Are they coming with the sugihara bar as well now then? Not a massive fan of that chain tbh, have snapped one and they are dull when brand new
-
Don't forget to get s stihl 500i off them as doing an offer for a free one if order a chipper this month!
-
Have you tried the st6p? I'm curious if there's much difference
-
I've got the st6p. Very good machine, not convinced in the slightest about this 24hp that forst and GM are using now tbh. 37hp petrol has to be a better option, and cheaper to buy
-
What's the price of the 18hp one thesedays then as was only a few hundred more than that?
-
The wording makes it sound like you need to give the saw an oil change. Whoever made that has zero idea how a saw works

Had to chuckle at their Instagram post recently
-
That's the one I have, very solid for on site, imagine a cordless grinder would get through it with a bit of time overnight. They come up on eBay quite a bit, got mine for £50
-
I like that British racing green colour
-
What's he ever said derogatory? One of the nicer guys on here imo -
That's obviously worth the switch. Don't know if it's the same petrol engine though as I went from 35hp diesel Kubota to 37hp petrol and haven't noticed extra fuel use. Plus I use pump fuel as nowhere to store red so the petrol is cheaper, plus the chipper is £2k cheaper than the diesel so makes sense
-
Are diesels on big machines really that much better at hours per gallon? My chipper is no worse than a diesel
-
stump grinder engines go on one pot cos of the angle they work at. I replaced an engine on my rayco last year (a 1997 one.. original engine) last year and cost about £1200 for a brand new engine, not a big deal really! dont forget petrol engines in cars can do 200000 miles no prob! half hour chipping a day is nothing
-
I looked into reviews of the engine before getting a petrol chipper and the 37hp enging they using has been clocking up 2000 hrs + on lawn tractors etc in america with no issues. Just as good as a diesel imho

Advice from business owners who full time employ staff

buy yourself a bugnot and a panel van and track it in to gardens, can be a one man pallet destroying machine -
ive got these ones which I use to drive a rayco rg25 onto a transit, I wouldnt want to try with anything heaver though tbh as they flex a bit but the light weight and fold down nicely, but these guys have a good range. I'd go for a heavy duty non folding pair for the bandit https://www.theramppeople.co.uk/folding-loading-ramps-trp615-pair-2750mm-long-280mm-wide

$10000 for a bitcoin when this thread started, $3500 today and still plummeting and still not in use in any of the predicted retailers
-
Hope so. Got the sugihara bar and chain on it at the mo, find the chain dull when they are brand new and doesn't seem to oil properly and getting a Stihl chain off the shelf from any dealer is a bonus

ordered one of those panther bars so look forward to giving it a go -
wasnt planning on getting anything but saw chainsawbars was doing a bit off so grabbed a new sugihara bar for my 201 and one of the panther bars to try out on my echo 2511
-
£8ph, thats ridiculous! nd i think £120 a day for a climber is very reasonable! I happily pay £150+ for a decent climber
-
i completed the 200t kit yesterday, havent fired it yet but will do some vids and pics when its running and can review it properly
-
I know several people with the exact same story. Money is taken, no communication, then weeks later told out of stock after chasing them. I personally ordered a chipper anvil that said was in stock, about 3 weeks it took after a call 2 weeks after ordering. Oil and chains I've had no bother with, but no way would I use them for a time sensitive order

point and laugh

just remembered pedestrians too! another job where had taped off an alleyway, loads of layers of it, the alley was filled with brash and some muppet starts climbing over it having torn the tape down, while branches still dropping! one lad had to physically stop him and escort him back and redo the tape
