  1. I was thinking of opting for a TP250 or 270 in Sept but if your having this issue I dont think I will take the chance.
  2. Getting parts here in Ireland for husky stuff is beyond a joke. I’d recommend a 540i but mine was 4 months waiting for a part in warranty.
  3. yes I was going for a swinging rotator and grapple; down the line I might opt for a shears or something that can cut and feed.
  4. I’m looking into a tp 250 pto chipper; a tractor as a base suits as it’s versatile. I’m looking at a 3 ton Kubota with a grapple to feed it; but I’d a 3 ton ok? I don’t want something too big or heavy. how are others getting on with mini diggers in the 3 ton category feeding chippers etc?
  5. My local husky and stihl dealer (Ireland) is selling the Ama and says they cannot get Aspen
  6. Thanks lads, went into dealer today and gave him the part numbers so be interesting to see if he can get the parts.
  7. Thanks lads this is what my dealer advised, but wasnt sure what decomp valve to use as he says there are different valves and pop at different pressures, but i would have thought a similar 55cc saw would match? Someone else told me I might get the part in the USA
  8. Can anyone help? My saw is with my dealer they have conducted a leak test and found the hose that comes out of the lower end of crankcase to the decompression button is torn or leaking; but cannot get a new part. Blocking isnt a guarantee and run with a manual decompression button. Has anyone else been through this? Parts may be available elsewhere?
  9. that wouldnt be impossible or too hard to do?
  10. what is the policy with crane feeding chippers? Under health and safety legislation, what is the requirement? Can a standard chipper be used with smaller cranes or mini diggers feeding? Or do you need to use a designated crane feed chipper? Also with using say a 2.7-3 ton mini digger, grapple and rotator, is the provision of cab guarding, is it just steel bars on front window, or is Marglass or bullet proof glass required?
  11. Fault finding is an art, if possible, I would wire in a volt meter into the harness somewhere, just to make sure you are getting 12-14v continously, all you need is an earth for a split second, but if you found that voltage drop at the time the rollers stop, you def know its electrical. I have coils and solinoids on my tree spade and generally they are trouble free, but they can corrode and cause problems, and internally too. I had some go on a fendt tractor so they are wear items. I would also mount a pressure gauge into the roller pipes, and again see what is happening in real work situations; if youy find the pressure rises, then it might be a blockage or brearing; but if it lowers then its a leak in the system. Failing all that its either trade in for new, or get a proper pro to have a look; but theres no fun in any of those options and our missus's would castrate us if they found out
  12. I cant run leads to mine, and its a right pain taking out batteries, not that it takes long, its just a pain. I was just thinking of trying a single solar panel and trying it out. I see fold up suitcase ones but id be terrified they would only last a few goes.
  13. Placing rubber under the battery or making the battery tray 'isolated' would reduce vibration. I have to come up with a solution for parked up kit and a tipper trailer and rather than having to remove batteries and charge, Im thinking of an solar panel charger. Still researching, but like the concept. For me its easy as all at home; but Im also hoping to use one with a battery to power a laptop through an inverter where I picus test. So anyone that has a solar charger setup that lasts longer than a month, Im all ears. Original poster; I really like your post driver concept.
