  1. I use a length of 2x1" cut diagonally at the end. hardwoods best. If its stuck, wont turn on start up, lay it down so infeed is on the floor, crawl up the shoot a little and push pointy end I then twist and the cartridge has always turned then knock the piece out, off you go! Good blow out when finished chipping each time sees this doesn't happen again.... Hope this helps all the best Nathan
  2. lol abs! not in mine, sound like good figures though on your old one, will remember them. I will ask at the garage to see if he can test the box to see if he can read what its up to
  3. yes it is Jon, I will have to check the name of the box under the drivers seat. A mate of mine who used to work at Solihull landrover recognised the name but I don't and I don't know what its up to. Will check it out tomorrow to find the name. How about yours? Mega powered up with rads and intercooler?
  4. F.A.B im going to have a good look at them when they come out over here. will try and find a local dealer
  5. Jon, there not straight muds but all terrains I think running approx. 36psi. I always wanted BFG ats but at silverline they talked me into these for tyre development and said that these would last so here we go...
  6. That will be ok, maybe the extra weight will stop the thing from tipping up when your lobbing Lombardi through it lol
  7. And a very merry chrimbo and new year to you too. They are 265 75 r16. Collectively decided to go wider than the 235 which I originally wanted as I carry so much weight high up, so to spread the weight better to stop so much body roll. The last set were chuffin terrifying. They felt like they were about to tuck under and youd end up in a ditch
  8. Hi Mendiplogs, yes its a 110 hicap and since the new tyres have been on theres a rumble from underneath now as you slow down for roundabouts etc. I think Griff who services it now greased them up so its not been that loud of late but I did wonder after reading something about angled ujs??? Have you herd of them/ you know if these are worth it? All the best
  9. made some changes to mine since I last posted. I have lifted this 2" on progressives at the back to help with the weight of pulling the trailer with the kit on
  10. Hi Dan, the cs is approx. 29-30" wide. Your right about the ivy covered anything, I just chuck that ion the trailer... The box opening is quite wide though. I would just love it to have a feed roller type mechanism to cut out all those "re feeds" if you know what I mean
  11. Tim, I use a 1200 britpart winch, in the back of my truck. I asked the landy people who I bought it from if this was going to be a bit of over kill but they poured scorn on a cheap electric winch as they said it would work for a few months then pack up. So now I can pull trees over with it, apparently. Works well though with curved husqy ramps
  12. Hi all, Has anyone had a demo or got one of these cross country eliet with a throw pipe on? 20 jaar Eliet Super Prof Heres the link. It would just fit in the back of the landy, it has a feed roller of sorts but I am not sure its worth paying out for when I have a cs100. What I really want is a 25bhp roller fed cs100. Can anyone any body with a pencil from GREENMECH imagine this??
  13. long sleeved goalie tops with padded elbows from sports soccer about the same in cost to aspens. They seem to be holding up too.
  14. LOL Keep warm old chap, Im with Si tomorrow
  15. Hi Si Does Dom take that lovely bus to tip then???? All the best Nathan
  16. :001_smile:thanks guys:001_smile:
  17. Thanks Felix. T&Cs, something that I haven't gotten into as yet. I have always tried/ thought I maybe a good judge when it comes to making a business? Maybe I need to have a rethink. Will search terms on here thanks chaps
  18. Went round to tomorrows job this afternoon after a fine day doing multiple jobs at one address only to be greeted by" Oh no, you should have had a phone call/ text/email to say we didn't want you." This job was a Cypress dismantle 60ft, Oak crown raise and dead wood in a mature, a fully grown specimen. I was to do lots of dragging/ chipping whilst my mate mewps his merry way around. So not only have I spent time on 2 visits, phonecalls to customer, to council(TPO) etc, organised diaries plant etc and finally loss of work profit. She was so happy for me to get the job done and its been in the diary for 3 weeks. They changed the job spec and got someone else in Is there anything I can do to prevent losses in the future or is this just how it is?
  19. 550xpgon 15 and 576xpg on 20 + 24 bars, both on 8pins. Each to their own good luck
  20. Arb aid is a top kit. I think its Greg, one of the chaps there, nice fellow. At least you know hes put some thought into it and you can re order bits as and when dates come and go or you use them up. Its all there! Good luck
  21. Canopy looks quite dense so have you thought of thinning instead of a crown reduction? That will allow wind to pass through more easily taking the "sail like" factor away, therefor helping your tree to stand strong.
  22. Good work, premier cutting well done
