Every time I get on my Multione or my Sherpa I think ‘I love this machine!’ Loaders are so efficient. I loaded these monster oak logs with it the other day.

I have worked out that my pto grinder will fit almost as if made to measure onto my Sherpa loader. Add a 29hp Loncin engine… 😎🤣

Thanks. I’ve not done any ‘proper’ stump grinding, but I’m amazed just of ‘sharp’ these are. Less grinding and more cutting when you lower it into the work.

Not the best pics (camera buggered) but here you go

It's cheap shite from Aldi, what did you expect? And as regards the stripping screws issue- sounds like you are trying to drive Phillips heads (old screws from the Dad style box of scrap screws) with a Pozi bit. Get new screws, and get reasonable quality PZ2 and PZ3 bits. You're asking a lot from a drill driver to drive long screws without a decent bit and also a lot of pressure behind to keep it in the head. The whole reason for impact drivers (as opposed to impact wrenches) is that the impact prevents 'cam out'- when the bit strips the screw head. This is different from an impact wrench, where the socket is not going to slip and the purpose of the impact is to loosen a tight machine thread. People think an impact driver is for more torque- it's not. It's to deliver sufficient torque in a controlled manner (without cam out). If you are putting a coach screw, timberlock or similar (with a bolt head) into timber, a heavy duty drill will do it quicker than an impact wrench so long as you can hang on. To be honest, you should have just bought a budget level drill and seperate impact driver from one of the big brands and you'd not have any of these issues. If you insist upon persisting with the Aldi drill, screws are available with a Torx (star type) head. With the right bit, you'd be able to drive these in with just a drill without suffering from cam-out nearly so much. Trouble is, a few boxes of them will cost as much as you paid for the drill! 🤣🤣

I did six oak stumps ranging from four feet to two feet yesterday afternoon with my PTO grinder behind the 26hp Kubota. Took around three hours- but I did have the forklift broom on the Multione on site, so I swept the grindings out the way to keep a clear view of proceedings- worked wonderfully! Very impressed with the square razor teeth (I think?) on the Rock machinery grinder wheel. Used barely 6 litres of diesel too, which I thought was pretty good.

So you can no longer use 100% renewable wood to heat your water? What a bullshit country we live in. Bring on the crash and some anarchy.

A big bushy 10/15m leylandii? So that's 10m as it's a homeowner height estimate 🤣 'Reduced' on one side? It's going to look shit whatever you do, I'd get a gardener or fresh out of college tree surgeon to do it with a decent A-frame ladder and extension plus a polesaw. No need for MEWPS.

If you are looking at a car derived van, just get a car! Apart from anything else, you pay the car tax rate (often zero for an 'eco' model rather than full whack £245 a year for the same thing without windows.

It works just fine for a cheap bulk log store. mind you, it was better when panels were a tenner not £35 each!!!

There are scaffold poles driven down the sides for support, which also support a scaffold tin roof easily once filled. Method in the madness 😉

Even a sterile garden like that will have plenty more work down the line...those softwood sleepers will be rotted out in five years!

I’ll let you know in a few months? Done a couple for customers recently, the theory is sound. More airflow than just in a pile.

Another foreign holiday? Who says there’s no money in Arb? 🤣🤣 What you can’t see in that photo is the pile of chip it’s sat on!

The Revolution wheel looks like this, right? That’s very similar, with the same teeth, as the wheel on the PTO grinder I have. I thought it cut well!

Used OKO both on and off-road types for a while (75l total) and not particularly impressed.

The only mention of a grinder on this thread talks about replacing the main bearings… with bearings matching the number written on the original bearing. Because, guess what?- bearings are manufactured by a whole host of factories to a recognised standard! Bearings and belts are the easiest thing on any machine to source from a supplier other than the main dealer, as they have standards and numbers written on them relating to this. bellend yourself.

Nor does the stihl bg56

How are you thinking a failed throttle cable could cause any damage? A cable is a cable. Replacing the cable is not the same as removing the two-handle spool valve on a log splitter. By your reasoning, surely your insurance is invalid if you fit new grinding teeth yourself. What about changing the oil yourself? Or even filling with petrol yourself? What if you fit a new petrol line badly and cause an explosion? Or maybe you don't fit a new petrol line and that causes an explosion? It's not an issue that needs to be worried about, frankly. If you are such an idiot that you'd refit parts so as to make the machine dangerous to use (if that's even possible!) then you're probably enough of an idiot to pay Jo Beau prices! 🤣

GreethTeeth are the round ones, right? What are Razor Teeth?

I have both the Husky and the Stihl. I reckon the Echo is a touch more powerful (a bit like the Husky 135 vs Stihl 181). Not much in it with the blowers, but the Stihl is a touch more ergomic (and much more so on the saw). With both blowers, when warming up after starting, put your hand over the nozzle end. This prevents the fan from actually moving air, and you can rev them up to warm up much faster. Never had a BG86 spring fail on me, and I must have had a dozen over the years.

The thread title is ‘jo beau ripping off their customers’

Generic Chinese tat.

Ample. My twenty ton splitter is very quick at 50litres/min

All done. Two and a half hours from loading to unloading, including cutting down the stumps. They were (of course) much larger than they looked in the picture… 🤣 I quickly gave up ‘driving’ the tractor, and instead operated it from the side with the handbrake gently on which afforded me a decent view and a fair degree of cover (see pic) Wouldn’t want to be using it all day but ideal as a relatively profitable add-on, as most of my tree work is large gardens. The grinder cost less than £2k. Id say you definitely want a hydrostatic tractor for this. Stalled it twice in case you were wondering (and let’s face it, you probably were!) Didnt mean to post the digger pic but there’s a laugh.
