  1. I do agree. You should have checked it out prior to bidding. Slacken off the belt tensioner so you can feel for play in the front bearing.
  2. Hi all looking for some input here. I have a job coming up so need to get some rigging gear. I was intending to get a stein rc 2000 but now thinking of getting a tree runner p500 - used to use a gcrs on regular basis and prefer the idea of a non floating device. Looking at ropes as well, something not too expensive but something that will last maybe 14mm in diameter. And probably an isc cast pulky block. Any recomendations on rope. Or experiences with the tree runner?
  3. try my local stihl dealer. the boss wont sign the cheques so their account gets put on stop regular. we took a tanaka hedge trimmer in there, on behalf of a local authority i do a bit for, that was 12 weeks ago. Comes up with a different excuse everytime we go in! kept telling us he was waiting on an order from tanaka, then their is a big shortage on parts then tanaka have stopped making that particular part. Luckily i spoke with one of the other chaps in their who told me staight that the account was on stop. Same problems when i ordered up a load of stihl parts. Varying stories even one about stihl having a massive fire in there wearhouse so no parts available!! so i went to my next local dealer in bridgwater who got me the parts the next day!!
  4. Feel elaborate
  5. my local national park authority used to run a couple of them. they had to remove the prop shaft because the 4x4 system caused so much trouble!! As well as other things. They have gone over to the 4x4 caddy vans now.
  6. Well i think that successfully put that bonfire out!
  7. I might head down the route of a new system but I was, and still am, hopping it is the trigger that is at fault
  8. what parts are you missing? i have problems with my anti stress on a 97 entec. i have all the parts but timberwolf want me to take it in to a dealer to assess. i'm on a budget and cant afford £££'s
  9. Ordered one up this morning after some heavy rain whilst getting wet through in my harkie smock
  10. i can get 35 out of my isuzu tf when on motorway runs. living on exmoor their are plenty of hills and bends to negotiate so its more like 30mpg unless i am full of chip and towing the chipper. with regards to the egr valve. I removed the vacume hose from mine. hopefully it will remain shut with out the vacume. put a small bolt in the hose i removed so it doesnt loose the pressure or lack of
  11. I have cut out the bread pasta and all the sweet rubbish. Been maxing out on macrel, eggs fruit veg and salad. Only been on it for just ova a week and already I dont feel so bloated, a feeling I had more often than not Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app

  15. I used a timberwolf tw125 when I was at cannington about 3/4 years ago. It looked like a new machine back then as it doesnt get much use and it is stored in a shed. Used it a few times then and it was great for a small machine. Maybe a little slower then a bigger diesel but then it is bit cheaper. sure beats milling it up in a trailer or stacking brash on the trailer. Mike cullen is a great guy. An real assest to the college Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app
  16. Needs must when you start. I started of with a diahatsu fourtrak and a trailer and went on like that for a while untill I could afford a pickup, which has made life easier. I was still trailering brash untill I recently got a chipper. I am sure even a gravity fed chipper would beat trying to mash the brash up in the trailer Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app
  17. looks similar to one i have seen on the side of a jenson i used to use. I have got my hands on one now. thanks for the replys
  18. As per title i need to find out what rpm my chipper is running at.. engine is a 25hp kholer command. any ideas of how and who?
  19. nothing about science but it is a great read... the golden spruce by john vaillant i think if i remember rightly it is based on a true story
  20. Cant say i have done it from an anchor that has been screwed in the ground but have lowered using various vehicles: chipper, truck etc. The trouble i can see with the ground anchor is that you can not calculate force factors. Russian roulette
  21. Thanks forbthe replys guys I will try landpower and see if they can help. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app
  22. Same here Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app
  23. its a '97 entec ch25ph . with the 25hp kohler engine. Now the first problem is that it does not have a chassis number which i didnt realise until after i purchased the machine so timberwolf cant be much help with specifics regarding my particular machine. So the problem is that the rollers run fine if the the three pin plug on the anti stress control box (Old style grey box) is unplugged (obviously with no anti stress functionality). If i connect the three pin plug the rollers wont move. So my first thoughts are with regards to the trigger. the one on the machine looks like it has taken a hammering in the past and the teeth are not very uniform. So i was going to try a new trigger as i am unsure of the tolerances. I contacted timberwolf and they said that my machine should not have a twelve toothed trigger, which mine does. So now that has opened up another can of worms. Do i persist down the route of a new trigger or has this anti stress system been adapted to fit my machine (looks original to me) there fore i am throwing good money after bad and i should just upgrade it to the later style anti stress system which will obviously cost a little bit more?
  24. Does anybody know of any chipper experts in my area as i am having some trouble with my anti stress system.
  25. I would love to send out lots of 'promotional' bars but he has not got the funds to do so at the moment. I have tried all of the flavours and, predictably, i liked them all. Stevia is a 0 calorie sweetener so you can enjoy these with a clear conscience. And i think that they may be suitable for diabetics as they don't contain 'sugar' as a sweetener. He does have an online shop as part of the website. And i think a taster pack containing all of the flavours is in the pipeline. :D
