When you but a chipper or anything mechanical you are given an owners manual, init usually there is a service schedule etc, with my chipper it explains what to do when changing blades, clean blade pockets, torque bolts, use copper grease, use genuine parts etc. This is put there for a reason, this is the way the manufacturer has designed the machine to be run.
-
Yawn. I forgot you know everything about everything.
-
I really don't see why you have to take the pee? I'm putting across what I have been led to believe of the manufacturing process that goes into making genuine TW blades.
-
Why would you not torque them? They have torque wrench settings for things for a reason. Glad you don't fix aeroplanes:)
-
Funny the only time I used Saturn knives in my TW they cracked. They were torqued correctly. I have never used them since. This is my opinion on blades.
-
Why not give them a call and ask them? I'm just putting across what was told to me but Timberwolf. I wouldn't think they would tell porkys.
-
I don't know how Jensen, greenmech or forst make there blades but I'm sure they will be made to a high spec and standard. Maybe aftermarket blades are made the same but if you use genuine parts and there is a problem and you go back to the manufacturer with the product you have a better case if using genuine parts then non genuine.
-
That's because they are the real thing, I use the same.
-
Timberwolf make there own blades and use a secret process that is different to any other company. The blades from that batch then are tested and if not up to standard they are rejected. This is what I have been told by Timberwolf themselves.
-
Depends on what chipper, TW non genuine are not made the same as genuine ones. The metal is different and it does not go through the same Manufacturing process.
-
Not if there Timberwolf. Timberwolf make their own blades, these are then stamped with genuine Timberwolf. The aftermarket TW do not go through the same manufacturing process. As for other makes I can't comment.
-
I've heard this about non genuine blades, apparently they are not made from as high quality steel that has been tempered/processed or whatever. Buy cheap, buy twice.
-
That fair enough and I would do the same if I was in your situation. My point was that this experience has been a bit of a range of emotions for you and has to be used to your advantage in the future. Let's hope the customer puts the word out that they crew that did that are poor. All the best.
-
The customer trusted the other guy who did the job, the reason you didn't get the job is because they had made a cock up and booked someone else before they accepted your quote etc, they did the honest thing and let u down as they had already said yes to the other bloke. Now he did a crap job and that's crap for them and the other bloke is a tosser for ripping them off. End of the day you have got the job and yes it isn't nice for them but use it to your advantage in the future when quoting for jobs. The other thing is you work for a company so regular wage, holiday pay etc, you do these jobs at the weekend etc, this is taking work of companys isn't it, but that's life so just put it in the life experience file and move on.

Trust you to have a local with a tree as it name Paul:)

I would also recommend firing a heavy duty rear anti roll bar as once you have a chip box on the like to roll. I have just fitted one to my 130 and it has made a huge difference.
-
The tipper will come down quicker once you have a chip body on as they can be a bit light.

I've had a similar situation, street tree on a bit of land no one claims they own, all the houses along the street cut the grass on no mans land infrint of there property, some people prune the trees some don't. This lady wants it gone. I spoke to TO and he said there is no TPO or ca and you could use the adopted land thing, however he also said if the tree did come down then you could get in trouble so best speak to the town council rather than district TO. I got his number and gave it to the lady and let her sort it all out. This took 10 mins whilst I was pruning a tree in her garden. She has now been to 4 site meetings and has been in dozens of conversations etc and still got no where. I'm glad I got out when I did. My advice, give her the councils phone number and let her sort it.
-
Cool, thanks.

What is the gearbox fitted to a 2003 Td5?
-
Today I had quite a bit of timber on the Landy and no trailer, I drove to my yard and it was a very different ride, she did not rock around anywhere near as much as she used to. I then unloaded and put a dumpy bag of logs on and again you hardley new IT was loaded. I think the upgraded anti roll bar is a great mod to my 130 tipper.
