2.5 for me as well. Especially when sharpening. It happened so quickly after 43.

Relays can just wear out, I've replaced mine twice in 11 years, they don't cost so just do that. I hadn't realised it was petrol, does it sound the same as before? Youre the owner operator so you should notice if it's running poorly just by ear.

Yep, she certainly wasn't going to win any beauty contests!

Look forward the vid. Cool stuff. Well done.

The passing of an old faithful truck is the end of an era. Get some photos to remember it in 10 years

Reading glasses. You need them.

Out of curiosity I went through the whole thread, please show me the offensive and insulting posts.

Niceeeeeee.

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.

The 088 and presumably the biggest husky will pull big bars through hardwood with no effort. The 395 and it equivalent 66 still whilst terrific cannot easily ring up huge hardwood. My advice, buy the 3120 and get a couple of different bars.

Good vid, thanks for sharing. The "spike" is a useful, if a little risky, cut. I use it a lot on Lombardy pops Sharp saw needed. The risk I see from it is the pushing arm inadvertently coming down on the chain.

I put a tonne and a quarter of topsoil on mine, (weighed on a weigh bridge) it was like driving a boat, sitting right on the bottom of the springs. Genuinely dangerous, 25mph max. The idea of another 3/4 of a tonne is unthinkable. If that is a picture of 2 tonne of chip on your lr. Then sorry, I don't belive you. Even if it is, the idea it was "no bother" is dubious.

Land Rover tippers don't hold diddly squat, you'll spend the whole day doing runs to your tip.

Perfect combo for a small firm.

Looked good, perhaps dead sycamore is not the greatest of challenges however. I Iike it though

Great pics, good thinking on the excavator winch combo.

But alders have cones!! Anyway let's forget about names, we all know what we're talking about. Thing is will softwood ever be commercially viable as firewood in the UK. If so would someone come and get a huge pile of the stuff from my yard. Poplar and willow included. I don't do firewood but I suspect there is not a lot of margin, it's all about handling, if your dropping 20 percent or whatever, surely there's nothing in it after processing, storing, delivering etc.

Just to qualify I mean a chip truck, an ordinary 4wd hilux etc is brilliant for towing, reversing big trailers, off road use etc.
-
Interesting about the fuel filter and the over zealous power washing. It's strange how many problems occur after a service. We assume some mechanical Jedi is on it whereas often it's a work experience kid.

Prepare for some pillow biting! -
I love Timbermcpherson's take on it. I reckon a significant proportion of people who say they need a 4wd Arb truck actually just WANT a 4wd arb truck.

I guess there are two options. 1The stress control is faulty so try replacing all the relays, should be available at any motor factors. Check the signal unit which checks the wheel speed hasn't got dirt around it. Feck around with the buttons a bit. 2. The thing isn't chipping properly. Check belts, manually look again at the blades/anvil. I'd guess the stress control unit is on its way home. Easy Fix but pricey.

At the beginning I was a bit underwhelmed but then it got going it was very impressive, Saved a lot of snedding, love it, want it!!!

Increasingly with all the different numbers, freephone, Skype, mobile etc I think people are less concerned with landlines. 5 years ago things were different.

Here's a pic, a few chips out of it but pulls in as good as ever.
