    Thanks for your help, how serious do you think this is, the tree is huge beside a very busy road and lots of houses around but it looks to be healthy...

    Found this on a Scots pine(I think) any idea what it is? Tree looks healthy....

    Thanks for your replies just wish there was a way for all our ground saws to run the same chain....

    Defo have not buggered off! I think the ms261 would struggle with a 3/8th chain but maybe this is the solution, has anyone got any experience putting a 3/8 chain on a ms261? Thanks for your replies.

    Hello, Trying to just have one type of chain running on all our ground saws which are ms261's and ms500i's is this possible would ideally like to .325 on the 500i but finding it difficult to find any info about how to go about doing this and even if that's safe/possible. Thanks Jeff.

    We have a job in next week in Belfast, its a site clearance we are looking for someone to take everything that we cant throw through our chipper (greater than 8"). Anyone available with a forestry trailer or forwarder etc. Thanks. Jeff.

    Thanks everyone for your help think its sorted now just putting this up for anyone else who ever has this problem. It appears the gap between the sensor and flywheel is wrong should be about the thickness off a pound coin (our jensen is approx 10yrs old has the orange capped sensor). Also the blades if not sharpened at the correct 2 angles or if badly damaged can cause this problem. Once again thanks:)

    Hi just at the end of the day our chipper started using anti stress mode if you understand what I mean. Even 1" diameter stuff gets pulled through like it is 6" big. Any ideas what it could be? Going to try to fix it tomorrow hopefully. Thanks in advance for any help.
  13. jeffa999
    Thanks for help, yeah put nothing bigger than 2 inch through it. Think it's a fuse where the ignition is, have checked hydraulic fluid but will put a little more in as we slightly underfill it because it seems to make a right mess, and Mason Chippers told us it would not damage it. Thanks again everyone:)
  14. jeffa999
    Will check all the lights, bit worrying all of this....
  15. jeffa999
    Thanks for reply, how important is it to have the anti stress working can we still use the Chipper?
  16. jeffa999
    Just a quick question how does the anti stress work on the chipper. I recently replaced the solenoid to the right of the hopper there is a little thumb screw which I have to screw all the way in to get the roller to rotate at full speed. Ive noticed that the chipper never slows down now on the big stuff little worried that this might be damaging the chipper.... The solenoid was replaced because a fuse kept blowing near the ignition and redwood said to replace the solenoid. Thanks in advance.

    Got the chipper sorted thanks everyone for the help especially double a and jem engines
  18. jeffa999
    Lol yeah, be incredible bad luck to happen twice....

    Hi we need a mechanic to fix our chipper, we think it's the starter motor. It's currently stuck on an industrial unit in Glasgow. If any one is or knows a mechanic and is interested in fixing this can you please call me on 07930313223. Thanks. Jeff.

    All good has not been tampered with, they dumped it in a car park straight after taking it.... Can't believe how lucky we are:001_smile:
  21. jeffa999
    Looks like the police found it
  22. jeffa999
    No it was taken from outside a property in Swanston. What do think the chances of this being found are? We have only used it for a few jobs:(. Been working up north with it.
  23. jeffa999
    Hi title says it all really:) We are trying to get some places further north to put our waste. we have our place in edinburgh and a place near glasgow but what would be really handy is some where near Falkirk for a job next week. Pls call 07930313223 to discuss. All the best Jeff. PS sorry if this is not the right place to do this.

    Hi we had a ms440 stolen today in edinburgh, about 2 weeks old (eek) by some toe rag in Craigmiller. We can give £100 to anyone who can help us retrieve it. The bar is bent on it. We were working at peffermill house and some one has climbed over the garden wall and taken it out of the back of the truck... Regards TreeWork Scotland. Thanks.
