You're defensing the indefensible mate. An air filter should't have holes in it, much less be made of such crappy material that the engine draws it in rather than stalls if it can't pull air through for any reason. Not like it was old either, at 100 hours. Is it a GreenMech specific part or OEM from the engine manufacturer? Shaun- I stand corrected. You need to keep running it until all the filter medium has been sucked into the engine and just the wire cage remains. Only then will the filter be properly run in and able to do it's job of protecting the engine. ?

That’s on a par with Cautrac telling me a cartridge oil filter is washable. Unbelievable. Don’t listen to the muppets above shaun. ID the engine and get a decent replacement filter. Then invoice them for it. Also check that there are no restrictions in airflow to the filter box. To suck the medium out of a filter means a shitty filter or the engine struggling to draw enough air.

You can’t get 900mm chisels for them as far as I know. I had to make mine, and it was still rubbish. Air jackhammer knocks the spots off any electric one down a hole.
-
Buy new and you know that it's not been abused, so you can then rely upon it.

Archer are utter shit. Rotatech are pretty good in my experience- well worth the saving over Stihl.
-
The Erbauer one is pleasant to use, way better than the Titan. Anti vibe is much better- not Hilti good but it's a tenth of the price. Loads of chisels available if it's just concrete breaking you want it for. Way to heavy in my book to be trying to poke it down a fencepost hole.
-
That looks piss poor. Raise the issue in writing with your dealer ASAP so it's on record. Realistically it's unlikely to have done any damage. Soft filter medium will have burnt up and as you've discovered the issue early on (and outer filter is in place?) there's not been any chance for abrasive dust to enter the engine for a prolonged perios and cause wear.

Worried about cypress gettingg brown and dying
doobin replied to Paola's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Yup. It looks awful, start over with something nicer. -
No public demand. The public just want the tree gone and they don’t care how. Some will say, oh how wonderful, when you show them your battery saw, but they won’t pay extra. you might be able to win some trendy urban council work when they have a budget to spend up but that’s about it. Thought you were doing a degree in arborculture, not Greta studies...

Trouble with emergency schemes like this is that it’s simply impossible to means test the whole working population. Plenty of mail order companies will have seen turnover increase, yet they will still be receiving grants.

I remember one of my first digger jobs was to bury a pony.

Think gray git has a set on a bobcat. watching thread with interest.

Call AVS at Milford and book a collection slot, they’re still open but by appointment only. Around £25-30 I would think. usually I have a couple dozen at my yard but not currently.

Made a pretty decent job of that site in just three hours. Lack of lift height and reach are the killers on a micro, especially loading the fire. It’s also awkward to activate the aux pedal- my knee was hurting by the end. Modification needed. In its defence, it’s all that would fit through the gate, it did it a lot faster than I thought, and it handled carrying the bramble bundles in high speed without struggling at all! Most of all, it made money, £470 for half a day. Just as well as it’s the first time it’s been out the shed for two months.

At 85l/m for a 9.5, id say they excel at flow rate also ?? Sounds like you need a bigger ram to take advantage of this flow rate. essentially it looks like the log splitter is underspecced for the carrier.
-
I’m really surprised at that. MultiOne machines have pretty good flow. If it’s running out of oomph it’s most likely pressure rather than flow. What’s the machine relief valve set at? This is of course assuming that the actual ram is a decent size.

All I could fit through the garden and into the wood area behind! Better than nowt.

Very interested in stump grinder. I love my e10, just loaded it into the tipper with the grapple on ready for a day of bramble pulling tomorrow, will try to remember to take pics. I highly recommend a ripper tooth for them.

He said it was an arb company. What arb company last year would have been supplying hand sanitiser or disenfectant wipes?

Name and shame mate.

My accountant has them by April usually but I still have to chase the bugger!

Because January is the deadline and how many times do you read of the HMRC system crashing in January cause everyone waits till the last minute? ?

I have a 6 ton vertical jobby here, capacitor box all burnt out. I've the live and neutral from the plug going to a switch, and a live and neutral coming from the switch. From the motor, I have a pair of live and a pair of neutral. How they join a two wire capacitor is a burnt out mystery.... Do I just join red switch wire to one red motor wire (and black to black) and then piggy back the new capacitor onto the 'spare' red and black wires from the motor? This makes sense to me but I'm much better with a welder than electrics.

It leaked diesel out the top when you primed it but still built pressure. A very odd one. No warning, it just wouldn't start for ten seconds after a quick stop and the drove a few hundred metres, stopped, started eventually then a few more hundred metres, stopped and had to be towed. Each time it died it flashed the glow plug light which it's never done before, but nothing saved in the code memory.

Just had this last week on an LDV with 2.4 Duratorq- was air getting into the fuel line via the filter housing. I had no fault codes either, which was bloody annoying and defeats the object of an EML!
