  1. Think you'll find a clutch on a chipper is a chocolate fireguard. Belts are for driving pulleys as a petrol engine unless it's a brute has very poor torque, even diesels have their limitations. Exception would be say a gearbox driven unit, but that's sacrificing speed for torque, with the stress controlling the feeding not the engine.
  2. Think you'll find Chester is more down to it's local availability of oak, places like Delamere and the earl of Chester owning lots of it. Bricks were a later material mostly at sea/harbour areas especially as empty ships needed ballast and bricks were cheap.
  3. So basically a metal mesh on top of a pallet that won't rot. So basically an IBC, there was a guy on YouTube that even cut out one rung section on the front for access.
  4. 8kn (Koreans) is equal to one small labradoodle.
  5. Personally my first check would be any safety features including the infeed especially if it has a hinged safety switch.
  6. Exactly, they pay to tip and it all gets chipped into biomass. In all fairness he wasn't that negative about the chipping ability. It was more the feed mechanism needed a more grab friendly setup that's more aggressive and funnels anything into the feed rollers. Which isn't a surprise as he's a Italian pezalatto from David the Haycaps guy.
  7. Solenoid valve coil SP-COU-24DC/80 12DC/80 COI-230/50/60/80 Inner diameter 18mm | eBay UK WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for Solenoid valve coil SP-COU-24DC/80 12DC/80... 12v DC should be fine
  8. Someone heading to Water Lane Farm ?
  9. Loader Joystick Kit 1 x 3rd service button for Alo Quicke Massey Trima Case | eBay UK WWW.EBAY.CO.UK (Cable Not Included). Case International 1985 >. 384 484 584 684 784 884. 354 374 444 454 474 475 574 674. 856XL 956XL... Cheaper to just replace the joystick, unless you need both buttons. Mine has two buttons, one for 3rd service and one for electronic clutch.
  10. I'm sure those friendly tit whisperer greens and half the labour party will be paying Donald and Nigel's cigar and bar tab.
  11. And you think Starmer and his useless clan of European despot's are doing any better than virtue signalling and doing diddly squat?. If Donald is playing chess, Starmer and the EU are barely able to play tag in the playground.
  12. And didn't everyone's favourite spawn of evil Satan Tony also allow the closure of all those nice bases in Germany. Funny how for over fifty years things were quiet until the Germans asked us to leave and the spiral to the current situation.
  13. Atleast the Venezuela dictator had a bit of business acumen!.
  14. I ran LPG vehicles for donkeys years, 120k+ miles but went back to petrol on the next car as the price became almost equal to lpg, yes it ran clean and oil changes were almost pointless as it was crystal clear. I've recollections of diesel engine having a size before the dpf emissions stuff was required but I'm a KISS guy when it comes to equipment. Just imagine an LPG running out half way through a job miles from home etc. I'm guessing a petrol chipper will need to go 3000rpm if it's 1-2 cylinders or 1500 if it's 3-4, other than say clean air zones you lose all the benefits very quickly, it's like a niche within a couple of more niches.
  15. You'd just use forklift gas cylinders, swap in and out. But aren't you just adding further expense and complexity Vs almost the exact same Kubota lump running on road diesel. You're not going to be getting any weight savings either
