Got asked the same a year ago. When I gave them a quote, they said that was to dear, and I said if you had got them ground out there would of been no cost as would have just been left on site. They think as we are tree surgeon we can just make them vanish.

Saw this at lunch time. It turned up with larger pallet of turf on front of trailer and took it off with forklift and left rear one were it was, thought they would of put it in middle but no just strapped it on and drove off, back wheel had got little weight on

I built a power pack a few years ago to run log splitters, it has a 60litre tank and runs 15/30 suto. I was worried oil getting hot so I fitted a cheap hot water pipe thermostat and cable tied it to ram to keep an eye on it runs at around 40-50 deg c depends how hot day is.

From memory I think 10litre will do around 250 trees if you are spraying a metre square with a medium flow nozzle.

NO SPRAY GUARD NEEDED AS IN TUBES. 1 metre square is best. On all the spraying I did years ago would just band spray rows and then it would be mowed between rows.

Will not take long if square plot, I use to do a area of trees 25m wide and 750m long, landed up doing it in section then move truck down with suppliers. I always only ever filled knap sack with 10 litres kinder on back if ground is uneven..

I ve had new plugs that were broken, when I have problems with stuff always use plug from other machine to, know it's good. Had a problem with a Husqvarna saw last year, would start and tick over but splutter at full revs, tried different plug carb clean, then change ignition module for one on other saw and fixed it. Years ago working for someone he had saw that wouldn't go, was quite new so I took it back to dealer as I was passing, they point bank stood there and said couldn't be ignition module, but I was 99% sure so pulled plug cap off and put finger in cap and pulled starter. And I didn't get a shock but dealer did.

Show them how to disconnect chipper and see what reaction you get. If no one has shown them there's your problem, may only be one doing it wrong.

I was told by woodland officer last year council order over powers felling licence as long as you have paper chain. Near me there's a lot of 28 day notice being given on trees fell by highways, must have new policies.

I wear a Deerhunter smock, keep me dry but outer layer of material is like a sponge and takes ages to dry. Good leggings are needed as legs get soaked.

I am thinking someone is pulling cable and not plug when disconnecting it from truck.

If once started it then starts OK but left a couple of days will not start, you have a small air leak. Check all jubilee clips and give fuel fitter a tighten, or if do for a change, change it. Most of kubota engines in chippers self bleed if you leave ignition switch on for a will, so if above fails to work would fit new pump.

Disc in chipper are heavy, and some tractors don't have soft start, old tractors were you dipped clutch pedal and in gauged lever and release slowly were easy.

That's how I get my GreenMech going.

That's going to be an art in getting that to start spinning. I know the trouble I have getting my GreenMech going.
