<p>Hello there, He kept it for a short while and used it lightly, he liked it but sold it on fairly quickly. He then decided he needed another micro chipper and bought my old Greenmech GMR100 (older model of the CS100) and he declared it a much better chipper when compared to the Haecksler. V twin power of the Greenmech makes it a better buy and it has good ground clearance whereas the Haecksler has poor ground clearance. If it's all down to money then the Haecksler is value fer money but i'd prefer a used Greenmech over a new Haecksler any day.</p>

Problems cutting with the Stihl 1/4 pitch chain
wicklamulla replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Chainsaws
Reckon this is the answer above:thumbup1: I have the Stihl 150 cutting gear (10'' stihl chain and bar, 0.43) on my tiny Echo CS 2511 and get this sometimes. These tiny chains can't take too much stick compared to the heavier 0.50 gauge. -

yep i loike Troopers too. Ole skool stuff is kinda cool now.
-
fit the MS 201T chain catcher instead as it's a much heavier gauge alloy but is a direct replacement. The earth wire shud last a few years once replaced with a brand new one.

Black n' Amber, The cats. Don't really matter where as the feckers selling this 'booty' pop up all over the place.

wind up?

Echo CS 2511T with 10'' bar followed by either a CS 360T with 14'' bar or possibly straight onto a Husky 560xp with 18'' bar depending on the tree as Mick Dempsey says above. I then use a ported 365 special (non X Torq older model) with 24'' bar followed by a 394xp with 28'' bar or a 3120xp on a 40'' bar.

Here ya go Fred, I added this short loop to the hand grip to assist the stock tool attachment ring.

I reckon that'll be pre HDI too so even better.

I find mud terrain tyres really mess up my MPG on my pickup, allied to the chipbox it now needs filling up every 220 miles whereas on normal road type tyres it was 320 miles. Needs must etc.

Cheers folks, I'd better do some more reading on the subject and do a specific risk assessment based on his 'abilities/duties'. Normally with so few of us onsite we do a verbal risk assessment and discuss the method statement etc, but we don't actually document it unless we are on a commercial job or are requested to do so by a private/domestic client.

I might be bringing a lad along to a job this coming week to assist 2 other groundies . He is in Arb College at the moment. He won't be asked to use a saw (unless he has a ticket and wants to practice snedding out) or feed the chipper, but he will be asked to fill saws, drag brash etc. He is 16 years old so I assume i should check my insurances to ensure he covered etc. He will have the required PPE etc. Is there anything else I need to do before he comes onto site? Thanks, W
