I believe so but i never really pass the dealer much, just kept on going with my older saw and went out and purchased a second hand good con 201t non m tronic. Been flogging that to death since and its been fine.... doesnt always cut out at idle and the air filter cover stays on unlike the new ones.... my 550xpg sounds rough nowadays also, old 361 sounds as good as new

Dodgy fuel solenoid on a 2016 201tcm.... was piddled off with it so its been in bottom of box for a year... prefer the non mtronic stuff to be honest

Yes Josh the tw230 will wipe the floor with the a530 thus my pencil sharpener quote lol. I have both and not many like using the 530 with sloping hopper. The tw230 mashes everything but I worry about how long it will last. I would upgrade from the tw230 to something better made but what is there? Nothing

Id advise you look into forsts a lot further before taking a leap.... jensen have always been rediculous on new price. Do you regret selling the a530 now? surely cheaper to buy a 2-3 yr old a540? Think its hard to find something. In the 6-8” bracket that suits nowadays

Interested to see how it all pans out

People sold a pipe dream by bullshitters on internet ? plough your own furrow. buy what suits you and your business

You see a lot of people buying these big machines then constantly touting for work for them... like they had to have it but cant afford it or havent the work suited to it

Funny you should ask about this as i have been considering changing my tw230 tow behind and the pencil sharpener that is the a530t not sure what the best move would be.... probs go down to one chipper

Good luck Don, whats the crack with the foot then? Mines like that but been like that for years think was due to an accident i had. You must do a lot for Aspect

Found out what to do Mick https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1791442410879445&id=517154868308212

I want a better understanding so I can show the lads how to do it also / supervise. Like to be safe and on top of the job. I wont be using it for match sticks either so want to know more about loads and breaking strains etc

Based north west

Kellfri grabs spot on

Hi there, Does anyone know of anywhere that runs a course on assisting fells and skidding with a tractor and winch. We have cs32 and know about assited fells etc but I want to further my knowledge with working more closely with machinery. May end up having to tagg along with an arbtalker for the day in the woods to watch and learn if cannot fond a course. If i can find someone to take me for the day ? Cheers Chris

I like the yellow jackets... hard wearing and good teeth. my vermeer came with the original pro? Teeth the ones like a parrots beak! Swapped them straight away for yellow jackets. Straight swap all bolt holes line up. Buy pockets and teeth direct from vermeer who i find good to deal with. You can go for green teeth and get 3 sides of the tooth if you want but to me a yellow jacket seems a tougher sturdier tooth (i have used both types in different grinders)

Sorry but its 4 years on assets look on gove website says it clearly

My scantolini body doesnt half do some creaking! Periodically just use wd40.... not greasable on the rear hinge either.... shite design

Must get on and get something sorted myself.... Not sure what yet.... most likely buy a property to rent out will see.... Times moving on though! keeps getting put on the back burner

No one ?

I may be looking to change my stump grinder in the new year... Currently use a vermeer sc252 which is a belting machine! Just let down by being 35" wide!! I like to do a proper grind, and grind the whole stump out. Im not a 4-6" below turf person.... Bit concerned about the weight of some of the grinders with regards to if needed to go over paving etc.... like the predator 28/38 etc Dont mind a wheel'd one but tracks may also be ok... Please if you are going to recommend a grinder, please be honest about it and its abilities..... The bandit zt.... only grinds to 12" deep, not going to take out the full stump unless i start digging the grinder in..... then the engine will be running on a big angle oil to one pot and not the other as far as i see... I've done huge stumps with the vermeer and even with its grinding depth of 16-18" im constantly digging the thing in to get that bit lower. Whats a short list I should look at? Carlton 4012? predator 28-38 Anything else? Some of the bandit 2250n look ok but hyd head must draw power from these... and always for sale with low hours on Cheers

I’ll be having to stick a set of cooper at3’s on my ranger in the new year

Ffs John ?

That kind of thing just the ticket for me to dabble my toes into winching

Just fancy start small and un complicated. Then build up as experiance builds up

Happy Christmas everyone
