Southern wood energy chips for us with a lorry mounted machine. He's based in Wimborne. Might be too far for him but it could be worth the travelling it if you have a big quantity. How much have you got to chip?

Priming Injectors on a Kubota 35hp
cornish wood burner replied to Sussex Groundie's topic in Large equipment
The sediment bowls normally have a gauze filter at the top. Easy to miss. -
Lots of good saws around but you fancy a stihl then go for it. If you can't see the use for a bigger saw then 181 with a 14 inch bar will be better on fuel than a bigger saw, chains and bars cheaper. Slower of course and wouldn't last so long as a bigger pro saw but if you're not going to earn your living with it then time is not really an issue unless you want it to be. At a push it would still cut up to 28inch dia from both sides if you are prepared to take your time. We've had about 25 leylandii up to 28 inch diameter and 50 ft high taken down by a guy with nothing more than a ms211 with a 16 inch bar. Didn't take any longer per tree than the other firm with all the pro kit. However if you think you will want to cut faster then spend your money now.

While the head is off check the liners are not below the block surface. If they are then blowing gaskets will be the result.

Hi Phil I totally understand your mans double handling to shake out the stones. We get the same problem with the wood that's brought to us. I think the biggest problem is when a lorry clears up the bottom of the stack. Most are carefull but we certainly have one rogue one. Anyway your chipper twin engined 500 hp, presumably that is the total of the blower and chipper. What's the split between the two? It seems to me the stress is coming in very quickly as if the engine is down on power. That prompted my comment not the handling which I understand. It is a 30 inch?

Depending on winter temperatures I buy a couple of thousand tonnes every year from Euroforest, no hassle and a good price. Some years ago I was offered wood direct, bypassing EuroForest so you would think without their cut it would be cheaper. Several pounds more! so obviously someone was trying it on or being greedy. If it had been a sensible price I might have gone for it. That was not an isolated incident so if my experience is the same as other end users then no wonder Euroforest have a big say in prices here. Same would apply to Tilhil etc in their chosen areas. £40 must be a rip off delivered price.

Tread carefully, did you see the blood stain still on the front corner of spuds axe.
-
Ah that would explain it. Didn't think it was hickory
-
So the second one I have untouched in a box should be worth a bit then.
-
Certainly is in my wood shed. Saws. Computers. Axes. No end of your talent sir
-
I ran the sander over this little axe and ner& co Sheffield came up. Turner? Presumably 3 means 3 lbs. it has a very thin blade. Anyone any idea of age and use.
-
That looks very very slow for a 30" chipper.

Why are these caps off? Kubota engine

I would never reuse a core plug unless it was a "get you home" measure. If they popped out in use it would be a rapid coolant loss and probably cook the engine very shortly after. -
As Stubby says probably running lean on that cylinder. Inlet rather than exhaust I would think. Check inlet manifold gasket and bolts

We've had a 110hp earlier one for many years. Couple of brake issues but mainly due to standing for long periods. We've put over 100k on it since buying it with few problems, bit rusty now but not as bad as our Iveco chassis. All drivers prefer the sprinter to the Iveco even though the Iveco has done less and is almost 10 years newer.

Log boiler with an automatic feed - know of any?
cornish wood burner replied to ccharlie's topic in General chat
I've seen a log feed by a conveyor system. It was feeding recycled wood, sawdust and logs. Much larger boiler than you have in mind though. Uniconfort at certainly wood if I remember correctly. Biggest problem would be cost and complexity. Conveyor systems and walking floors are probably the most reliable of the feed systems used on the bigger boilers but you wouldn't like the cost. -
375nm =276 ft lbs 300nm =221 ft lbs so 55 ft lbs more Fiat 500 twin air is limited to 100 nm in eco mode more in normal, if you want a small car comparison Hope that helps

Granted they are not so stable with the wheels turned but the worst thing I've seen is travelling / turning with the load raised. Always travel with the load as low as possible and of course boom in.
-
4 wheel, crab steer what's not to like. It lets you use a big machine in places you wouldn't believe. You will be well pleased I'm sure.
-
Presumably you have some sort of solenoid in the main circuit to run the pump. Put a live feed to the small terminal on this to prove whether it's the control or power circuit. Bypass things to prove them and work through the circuits.

An alternator takes around 2 hp depending on its output. Normally has a small diameter pulley so it runs fast at low engine rpm. The result of this is it can slip when accelerating or heavy load if the belt it not tight enough. Needs to be tighter than you would think especially if it's a multi v and had some wear. Check it before you rip anything apart or spend money.
-
First step is to check the alternator drive belt is tight

Sorry yes 216. Biggest problem is the starting current which will be a few times normal running so you're right to be concerned. Low voltage is not good for motors anyway as I guess you probably know. The double wedge works well as it splits from whichever end is weakest. It does save reading the wood and turning the log around for a single wedge (or maul). Also occasionally a log might have a hidden burr or knot which makes it split from the unexpected end. I have read different specs of the manual 10T splitter suggesting 5 or 8 tonnes force. My Fm16 is 8 tonnes so the force might be worth verifying. Those ads seem to show very easy splitting wood which made me wonder. A step up from a maul if you have a lot of knots or big diameters though.

It might have been sidelights left on or something. Presumably the freelander was used a week or two before the battery went flat, so if it happens again I would get your charging system checked.
-
2012 highly unlikely to have failed that quick. Batteries normally last around 8 to 12 years now. Most probable cause is something draining it. Light left on etc. As said charge it overnight. When did you use the freelancer last? Lots of small drains now immobiliser etc so battery's only last a few weeks before they don't have enough charge to start the engine
