  1. braking is usually done with the relief valve and the travel brake or park brake as it could be known is controlled negative with travel pressure
  2. save yourself the hassle get one on a trailer
  3. how do they stay parked on a hill do they rely solely on the motor not bypassing and no creepage
  4. i would be tempted to fit a winch and only pull with that as it will be kinder to the track motors as the travel brake would be locked
  5. i reckon guy martin and chris evans would be a good combo
  6. i am sure i put it down as waste wood and i could use my invoices to back it up as evidence
  7. i registered as a self supplier with my source being arisings from my tree surgery work and passed no probs so i would say that arb waste is sustainable
  8. fuel restriction clean out the tank and lines for a kick off check for blocked pre filters/gauzes and go from there
  9. ours were brand new there aren't too many options for you then or buy the laski and adapt it fsi i don't think i would bother with unless you've got masses of flow
  10. i can see why you offer free delivery at 25k for a chinese engined chipper does it come with a tank of fuel for that:laugh1:
  11. crap pretty much sums up my day
  12. we usually call them wing wang 2 nobs engines i thought chonda was less offensive
  13. we built our own as i couldn't find one and i was too tight to import one
  14. why does it need to be electric start could you not use a pull start and put an idler as the clutch on the belt. the lister engine in the wheel of death came from a company in traquair called xmod they also had a russian field gun in stock when i visited but i don't think mrs breezeblock would want it on the front grass its a gold mine that place if you ever get the chance go for a nosey
  15. bollocks i scrapped an m16 not so long ago as i thought nobody wanted them what failed on the chonda engines
  16. disconnect the wire that goes to the kill switch first was it a cheap chinese coil that you fitted or a genuine stihl one put some neat petrol in the carb venturi see if it farts if it doesn't i would still suspect the coil
  17. it does look out of proportion in the picture it was taken on an old nokia i think from the centre of the bollard to the centre of the grab is 500mm it works well when it was built it had to lift a bag of logs into the back of the van thats why the mast part is quite high when you tilt it forward it gets quite a good reach
  18. we use sprinters for service vans and they are the only things that last transits just fall to bits almost all the plant fitters in scotland use either mercs or vw crafters the only issues I've had were the fan belt tensioner fell to bits and the cable track inside the side door got torn out but that was due to crap rolling about the back of the van and falling in the runner
  19. yep riko do them i think we paid about 450 ish for ours
  20. i just put together a cannon for throw bags works too well the only problem was knocking off branches we were easily getting 150ft
  21. air burner is very effective and cheaper than any other options i would think
  22. i had a good day started off servicing 2 ts400 saws then changed a track on the wee skid steer then went an done a stump job went an spoke to the lad who mots the van then went out on bikes with the kids then got robbed for ice-cream £10.50 robbin gets for 3 cones tomorrow aberfeldy to remove a front axle from a 30 ton dumper just living the dream
