Quarry Wood Timber

I got mine from Radmore and Tucker, did spend a bit of time looking into the importer, Powergen, they are a fairly big co with good financials and have most of the spares on their site.  For the cost I throught it was worth a punt as a Leading brand option was over 4 times the cost, I don't rely on it to provide me with an income - if I did I would go for a main brand with 1st class backup.

Just joined the Wee Chipper Club with the Hyundai 100mm chipper.  Done a bit of Hawthorn hedge, Poplar, a Larch tree and a few evergreen shrubs with no problems so far, only thing is the narrow wheelbase makes it a little unstable, I have rolled it twice,  first time on tarmac?, made an bit of a mess of the paint but no other damage, seems well made.

Came with mid table and foot pedle for short stuff.

Memory tells me it was about 3k new but that was at least 5 years ago.  Can't comment on how it compairs to the electric one.

It is a Thor splitter 34.VS.10.PD.  https://www.daviesimplementsltd.co.uk/product/forestry/log-splitters/magik-and-super-magik/

Yes split into billets and stack as picture below, cover the top with a tarp. Does mean they can be got down to 18% moisture in one spring and summer if catching the wind and sun right. 

They are fantastic, had it a few years now and it has never missed a beat, the speed/power that comes on the splitter is very effective at keeping the speed up but has the power when needed.

Spent the afternoon splitting sycamore into billets plus a few logs from the splinters,  now need to get the top covered over.

250kg at full reach and 900kg right in, is just a manual pump operation, sold by Sealey

Hi Rough Hewn, the crane comes with a 300mm approx square plate on the base so I welded it to a 600mm square plate that is bolted through the side rail, front rail and goes down through the bed and picks up the main chassis rail with spaces between the bed and rail to keep it all nice and rigid.  Will try and find a pic if I can. 

Just a bit on the heavy side, over for trailer but ok for the vehicle ?

Have you checked out the Tobroco Giant machines?  It answers your bulletproofness ok!

Nice Antonio Carraro reverse drive tractor there HertsWoods

If you need any servicing or parts etc then Kirkland UK are the guys - not too far from you either.

I used to own the 110 in the profile pic, then that got sold so i got another 110 which i loved (photos below), v sorry to see it go but now running round in a Disco 4 commercial.

I've got a plug in chip that i did have on the latest one if anyone is considering then i'm open for offers, it was £395 new. It's the one on this link

Is it a fixed or extendable boom? Cheers

Swinny, it's an extendable boom - 4.8m reach from ground.

Yes correct, it is a Kirkland machine.

It's around the 2.9T mark, with an attachment like this and the right sort of trailer we still tow behind Discovery's on a plant trailer.

Not quite today but I thought it may spark some interest... This was clearing an area for a friend last week, with the help of the very useful Giant Tendo machine...also finishing the day with a fire!

Thanks Garden Kit

I will give the cables a good lube and go from there.

Hi Gardenkit,

I have a Honda HR1950 (DOM1992), i purchased it 2nd hand and it all looked good, starts on the first pull every time.

One problem that has emerged is that when i let go of the self propel bar it carries on powering forward dragging me off in to the flower beds

To make sure it stops when requested i have to let go of self propel bar and lift the rear of the mower up taking the weight off the roller - to which it stops on the button. - it has resulted in me breaking the handle which i now have to weld up

Any ideas on what it might be?

Thanks

Daniel

Thanks Garden Kit

The belts are genuine parts and they are fitted correctly.

The wear pattern is equal wearing of the v section.

It is driven by a few people and always has been so not sure we can point to that one.

It is causing me some what of a brain ache I must say.

Help!

I have been attempting looking after a Husqvarna Pro Rider 18 AWD ride on mower and have run in to a few problems and could do with some help.

The machine is an 2008 model and has about 180 hrs on the clock, the garden it operates in is about 3/4 of an acre but is fairly steep at points as it is on the side of a old quarry.

The machine performed fine for the first few years, not missing a beat but in the last couple of years it has consumed 8 drive belts (from engine to hydraulic pump)with the length of time they are lasting getting shorter and shorter.

Husqvarna advised that it could be caused by the syn between the front and rear axle being out, this has been checked and adjusted but there has been no improvement in belt wear.

I have checked all wheel bearings and they are fine but when i try and turn the font diff by hand it is very stiff and offers a lot of resistance compared to the rear diff.

Has anyone out there had any experience with this machine or got an idea what might be wrong.

The machine is based in Kent.

I would be grateful for some help.

Does any one in Kent hire out Blec Power Box Rake with 2 wheel tractors??

The lack of hire companies in Kent area offering ground preparation equipment make me want to start my own hire company.

Thanks

I will give them a call in the morning, not that far from where I am.

I am looking to hire a compact tractor with a stone rake/power harrow to prepare a garden for seeding.

I cannot find anyone in the Maidstone area or Kent for that matter.

Will consider buying a small 2nd hand machine at the right money and moving it on after the job is done.

If anyone knows of a company in Kent that hires or somebody that has got one to sell it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Daniel
