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.

I came in here to suggest that whatever disc people used, a cordless grinder with speed control is worth its weight in gold when you are working in and under things (such as teeth on grinder) where kickback has you right in the line of fire. I have a Makita brushless with speed control. If Milwaukee do one I’d go with that- they are outclassing makita in the cordless grinder stakes currently.

They went with the £320 plus vat, want to keep the grindings for mulch.

You are such a fkin copycat! Resawing an oak sleeper was the first job for mine! Great minds think alike. Or rather- quick, what’s the nearest timber to play with?! 🤣🤣

I’ve had two people contact me looking for work in the last two days. That’s a sure sign something is up. Especially given how hard it’s been to get workers over the last year.

Came in here hoping for pictures of great tits, was disappointed.

Jesus, your scrap is worth even more than mine! I used shorted bolts to weld to the frame- seems pointless having the frame four inches above the subframe.

Having a DPF/Adblue delete is a fantastic reason to have a 'full' remap if you are already thinking about upping the power. Luckily all mine are too old. Have you been for an MOT with the delete and was it all OK?

A remap or tuning box both work on increasing the fuel pressure (normally) or the injector opening duration (sometimes). More fuel equals more power, which in turn will use more air. Modern twin channel boxes link into the boost sensor too, which avoids problems such as excessive smoke. A twin channel box is doing exactly the same as a basic remap, albeit in a different manner. There's precious little other benefit to be gained for our applications (torque for towing) by tweaking injection duration, etc. The reason a box (single channel) can trigger limp mode is because the engine thinks it's supplying X amount of fuel and so should be using Y of air (as reported by the MAF sensor), as the box tricks it by under-reporting the fuel pressure. So it throws a MAF error when the airflow exceeds what it considers a safe level for the fuel it thinks it's supplying. Just wind the box back a couple of clicks, you're being greedy! The above is also the reason why a lot of reports of incredible fuel savings as well as more power are bollocks. The truck is told by the box that the fuel pressure is lower than it is, so the truck computer reports a better MPG. Economy is gained by cruising around on the torque- you're still going to drink more diesel when thrashing it towing. Can't have your cake and eat it.

Been running my Ranger with a chip for years now. Change the flywheel to single mass and you are good. Makes the old 2.5 Mazda engine into a good tow motor, add air assist suspension and it's happy pulling 3.5t up hills. Some of the best money I spent.

Fence is actually straight (I looked!) but for some reason they've cut a panel down at an angle

It's the Rock one- still on it's pallet at the moment! https://www.rockmachinery.co.uk/product/rg24-pto-stump-grinder/

Thanks guys. I’ve gone in at £320 plus vat grind out or £400 plus vat including removing grindings, adding topsoil and seeding.

It’s an old well.

Was thinking it would take about two/three hours including transport. Maybe three litres of diesel. I only 'need' £250 from the job, I work on £500 a day for me and any machine and I can't see it taking a whole morning. But don't want to sell myself short.
