APF 2022, Pete Bags drinking red wine through a straw. Good times.

Pleasure working with you Pete. We wish you all the best in the future.

We have a nice GreenMech Quadchip 160 for sale. £7,500 + VAT. Ok it won't perform like an ST6 or TW230 but it has the benefit of a turntable.

There were rumours they had the CS100 drawings in their office. It isn't overly surprising though, it has been in production for 15 years and arguably the bench mark chipper in 4" gravity feed. We have mentioned the CS100 discharge chute to the GM factory, their swivel is a good design.

We have a 2025 EVO 165D in stock for sale, 18 hours on the clock. 2.5 years warranty remaining. It'll be advertised today and looking at £18,500. We export a number of used machines to France and Europe. Got a 2023 EVO 165P going to France in the next week or two once transport is arranged.

Depending where you are in East Midlands, Ranskill Hire would be a good option.

We have tried exporting stuff without a COC in the past. It isn't a goer. The only official way is to fit the chipper onto a trailer with COC.

No, its a clear/white plastic 90 degree filter.

There is a 90 degree fuel filter under the fuel tank. You need to remove the fuel tank to change it. Have you replaced this? Most folk don't know it is there... Quite a few petrol engines backfire on over run as they become driven by the drum/flywheel when throttling down. You could take the belts off, run the engine and see if it still happens. On a CS you'll need to refit the belt guard to activate the guard switch.

I have 2x Ford coilpacks mounted on the front of the engine, a blank where the distributor was, crank sensor & trigger wheel on the pulley and the ECU is inside the car.

Sounds like it needs converting to coilpack and ecu! I did my Rover V8 and transformed it.

Sounds like the O rings have failed on the pressure relief valve. Locate your hydraulic valve block with the solenoid coils and remove the PRV. Think its like a 22mm spanner from memory. Also, get a volt meter and check to see if you still have 12v on the forward hirchsmann plug when the rollers are stopping. As others have said, check your drive belts. Both flywheel and hydraulic pump. The hydraulic pump belt on the old TW125 are quite fiddly to tension.

You would only get one roller stopping unless both splines were shot at the same time. Quite common those splines going, largely the reason they moved to replaceable couplings. As you say, can take a bit of finding the first time. Next time you know where to dive into straight away
