  1. Could be slightly bent rear wheel rim or has back axle move in some way so it is not running true you would not notice it when raised off the ground as no resistance.
  2. When I bought first chipper it was a timberwolf 18/100 which was not £12,000, think it was £5,000 then a used 150 with low hours for £12,000.
  3. When I need my first chipper worked hard raised the money and bought it and it then had to work hard for me which then bought the second. No dedt the machines are mine.
  4. I said IF Die back
  5. Do not own 1 but would of thought moveability a compact has something to do with it.
  6. You should also mention to customer that you should revist next year and tidy it up if die back.
  7. Update. Went in yesterday at 11.00 and got it repaired at 1.00 this morning, 2 emergencies held things up as well as bad management of theatre. 3 months before full back to work. Thanks for all advice.
  8. Could be an Almond .
  9. Maybe they have be pissed about in the past and one way of getting money for waste of time quoting and looking. Any sealing contract.
  10. It has amazed me how bloody difficult things can be with out the use of a thumb.
  11. Great but we do silly things.
  12. How about just fitting a engine to it.
  13. Managed to cut extend tendon in thumb yesterday will boning some meat, got to go back Wednesday to re attach. Forgot to ask about recovery time anyone know.
  14. hope you did inside as well most landys rust inside to out.
  15. That would make an interesting line in court if it dose fail in the time it takes them to sort out paperwork.
  16. That's exactly the problem I'm having at the moment, highways inspector spots a problem, out comes cc tree office - hmm yes that tree and the next need to be removed as a problem - landowner being the MOD have a bit more public duty of care so agree to have the work done - we price it and get the order to do it and organise the closure as its vertually a single track road and need to set a mewp up on it. 8 months on I'm still trying to get a date sorted to close the road to do it and the bill before we turn up will be over 1500 for charges and tm - really annoying thing is its same office that highlighted the need for the work thats making it difficult to get on and do it. Could get interesting if the tree actually fails and hurts someone while we are shuffling paper! You should be able to get an emergency closure to get the job done. Failing that just borrow a couple of tanks should did the job.
  17. It will be. Also I heard that examiner's have got to read a 900 odd page document on it.
  18. MOT exempt but still got to be roadworthy like every vehicle that has to have an MOT its up to owner to keep it that way from 1 mot to the next.
  19. I know emergency closure needs no warning. But these are road works and then no one turns up to do anything or BT to put s cable across road and still closed after job has been done 2 days later.
  20. Many times near me you drive down a road 1 day and find it closed the next with no pre warning.
  21. They should work according to spec given to them by timber wolf I would of thought. Big question is will they lend a machine while yours is being mended.
  22. Chipper doctor would probably know. But can someone clarify if he has retired.
  23. Mot ed landy 130 the other week and spoke to examiner about new regs he said about time they were up date but still not classified classes enough, explained a campvan he had there which grossed at 7 Ton only had to have a class 4 test and an ambulance to which weighs 5 ton and my truck is 3.5 ton and class 7.
  24. WD 40 cleans most stuff off paint
  25. If he was not at work why should you be. Had a customer how would ring and say can you come and look at some work now which would be every time I would sit down for tea, so would say be there in an hour then next time a day and sow on he got the message. The world is full of them and we meet them.
