Got a number for him? As I understand it it’s not just a remap on that vintage- you’d need new turbo and inter cooler as they are not common rail.
-
Looks shit to me. I'd be after a refund.
-
And more rust. Tip the body, check the crossmembers, 3 way tip models were particularly bad.
-
They’re cheap enough to test a few methods with for sure.
-
That tooth looks halfway back, and it doesn't look like you've taken the rakers down? If so that'll be your problem! Might just be my eyesight though, the gap also looks OK.

Could just be the carb, a simple fix. Could also be low on compression, ie. buggered. You need to exmplain more what you mean by a lack of power. Where in the UK are you, there might be someone near you.

Those with RHI grants on wood drying kilns will be laughin all the way to the bank.. AGAIN! -
If it's asbestos then big money just in disposal.

I'd make them sign a disclaimer before I did anything. And if they look even slightly like chancers, walk away.

Don't hesitate to buy a CBN wheel. Never used a chain grinder but the difference CBN made to my drill bit sharpening was night and day. The slowness is probably due to wheel heat burring the edge slightly. I had exactly the same issues with sharpening drill bits freehand, and CBN solved all my woes. Never need dressing either. The real pros tool.

That’ll teach cpl to sell wet wood!! ?? How will they police this??? An unexpected small bit of common sense though- an exemption for sales of more than 2 cube wet wood, presumably for home seasoning. -
Try a torque stick on your impact wrench. Best of both worlds.

The chinese ones with the engine on the same level as the drum are all a couple of bolts to flip the spout up and unblock. Mine likes Leylandii as it's pretty straight- just need to be careful on really leafy stuff as this is the time when it will block, as it gets the the soft leafy bits once it's chewed the wood up. Throws it OK, looses a bit nearer to the machine on leafy stuff as mentioned above, but then I think they all do that. They all work on exactly the same principle. I don't use it all the time though. Never seen one of the 'pro' drum chippers in the flesh so can't say if they're worth double the money, they could well be if you use it every day.
-
Bloody hell mate, sounds like you know more about it than the Ford dealers Pete's been having so many issues with!? Glad I run an older Ranger.
-
I wouldn't pay the extra for a DR chipper. The garden machinery places just recommend what they sell, and they exist solely for customers like yours..... Briggs engines are no better than a Chinese honda in my experience, probably less reliable all told. That design looks a bit dated too- a top chute makes it possble to chip into bins etc.
-
What Dan said. The 13/15HP Chinese type will be fine for what he wants. It'll keep him busy snedding nasty thorn so it actually feeds but unless he spends pro money on a pro machine with feed rollers, that's going to be the case with all small chippers.
-
You beauty! Thanks mate. Ordered. Takes my total wee chipper spend up to 1k ex vat, but still.... I've only used it on about six jobs in six months, don't want to get too spendy! That spout will make a real difference.
-
Got a massive one down near Petersfield, can put you in touch with the bloke if you like. Take your pick, 10cm to 150cm....
-
read the question again.... This soloution could have merit if he was to run a second line from something like the offset, the diverter giving him a second proportional aux off the foot pedal. However he should be able to get a smooth controlled flow with the right valves, and he only needs one aux.
-
If it makes you money thats all that matters! I might see how much they want for a replacement spout, probably cheaper than fabbing a swivel one myself.
-
Looks the same as my £900 Chinky jobby but with a swivel spout and Honda engine.
-
Do some research into ceramic or CBN wheels. You can overheat anything if you rub it for long enough with a clogged up disc.
-
Looks like a standard Group 3 pump. Hydraulic megastore or Flowfit should sort you out for under £150 I reckon. You should be able to work out the displacement from measuring and comparing to their charts if the codes on the back don't do it.
-
I'd be bloody surprised if it will pull like an MS241. I say pull, obviously it's still a small saw but for the size and weight it's a right ripper on a picco bar.
-
You need an alarm that rings you, plus lots of security lights. A camera you can check online is a great asset also. No lock will keep them out if they know they won't be bothered.
