Not broke but hanging on by a thread. Ffs! Hopefully be able to find a company to sort me a pressure plate out

I know flat out the machine runs 2600rpm or so the old display said..... I will start on this guesstimate route 😀

If I remove the alternator is it easier to work out? I've not a clue what I'm looking for .... anyone help? Many thanks

Just getting round to this now.... and I've taken covers off and found that my Alternator pulley is 70mm and the crank is 140mm PPR = P x R /2 “P” is the number of poles in the alternator. “R” is the pulley ratio. Determine the pulley ratio by dividing the crank pulley diameter by the alternator pulley diameter So my r value is 2.... How do I work out how many poles on this alternator? It's the last piece of the puzzle lol 😆 helllllllpppppp 😀

Where's that video showing the dipsticks that work for glendales fell a tree next to transit that falls on the transit? I've seen another where a lad chogs a big bit off it cart wheels off and takes out a brick pillar... Kinda sums the intelligence of some of the workers up there for me...... Where are your team leaders and good staff? Surely you can't just be sending out a van full of newbies to every job?

Lad on fb imports them think it's Rob Taylor, Eden Valley machines and something cladding .... in his name.... Worth a shot

The ladder thing is more for trimming really. And your right about top of a ladder and cutting etc. Some will say occupational hazard etc It was a shit grueling job but you got to the end. Each one will be different. Some will be a piece of piss walk through the top. You will find also ones that have been repeatedly topped and or trimmed, the middles start rotting and snap under your foot! Conifer hedges are shit end of! Lol 😆

Yes and sooner you cut a space clear for your self more room to move.... also clear a good path to throw shit out as nowt more frustrating than things hanging up!

Yup been there 😆

Conifer hedge reductions are a shitty job esp the big ones.... you get in the middle and go ffs why am i here.... you just have to crack on and get to the end of it. I learnt years ago the more you winge about a task the less gets done. Crack on and get it finished.

There is always folk that will not be happy with the task at hand and always think there are better ways. The owner of the company will most likely have a lot more experience than said staff and will have assessed the best way to do the job, access requirements and time to do the works. Sometimes a bollock can be dropped. You cannot inspect every inch of the hedge and take it as it is what it is.... If you have to bang a ladder in the side to get it done just do it..... a hedge like that will be quite wide so in places the ladder going into the hedge is gna help you reach the back. One other thing is to put a plank accross top of ladder also to stop it sinking in. I've surfed many a wobbly fat wide beech hedge on top with 2 ladders lol cutting off one, going to another and so on. This was just for trimming purposes though. Mewps for this are a pita.... and costly. cutting with a gypsy stick then fishing the bits out is shit on the arms and ages to fish stuff out and generally leave crap in there. scaffold? no thanks. The lads did a good job by the looks of it but sour milk comes to mind with this post working ontop of a ladder against hse and I'm on a day rate for employer only.... Sorry just how i see it. Lads did good in the time they were there! good finish and from pics 3 days looked good. Just unfortunate for them it was whispy in places

Some jobs are just what they are. WHy were you fannying around with a silky? Thats cut and chuck with a top handle saw work.

Hi everyone, Just thought I'd post on here if anyone has a bigger old stump grinder knocking about even if it needs some work that they would be willing to sell? Currently running 252 vermeer so want something with more hp and punch and speed and weight! Looking for least 35hp plus, even a towable one etc bigger the better. Just thought I'd throw it out there

Who through though? And what sort of brass? This is a 4m40l 74hp..... looks about 1500 quid to rebuild top end just materials

I know what you mean about engines etc! All crappy sensors and electrics etc! My engines getting worn on this as its knocking non and bought it second hand. Considered a swap for another unit but may end up just a top end rebuild on this at some point. Love the simplicity of air cooled, first I've ever had. Currently there's not masses of second hand machines about and prices are strong. Saw a bandit 90 recently 2016 600 hrs.... so will have some electricity with it and sensors etc.... it weighed 450 kg more than mine! And was 27k plus vat strong money for me personally. It'll not do the job 20k better than mine. Can't go back anyhow to little chippers so the old git be here to stay or swapped for another big dinosaur at some point lol 😆 Never seem drum chippers etc so far in flesh. No one round here has one and no body talks to each other. Looking forwards to the Apf to open up my eyes as to what I've been missing out on for years lol 😆

I can see insurance point but typical twats wi going about us just getting on with job.... long as all the bullshit in the method statement and risk ass then surely covered? They only really ask about hazardous sites and motorways.... Should people inform them whe they do a crane job? It's like them saying you xan only go round the house.... not over, under or through lol 😆

Air-cooled hatz 4 cylinder diesel 74hp

Bet its via dragging branches etc, door frames, front if internal doors, maybe wallpapered or painted etc..... I've done a few through the house removals and they are a ball ache.... I clearly state on quote that the customer is responsible for sheeting up and making sure all is covered to their satisfaction..... and make them realise the volume of material that needs to come through the house.

It's quite old and getting worn in a few areas so was wondering what there was for reasonable value out there.... this machine would be worth throwing a few k at easily but seeing what's what. I may end up having to do so yet. Still usable and out every day though

For me and my business model i figured out ages ago that these little stumps and crap access jobs were not worth doing..... I specifically bought a small machine (bandit hb20n) for them and it was a pita! Was not really a money earner for me. Sold it on. I've run an old vermeer 252 for years and if I can't get in I'm not bothered.... and some of the jobs where you needed a small grinder, I was thankful I couldn't get in! Good luck in your search

Hi there, Can anyone enlighten me as to other chippers out there, equivalent and or next size up etc from the bandit 90? Trying to see if I continue with said machine or go for a slight upgrade within reason! I like second hand and don't have the need for the latest model etc happy with old but usable.... Also if anyone knows the weight of these? Trying to find the balance between size production and weight. Think current bandit 90 is approx 1950kg so not bad for what it is. Currently has a decent sized roller box though hopper is quite small.i think! But the top roller open and crush is great. Many thanks

Ty your going to have to pull your finger out and buy one soon. You've been debating for ages and I dare say your a lot older than me so do your body and wallet a favour and just buy one..... You'll kick yourself after and realise how muchnof a walley you've been for not buying one sooner lol 😆

I thought all flywheel rings were replaceable and heated up then dropped on? That's me thinking genetically

I like that and just pull a.pin out.... Good stuff.... I'm going to drop a safetrac chute in at the fabricators soon to get made into a folding one!

Yeah. Going to try this next week. Thanks Also have a look at the intercooler.... it may have put part oil in this also. Mainly down the exhaust though
