  1. the cormidi dumpers to go for are the honda gx powered versions there was an upgrade kit to change from the diesel engine into the petrol engined version as they had trouble with injectors etc
  2. the tcp barrows look some of the better ones for conversion as the links on the front could be easily adapted for a quick hitch change the valve block for 3 spools and voila mini loader we originally looked at tcp but the camisa one turned up at the right money if you do go down this route make sure its got a triple pump as it makes a difference when you are using it
  3. more accidents by road traffic accidents and they are licensed
  4. its done with a lever pulling a chain on the back stroke of the rod as it can only advance with the axe clear of the timber
  5. i have a rocking saw bench combined with a screw splitter 700mm carbide blade and 11hp lister diesel engine that might be up for grabs soon
  6. our mulcher is fixed tooth and we've stalled the engine on it a lot of times hitting concrete and bricks i would say if we use a set of belts per day were doing ok there are 10 mm plates up the back of the drum and its bent them i didn't think 13hp would have had enough hp or momentum in the drum to damage them
  7. is there any advantage to fixed tooth or is it personal preference nick
  8. i might have an electric start lister ac2 coming up for sale soon
  9. if your not sure post up some pictures of your valve block etc and someone will identify ports etc as a general rule alloy pumps and most stuff thats sold for log splitters are 3000psi max
  10. pressure gauge on the outlet marked a or b on the valve block or teed into p and blank off a & b go for a 6000 psi gauge to be on the safe side I've blown apart a few gauges and its not nice you can get a gauge from flow tech on ebay for about £7-8 and a few quid for adaptors
  11. thats way too little load for a large engine it'll end up with glazed bores your better with a small engine running at 75% load than a large engine running at 10%
  12. pressure x area
  13. why are you getting shot of it
  14. yep we've got a big grinder as well made from one
  15. we paid just shy of 2k for the barrow then about another 2k for valve blocks grabs hoses and bits and pieces for building grinder head and mulcher
  16. thats different from ours its plastic
  17. heres ours dragging out chunks of oak and a bit of birch when it was first built [ATTACH]176558[/ATTACH
  18. i know now its just a big timing belt do they last long
  19. we had something similar with ours it would crank and not show any lights and 1 of the fuses inside the box had fell out i wonder if its the same box with rubber mounts on the back and 4 3mm allen bolts in from the side we ended up putting cable ties round the fuses to hold them in
  20. my guess copper nails
  21. it sounds like when he turns it to start theres no power i think?
  22. any pictures i am intrigued its not a thing I've used before
  23. what type of forwarder is it on
  24. poor earth or high resistance in a feed cable check the battery voltage on cranking if it goes below 10-11 volts it would point to a battery have you tried jump leads right on to the starter ?
