/build, £180-hydraulic components inc fitting:thumbup1:
  12. armchairarborist
    it will be getting attached to the chipper as soon as i get another tow hitch for the back of the chipper:thumbup:, tinnywolf haha, thinking of fitting some spotlights to it for the winter early blackout:thumbup:
  13. armchairarborist
    no sorry, camera has had a few days awol in the truck and its dark now:blushing:, think Andy has some pics of it working so he might put them up?
  14. armchairarborist
    oh it runs on the chipper hydraulics:thumbup: via quick release couplings:biggrin:
  15. armchairarborist
    fed up with breaking axes, got fellow arbtalker Andy (treequip)to build it to my spec:thumbup: and its brilliant, gave it a testrun on Andy's logpile and split 2cube in 25mins, thanks Andy:thumbup1: can't wait to beast through my log pile:thumbup:

    its free here, just fill in the right forms and send to the right office and they let the emergency services etc re-route as well as rescheduling to not have too many works in one area etc, as rupe says in emergency the police come in very handy:thumbup1:.. as do stoppy boards and landrovers, logs, groundies and brash:thumbup:, however imo temp traffic lights just encourage them to speed up:thumbdown:

    also check security of the two bolts holding each end of the roller in place, they can get loose..
  18. armchairarborist
    if it is then its deffo a south-yorkshire thing, there should be regulations against serving it to comers in..
  19. armchairarborist
    :011:gave me a headache just watching, madhead..
  20. armchairarborist
    beastly haha, if in cutting firewood i use ms460 with 16inch bar, mmm:thumbup1:
  21. armchairarborist
    some fair thought has gone into the design of that beast, useless at night (lights pointing at front wheels), useless in rain/wet roads (turn wheels slightly to get a face full of wheel wash), useless upsidedown (would remove top half of head), nice heated garage though?
  22. armchairarborist
    ok but you go first this time:001_tt2:
  23. armchairarborist
    :thumbup:can we have one longer than 20ft this time?
  24. armchairarborist

  25. armchairarborist
