In my experience running Farmi 260 chippers a good compromise speed is approx 800rpm. If possible have the blades hollow ground (the factory ones are hollow ground) as this reduces the power requirement substantially.

I have a brand new knife for the 6" mechanical log swift guillotine I'm not sure if it fits the bigger one. Pm me or ring on 02820732700.

If you are considering Husky go for the 435 as it is lighter than the 236 and more powerful and clutch etc is much better quality

I've found that Briggsbits are the best source of Briggs and Stratton parts.

Serra offer an operators cabin as an option on their mills. Wide band cuts a lot faster and more accurately.

Hi I worked for M. Large when they were importing the Lumbermate sawmills. You will have to pay duty (fom Canada) which used to be 7%, you will also have to pay vat before goods will be released by customs. You will also have transport to the docks at their end , customs clearance at his end plus transport from the docks. The biggest problem is CE marking which most US and Canadian companies will not have in place. You cannot legally sell machines which are not CE marked. Also if you ask someone to work with a machine which is not CE approved you will open a big can of worms with insurers if an accident occurs.

These are bonneted Merc trucks and are very rugged. When I worked in Saudia Arabia in the early 1980's they were very common. The six wheeled 3824 is a six wheeler with a chassis rated at 38 tonnes gross with 240hp .We got fertiliser deliveries in the desert with these and the normal load was 30tonnes. Considering that they probably weighed over 10 tonnes empty this was considerable overloading. They were nearly unstoppable . Normal practice in the hot weather was to prop the bonnet slightly open with a coke tin for extra cooling!!

Many years ago I worked in Saudia Arabia and we used the older FJ45 pickups. They were next to indestructible and regularly got hammered and abused both on and off road. Spares were easy to get and reasonably priced. The straight 6 petrol engine red lined at 4500rpm. One of our fitters replaced a blown up Nissan Patrol engine with a Toyota engine and it went on for years.

Found out at last!!! Yes I did work for M Large for over 9 years and looked after service back up and warranty on Hakki Pilkes, Thors, Lumbermates,Farmis etc.

Hi first make sure you are not running the machine faster than the correct rpm(see sticker on the front of the machine). Is the hydraulic oil to the correct level? Have you changed the hydraulic oil filter? It should be changed annually or more often if the machine is doing a lot of work. If after checking these things it is still running hot a worn splitter ram piston seal is probably the most likely cause of overheating. After that the automatic 2 speed valve may be faulty . You can pm me for more possible causes if this doesn't sort it. Do not continue to run the machine at too high a temperature or you will harden all the 'O' rings and seals, and wear the pump prematurely.

I have converted a tractor pto Thor 18 Tonne supermagic to electric. I used a 3 phase 11kW (15hp)electric motor(1450 rpm) and bought an off the shelf bellhousing and drive coupling and used the pump fitted to the machine. It works a treat and the customer is very happy with it. -
Hi I am about to fit a cylinder and piston to an early 272XP Huaqvarna(still running but very worn) . Got the kit from gardenhirespares, I'm not sure who the manufacturer is. The box is marked G.M. I have fitted Gilardoni and Tecomec in the past without problems. I wil let you all know how I get on.

Novotny are made in the Czech republic as far as I remember. They looked well made and of similar size to the Vimek.

If you are likely to collect the grass even some of the time the Husqvarna CTH182T is a much better option than the YTH.

Does any one Know how to adjust the brake band on these winches? Or does anyone have an operators manual with adjustment instructions?

I can second the Essential Arb opinion on the IFW show. We were exhibiting and found the organisers more than helpful. The attendance was good, we sold some machines off the stand, and spoke to hundreds of potential customers over the two days. The social side was also good, and seemed to be centred on Dooleys hotel. How the Gwynedd Axmen were able to cut anything on the Saturday is a miracle!!! Well done lads . Roll on 2013.

Just realised the phone no in the previous post is wrong should be 02820732700

Correct saw belts are XPA 882 for machines with 15 inch bars ( earlier machines) and XPA 850 for later 16inch bar machines. Early machines had aluminium pulleys which wear and then start devouring belts . These can be replaced with steel pulleys which give much better belt life. You can contact me on 0820732700 for service/spares info on these machines. Mitsuboshi belts generally give the best service life.

you will find them at Eschlböck Biber Holzhackmaschinen They are very highly regarded in Austria and Germany. the first one in the UK belongs to Nigel Dunn forest products. He is achieving more tons per hour on less fuel than with his previous chipper.

Some lift pumps (hand primer) have a gauze inside the top of the pump, also there are non return valves in some types in which dirt can lodge. The gauzes can be removed carefully and cleaned and reinstalled.
