  1. no its a front loader i am having a serious think about this as the chip we produce has very little value to us we don't produce enough to keep it for biomass and we don't have enough storage or loading facilities
  2. what got me thinking was we have recently got a new 40kw eta boiler fitted and we have a chipper but wood chip isn't particularly good as a fuel for the style of our boiler as its for logs so it got me thinking about chunkers open the door and toss a bag or 2 into the fire hey presto a low value fuel turned into heat it also is easy to stack bags and i am presuming it would dry quite quirky as chunks have a good amount of surface area any thoughts or am i of a mile
  3. ok chaps i am looking for a bit of input/advice on this type of thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=HWgAZqq6WUw has anybody seen one in the uk or even better used one pros cons i aint sure if they are in the uk for safety issues cheers
  4. make sure the exhaust gaskets etc are ok no exhaust leaks as on air cooled engine it can be terminal blowing onto the pots
  5. the piston and barrel are out of it i will take a picture as i think the wrong pistons been fitted
  6. looking for a piston and rings and crank seals for an old 42 theres a meteor piston on ebay its 42 mm but we are unsure which one it will be open skirt or closed skirt any pointers chaps cheers
  7. mmmm lovely i would hate to be the bloke fixing that
  8. always the injector end as it forces the air out of the pipe
  9. keep the pivots well greased as the cheaper end of the market the pins and bushes aren't usually the best quality
  10. from the drawing it looks like its a safety solenoid i would reckon round about 24 ohms for the coil if you look in the end of the coil there might be a button that you can push in to bypass it some have a screw in bypass if dismantle the valve you might be able to pack the back of the spool to work permanently but you will have no safety circuit
  11. have a look at the radiator cap is it ok are the seals intact any doubt replace it. take the cap of and run it at idle see if there are bubbles coming up you can test the coolant with a sample kit to see if the head gasket has went i think about £50 if the engine cuts out i would look at fuel filters stop solenoid etc first
  12. bent the axle on ours coming down stairs loaded with a large log
  13. thats cool i just showed it to my kids they reckon its ace
  14. what makes you think the water pump is goosed have the impeller blades broke off is it leaking is the impeller spinning on the shaft
  15. i saw it as well and thought that would be cool
  16. why the move up to aviemore is there much work up there
  17. on some jobs we find that you can move stuff that quick especially large conifer clear outs that we could do with 2 trolleys if you do domestic tree work the arb trolley is a no brainer it is a great piece of kit but has its limitations especially going up steps loaded
  18. what makes you think its overheating as for cutting out if its overheating i wouldn't expect it to start again as it would be seized
  19. thats a big ol lump of a tree cracking view from the top
  20. that will be a smart feature in a garden better than replanting
  21. if you load the chipper straight from the trolley we found that you get less stones getting into the chipper and less crap falls onto customers gardens
  22. check if you can push the gland back in and pop out the wire lock ring
  23. are things that bad down there
