One problem you may well encounter is that often when you fell a poplar without killing the stump you get a small forest of sucker growth from the existing roots.(even if you grind the stump as many roots will stretch many meters from the tree)
-
Fair enough, not thought about it like that.
-
Thanks Tommy, I'll have a go tomorrow when it stops raining and let you know.

Love the Hurricane, i've seen some vids on Youtube, I always ask myself who the clients would be for a machine like that? On clearance work a big 360 is capable of hoiking out most anything. All domestic stumps can be done with a "smaller" machine, (like Trigger's for example) Obviously I'd love one (who wouldn't?)
-
Depressingly low wages for probably the worst job in Arb. You have my sympathy.
-
Ok, cheers.

Yes, thinking about it the wheel was turning the right way. It wasn't blowing the chip out properly it was just rolling it around like a cement mixer, and some very ordinary pieces were slowing it down. The blades seemed reasonable, but I guess the first thing is to get those done and try again. What gap do you have between the blades and anvil?
-
The 540 1000 thing caught me out at first but then we realised, interesting point about the rotation of the wheel I will go over today and check it.
-
Maybe, to be fair it's really just a bit of fun to top the fields and play the farmer,
-
Here's another pic, if this is the wrong way round I give up!

Hi there, Bloke over here got a unimog a while ago which is handy as he's a mortgage consultant (yeah I know!) anyhow he has brought a pto chipper for it, here it is with him, as he knows next to nothing about them he asked me to come over and cast an eye over it. Its olds as you can see but seemed sound enough,blades not bad, anvil reasonable, rollers not worn at all really, we start it up and it's really disappointing, chute blocking balking on the sort of stuff that my TW eats. So in an effort to get it working properly (cos it should be awesome) some questions. 1 what revs should it run on? 2 presumably it goes on the fast setting on the PTO 3 it has 5 belts between the shaft and the wheel how tight? Other observations on this old girl would be welcome. mick

I was thinking about that weight. A lot of people here want to keep the wood which is fine by me, sometimes when pricing you have to be careful about how you phrase how the wood will be left, when you say logged as in cut to 500mm say clients will think split, or, when they see a ring of 500mm of a big treee which can weigh 200kg itself they start getting antsy and ask you to Cut up the big bits a bit"
-
No, though i'll have a look. just to check.
-
Ah yes I remember the tree, no fuss, no bother, cones, climber, telescopic, well done.
-
Take some pictures please, then we can help a bit more.
-
Sorry, stick start? Mine just goes on the key.Anyway I can start it now for the weekend, and the tractor breakers is 20 mins away but you have to take the part there. In deepest France the don't call them vintage tractors they just call em tractors so no shortage of spares. Cheers everyone.
-
Ok peeps I took the switch to be tested and its ok so because if I bridged the relay above the starter it turns am I right to assume it is the relay/solenoid. Oh and thanks mr stumpy for the iPad tip
-
Ok so I have this old Massey for topping the fields, it would not start the other day, and when I say that I mean the starter would not turn, no click nothing, After much cleaning and rubbing I bridged the gap between the thing above it (solenoid?) and the starter itself and bang off she went, now what does this mean? I know it's simple but not as simple as me and I don't want an expensive mechanics bill! Thanks in advance, Here is a pic of the tractor itself showing the starter, apologies if upside down, iPads seem to do that. (Anyone know why that is as well?)
-
They look like my old Arbor Eater blades, and no thanks.
-
Wow, just come back onto this thread after a while, it looks great. Well done.
-
Well said.:001_smile:

As far as the single roller chipper goes I have had one, the fella on another thread asked people what we (The arbtalk massive) thought of it, long story short I said single roller chippers weren't very good,. As for the 150 I have used many toppers and said I could not see the point of such a gutless saw. I believe these are constructive comments.
-
Show me
-
Ha ha don't flatter yourself. It seems not every one shares your opinions on both of these machines which could be paraphrased as " I've got one so they must be great"
-
No, but when I go up a tree I take a 200/201 cos they're more powerful and I can hold them in one hand easy, if you want to use a householders saw fine, fill your boots! I see they are already falling to bits.
