Thanks loads!

Also if anyone happens to have a link for filters etc that would be ace. Sure I can take them off and get down the local factors and get sorted but id quite like to just have them there to fit when I take them off

Ah ok, it has a switch saying stress control on off and the fella who sold it said it was broken so I assumed it had worked. Fixing stress control is slightly low down the list tbh. Might sort it after the chipper has proved itself! Do you have the manual in digital? Or real? Any chance of a pick of lights box. Mine is missing so no idea what they mean other than glowplug

Some are but defs not all. Think the 42'' stihl bars are for some reason. I've ordered a 404 one for the bar now anyways.

A Tail of Two–MS200T–Top Handles & Compression Tests

If stick a strip of rubber or similar on you blanking plates. Will help get a good seal. Donnyboy has a good youtube video of a vac test with suggested psi and timing etc. -
Can anyone point me towards anyone who may have such a thing? Or a copy. Or a dealer etc. Ta

Just dropped it in for mechanic to have a quick look check things like that. Any pointers to manuals or people that may be able to help?

Reckon nobodies done that then?

Have to change sprocket on my 88 36inch bar. I have a few of these so wondered if I can use a 3/8th nose sprocket and run it with an adapter plate on a 660 etc. Ta

Got it back to yard seems to chip ok. Apparently wants a whiff of easy start to get going first start of the day ( thought he had said it would start without, but I was mistaken/misunderstood. That pretty disappointing. Measures 9'' across the rollers. Anti stress is knackered. Sometimes you seem to need to nudge the stop bar to get it rolling as it sometimes stop mid branch. Also to get it to reverse you have to lift the hopper slightly. And there is a strange but potentially crucial mechanism that clips the hopper down. If anyone can remember ought about these chippers please help out!

Rang them today they will collect it Monday. Won't tell me how long they will have it though....which is odd. Hopefully not for weeks but they made no promises. Won't offer a replacement either
-
Well I went and bought it. Not seen it yet but a lad I know (who knows more about chippers than me) has looked it over and collected from South Wales. Will be in the yard late tonight! Exciting first chipper!

Aye great scales etc on turtle

Yes I 've been impressed with mine so far, pull very well. I try not to use the brake all the time anyway tbh, but you want it working when you need it!
-
Any nearby Makita dealer you think?Will try but suspect I know what they will say..... Yes soon as you know about those spikes let me know
-
Thanks Rob! Very kind

Course you can. Was milling near wylam, Northumberland.

Balls. Not long bought a second hand 7900

I'll have you know I'm on a Samsung xcover 4, the 'tough' phone. I have only broken 1 mic and 1 screen in a year. Just says video is unavailable

Had a good today milling for a pal. He had bought an Alaskan and 48'' lo pro gb bar with ripping chain ages ago and never used it. Wanted a hand getting it setup and milled this lovely beech approx 40'' wide by 10.5' Very impressed with lo pro ripping chain ( would it have been Carlton?) On the 66. Very fast cut.

That was suppose to read "id please" not "is please "

Hard to see in pics but pretty slimy brown stuff oozing out the stem. Tree looks healthy enough in terms of leaf coverage etc.
