redmoose, thanks for the reply. good link. I use a cordless angle grinder fitted with diamond disc to do in field sharpening (like to keep teeth SHARP), in the workshop use a green grit wheel to sharpen and send them off to have them machine sharpened. I have learnt over the last 25 yrs of stump grinding to keep the teeth really sharp. I find that you cannot get them as good as a machine shop ! had hoped to get a post with the name of a sharpener. Have found a machine shop in Dewsbury who may be able to do the work at a good price, will try them. Other than that QRMS prices probably make sense to replace instead, just hate waste!

1986 ford transit single wheel non tipper. had petrol engine removed from a ford capri, racing camshaft, tuned and fitted with huge twin choke webber carb, span the rear wheels on take off and passed a ton easily (private roads only!!). Replaced with twin wheel tipper, sadly missed

use cheap finger teeth on the dosko, yer do break and sometimes bend but thats to be expected! use super tooth on the vermeer and as I have lots of spares will probably keep using them for the forseeable, when I start to run out then will probably swap to yellow jackets. So where do I get them shapened fellas?

Yer, scbk is spot on! rang insurance to check if my windscreen was covered, said yes, decided to get rid of the van so didnt claim. Next renewel it seems I have a claim on record, !!!!! Feel for anyone having their gear stolen, just had stihl blower and strimmer taken from the truck, directly behind me, whist cutting a hedge. £500 excess, £750 replacement, decided not to claim.

I was using the cheaper gas packs and had problems, repairers said the cheaper gas didnt have enough lubricant properties, gone back to Paslode gas and have had no issues! Paslode 350, now 8 yrs old, says something!

Hi, This is just my opinion but, get some experience at it under your belt, local authority tree inspector, do a few years and then move on. -
scbk, I've tried many different products over the years and we no longer have the good ones that used to work! Jeyes fluid works well but stinks, i like the smell but customers dont!!! recommend MMC Pro, it works

dig it out, bloody hell, too much spare energy !! £120 as a one off, £75 if working in the area doing other stumps, obviously dependant of access.

many years ago I had a small Jotel stove, we used to close the stove down at the end of the night, lift the ring out of the top and pour woodchip in. This would be left until the next evening when I would open the flue and front vent, it would fire up and be ready for logs. The stove never went out for the winter. had no grate in it and it would go for 3 months before any ash needed taking out. This may not be recommended , I'm just saying...
