  10. Snapped off more like when stop bar on chipper clouted something lol
  11. Anyone know the correct terminology for this part please? Output thread is M10. Operates valve block. Tried spool lever, spool block assy Cheers
  12. Ian what's that screw splitter like on the little digger? Considering one for mine. Cheers Chris
  13. Problem is with 300hp tractors is they weight 8-12t.... power to weight will be shite. then a fancy gearbox that will drain hp for fun. I know what your saying about wagons though. Is it just gearing at the end of the day
  14. Cheers, I'll give them a bell tomorrow
  15. Cheers, just had a look and no stat on there! Gutted. Good resource for service bits though thanks. I believe it to be a mitsubishi engine in this digger so might have to start searching that way. Cheers
  16. I read it as you don't need to climb on two lines...... Can continue as is but need a back up safety line in. Safety line imo is for backup and decent. Not needed for accent.
  17. Does anyone know if there are any companies online where I can get some Volvo digger parts? I currently only need a thermostat and have struggled online. Are there some places that do several makes of digger parts etc? Cheers
  18. Just wondering where people buy their proper stump grinder guards from? They all seem stupid brass for what they are. Think they come as 3 screens as a setup? Would want to get 6 screens all together so 2 sets. Sick of crap flying for miles! We currently use some hinged plywood and may just have to make some more up if can't find some right ones for reasonable money. Many thanks
  19. Wonder if these be any good for breaking down over sized stems cut to 1m lengths? Like 3-4' diameter pieces to be broken down for the processor?
  20. AHH but it's the brush and shovel and shifting shit that wears you down you know lol
  21. I'm a lot younger than you Mick and even I'm tired just thinking about it. Surprises me how many of the lads on here want the blast through every job 100mph. Not sustainable
  22. I'd be on a tw190 or a Jensen a540. Would t have another tw230. Least with a 190 it's easy to refurb chip chamber. The bottom of chip chamber on a Jensen is HYD tank which the metal wears and you can get HYD oil in chip chamber at high hours 2000 plus I've seen both with big hours on though. Jensen feed rollers be bigger diameter opening I think whereas the tw190 is square. I was on a site a few years back and working with my Jensen a530 and another team with a tw190 and us and the Jensen out performed the other team all day
  23. I still run an fs400.... It's a 1999 model! Can site for 6 months and still fire on first pull. Bloody good they are. New stuff not sure. But if I wanted another strimmer it'd be a second hand fs400 off ebay
  24. Powers that be.... Please elaborate Bob cheers
