I’ve finally got round to picking up a load of the 5l cans from our local supplier. After another week of choking on fumes I’d had enough. What do you do with the empty cans, can they be recycled? I've also bought an Echo Dcs 2500t, lovely little saw to use. Would highly recommend it.

Find a good firm locally that you can do some days with. Will teach you the right/wrong ways to do things. Should also give you a good idea of what bits you want/need to buy. Start adverting and pick up jobs as you go while doing 2-3 days a week with someone else.

I’m looking into changing over to Aspen and just wondering if it’s as simple as just filling the saws up and running them? Someone i did some subby work for said he had to have all his carbs rebuilt and saws retuned to get the to run on aspen. Just checking what actually needs to be done. Currently running echo 2511 tes & Wes, stihl 200t, echo 501, stihl ms361 & 461, and echo 8002, stihl bg86, and echo hedge cutter and pole saw. cheers all

The company I use to work for had one on the tractor. It was always painfully slow at chipping and seemed to never be quite right. I’m sure it’s not completely the chippers fault probably the way it was set up. But either way...... didn’t like it.

Does anyone have or has anyone driven on of the new shape iveco tippers (not the 4x4 one)? Just wondering about positives or negatives with them.
-
Normally pump it up to between 80-100psi. I think it’s a 16oz throw bag but I’ll have to check

Could you not use the manual tip until you get a new remote sorted?
-
When I enquired a could of months ago Jas P Wilson had a TP175 with a 35hp engine for sale. May still have it
-
If they are the same as crafters I drove a friends one, was really nice to drive and pulled really well. Just carried weight really really badly. No matter how little weight you had in it it always looked overloaded.
-
Are the man 3.5t tippers not just rebranded crafters?
-
From experience I wouldn’t have the petrol engine, if you can get it ordered fairly soon you’ll still be able to get one with the 35hp Kubota diesel. Failing that it will be the 24hp Kubota Diesel engine.

Timberwolf are doing very good subsidised finance on new machines. And you can get a 5 year warranty on the new machines. And places like spectrum plant have some very good used ones which have been through the workshop.
-
I’ll live with my decision. I don’t do a huge amount of tree work, probably 50-60 hours of chipping a year so the additional cost wasn’t warranted to me. With things the way they are at the moment I didn’t want to load myself up with finance when everything is so up in the air at the moment.

No not had the pleasure

Also another guy I spoke to who has 9 chippers in his current fleet still has three 150’s which he said as long as you look after them they keep working. The 230’s he had all go traded in after three years
-
I just had to make this decision for myself. Buy a new or nearly new 230 or a 150 in the best condition possible. Ended up buying a very low hours 150. Means I saved around £10k in the cost difference, my mechanic/fitter use to mend 150’s so knows them inside out and tree work isn’t my main source of income so I don’t need the most modern up to date machine. Just needed something that will work when I need it.
-
I’ve spoke to both dealers and you can’t get the 35hp anymore on the 24hp units
-
Does anyone have experience with these chippers? And good or bad words to say about them?
-
Mine hasn’t hit 100hrs and I’ve had 4 bad break downs.
-
Don’t suppose your anywhere near Hayward’s Heath, West Sussex? Got a filter sat on my tool box.
-
We had 40 of these take up roost at our place. We’re surrounded on three sides by a shoot and seems a lot have decided they prefer of barn roofs to the shoot ground.
-
Does anyone have a good/bad words to say about a Jensen 530 l? My current chipper has been an unreliable POS so looking to replace it at some point. Also does anyone have a ball park figure for a 530. cheers.

There’s not history of subsidence that I know of and the house was built early part of the last century.
