    Jordan

    Like kicking a sausage down OConnell Street
  3. Sounds more like rollers not getting enough hydraulic pressure , maybe valve controlling forward/reverse not functioning properly .
  4. No , more like a mini spade fuse. i think dark brown color far as I can remember
  5. My mechanic always checks tow socket first then hazard switch, he says indicators controlled via . therer normally a scrapped transit to swop stuff from
  6. A diode is like a non return valve for current i think it’s in the box out front but could be wrong. looks like a small fuse. would check but van is 20 miles away
  7. Re: indicators. mine have given bother a few times. had to replace hazard switch once or twice. last time they acted up with one side coming on by itself, turned out to be a diode. Took a lot of trial and error to find. Q
  8. Handy! Takes me about an hour. I read that botex were doing one but forgot to enquire at APF. Thanks
  9. Is that a quick attach adapter thingy between rotator and grab?
  10. Safer (and faster)to use proper injection tool. fella I know almost got round up in his eyes when needle broke
  11. I think this was asked on forum before so maybe worth a search . i once used a screw from a domestic electric plug Same size and. Thread just not countersunk
  12. I bought a used Camon badged version of Rayco RG 13 about fourteen years ago .it has done every sort of stump for me . it cost around €1500 at the time and is probably still worth €1000. Well worth buying something built to last

    Husky 266se

    When I started cutting in the forests in 1987 the 266XP was the saw the main price work cutters used. Most lads would start off with a Husky 61 The forestry men (state forestry before it became Coillte Teoranta) used mostly 266SE or some had 162SE. i don’t know what the difference was between the SE and XP, I never seen an SE on display in any of the saw dealers of the time, just XP. would still be a good saw for ringing firewood
  14. Nice! Well done and good luck ? sorry about my ocd but winch lever looks a bit vulnerable.
  15. 6inch Timberwolf is just about strong enough for the stresses it’s designed for . (Not a put down, I own one) masking for trouble putting putting winch on.
  16. Ah but we would be just moving woodchip for farm animal bedding ?
  17. Yeah. I figured I wouldn’t need to alter solenoids etc just replace the 3 stage switch in the control box with a unit that can be radio controlled, if that makes sense. Thanks
  18. Hi Stephen There’s an electrical control box you can have either in cab or it can be mounted on the chipper.(chipper was factory built as crane fed with no stop bar, just big stop bottons either side). It’s when chipper is driven by other tractor that remote would be handy. Thanks
  19. Thanks Eddie. I will try them.?
  20. Hi. we run a crane-fed Jensen pto chipper. Depending on site ,space,type of stuff to be chipped etc , we either run it on crane tractor (Valtra/botex) or on a second tractor. running on crane tractor is fine for nice long material but for small more fidgety stuff it’s easier to use second tractor and see the feed rollers as you feed with crane or mini digger. i am hoping to set up a remote control to reverse the feed rollers when I need to without getting out of crane tractor or having to have someone on the ground (which is not ideal from a safety point of view) Any of the systems I’ve found on-line e.g. winch remotes require you to hold button on for both forward and reverse . I need forward to ‘click’ on, and I need stop to hold stopped. It would be okay to have to hold button pressed for reverse. has anyone fitted simular system or can suggest something that might suit? Thanks
