  1. i have tried new relay but no joy
  2. thanks, i hadnt thought of relays. is relay special or will off the shelf auto relay work?
  3. v-belts cope better to fluctuations in load than chain or gear or chain drives. also dont need lubrication or slip/overload clutches. weigh less and relatively inexpensive
  4. rollers stopped feeding yesterday. reverse working fine. i swopped the solenoid plugs to finish the job (manually operating the directional valve to reverse rollers when necessary) i also swopped solenoid blocks but no difference. no broken wires or dodgy connections that i can find & limit switches seem ok. any ideas ? thanks ; sean

    Am I unusual...

    most offer tea over here, especially country people . one of our nicest customers (a well known agri machinery manifacturer) gives us a fry at 11 soupand sandwiches at 2 and coffee and biccies at 4. plus lads always get a tip. job always seems to overrun somehow
  6. i think if i was doing it again i would do lots of sit-ups to tone up my tummy muscles for all the body thrusting. no need to be nervous, just go with the flow and enjoy the week
  7. my 99 transit (non turbo) became very smokey after overheating due to water pump failure .i assumed the rings had been damaged until i lent it to a friend who changed the ebd valve (in manifolds to reburn exhaust gasses) cured smoke ,ran for 3 more years. might be worth a try
  8. mewp for take downs, light reductions,high hedges. climbing for work within crown, line clearance, and non accessable stuff. there will always be loads to climb and its more enjoyable if you dont have to climb every day (or maybe thats just me)
  9. we use them for tw190 and jenson no probs at all
  10. i.ve noticed some jap larches locally that have died over the last year. when i suggested to the local forester that it might be wise to have them looked at, he didn,t want to know.

    which model

    id say 162. brings back happy memories
  12. chipped fan blade causing imbalance/vibration? ( if a 150)
  13. a friend of mine was told a stihl part was unavailable a few weeks ago, cathcarts enniskellin had one in stock, might be worth a call 028 66324325 (maybe 048 from uk, not sure)
  14. my last order from honey bros arrived in less than 24hrs in connemara, far west of ireland
  15. very sorry to hear about this. tried to donate last night but irish card would not work. just wondering ,would it work over phone tomorrow?
  16. often wondered , could 3 ton hitachi drive cone splitter ?
  17. very good point. i notice that ,in ireland anyway, a lot of young lads have gone straight from cs30 ,31 to 38 39 with little or no experience of chainsaw work whereas us fossils spent years sawing in the woods before getting into climbing
  18. i used to 1 hand quite a bit and it does take its tole on ones joints. as an employer i have to practice what i preach in front of my climbers. cutting 2 handed is so much easier on the body. i see lots of different crews working and the amount of reckless 1 hand cutting,cutting and holding, and cutting with just one attachment is quite disturbing.
  19. i remember reading an article about them in forestry journal. i think around 2 years ago
  20. i use a brash grab i got from m large ( on ex 30) very strong grab can handle logs. brash ,feed pto chipper, pull gorse briars etc . great tool
  21. could you send me pics too ?
  22. fitted led lights to my tw190 today and plant trailer today. working great on trailer but wont work at all on tw. followed colour code etc , im sure i must have over looked something simple. any ideas?
