    yeah i'd like to go the diesel route one day possibly, but at the moment the little petrol can take lots that i throw at it!! seen a few bits that need attention like the exhaust has a hole in the bottom, just spotted today lol i thought about possibly stripping it in the winter getting it blasted and painted as my uncle is a car painter its a cracking chipper for the money i have in it and it enables me to earn a wage etc and is paying its way

    I'm just wondering where i can get some spares for my vermeer 620i chipper? Struggled for a while to get an air filter for it! but managed to get one the other day, Are the parts just vermeer only? i'll be on the lookout for a new drive belt soon i think as the adjuster is on full and there is still a lot of slack in the belt... Is there anywhere i can find maintainance tips for the chipper and belt tensions etc? This is my first chipper and want to keep on top of it so it will last me a while Any advice and help appreciated

    Any help with this?? struggling

    good shout

    true..... but the belts will slip or the engine would stall due to the wood blocking the blades must have tried it a fair few times to do that to the belt though, before investigating properly buy a fresh belt and keep as a spare till that goes
  9. swinny
    yes, i am now of the opinion of this, once i've made some money this year and see how it goes, there will be a fresh chipper next year on the horizon hopefully

    Your in my neck of the woods..... i found it very hard to get a chipper anywhere near us! i had to travel down to bristol to get mine..... i looked at gravity fed machines..... but i managed to get a vermeer 620i instead for reasonable money keep searching something will pop up

    well had a couple of quotes and have had an information pack sent through..... its silly how they make you look for what your actually covered for instead of pointing it out and for the money it doesn't look like you get much...... exemptions and limitations rubbish.... nothings clear lol

    Evening all i've recently purchased a long handle hedge trimmer stihl one, it has a fs85 engine so its obvioursly had an engine change or a new cover on it.... sometimes its slow to pick up... and i've tried adjusting the one carb adjustment screw to no effect.... is there a factory setting for these? i'm going to strip it and clean it all but wanted to set the carb so it picks up nice and crisp cheers chris
