Thanks David, That's exactly what it looks like. It looks like the tree has bad reduction at some time , big rip cuts on the trunk.
-
Can anyone help , I looked at a large oak today with a large yellow fungi /bract on the trunk about half way up. I would post a picture but I don't know what the url of the image is.

Yep exactly what Rob says, we also work closely with our local TO and it does get you a lot of recommendations also don't be nervous about asking their advice, ours anyway is very knowledgeable and more than happy to help with any problems . -
Me and the family spent the day at croom in Worcestershire today and all the ash still hadn't broken bud yet, never noticed it before but the lack of leaves seem to make them stand out.

I use ocean poly VT on 13 mm for my lanyard and find it works fine ,iv also used the knut and again I think this is as good as the VT , but as stihlmadasever mentioned zig zag is a great bit of kit on 11.7 rope. If you have the money this is what I would use.

That's ok thanks for the info it all helps !

Yes, I stripped the carb down and after wrestling with the removal of the accelerator piston it was scored. Don't know if the new carb has an accel pump just thought it was a direct replacement
-
Ok, so thanks to stubby pointing me in the right direction I traced the fault to the accelerator pump and decided to buy a new carb of the tinter net. Works fine and today I dismantled two large conifers with it no probs..... the carb cost £14.00 how long do you all think it will last ???

i did my tickets at 43 came out of the forces and just booked onto the courses. Started working for a few local arborists to learn the trade, these guys were over 40 and showed me loads. Now running my own set up and if big stuff comes in I just get a subcontract climber in to help out. First year though I did ache every day though:001_smile: Go for it that's what I say.
-
yep that's them ...any good ?
-
I don't think they are they look different on the images on tinternet.. looks like you can buy a new carb 200t on ebay for about 20 quid don't know what they would be like though.
-
Yeah so do I , iv spent all day rebuilding it to still have the same fault.. iv got the new 201 and yes its a good saw but well you know the 200 is just great !
-
Thanks Stubby I will have a look into this
-
No checked the impulse line and getting good compression even changed the fuel cap o ring ....
-
Ok, I have just referb my old 200t total strip down and rebuild . The reason for this is it has developed a running fault, runs lumpy until you blip the throttle then at full revs runs fine come off the throttle and it bogs down, few more revs then its ok again. I found the crank case seals leaking so replaced these , the local stihl supplier set up the carb and it ran sweet every time I used it until it sat unused for about 2weeks. Yep started first time then same fault. It seems to get better after it has been running for about 20 mins ?? Can any one has any one had a similar fault ,or can some one suggest anything. Thanks for reading .
-
Thanks Darrin
-
Is anyone able to email me the workshop manual for the 200t please ?

Had a phone call from a distraught customer that had a " tree surgeon " in to pollard her willow. They charged her £1200 and after the first day asked for £800 up front because they needed to pay for the chipper hire..... this is what they left [ATTACH]218507[/ATTACH] so cowboys sometimes aint cheep !
-
I do feel you pain .... I had to have my JRT put to seep 3 weeks ago, she was 15 and came to work with me most of those working days. I only lasted a week before the wife found a litter local to me and I chose a lovely little dog that hopefully will start coming to work in the new year.... but I do miss the old dog a lot more than I thought I would.
-
No the key is never left in the ignition when the chipper isn't used and its only the starter key on its own not a bunch hanging down. Might just fit a 3 pos switch and be done with it.
-
Lol yes the new barrel cost alot ..must remember the spoon trick .
-
Well tbh I bought this 2nd hand so cant comment on how it was driven with the previous owner so this could be the reason , it does bounce a lot though at low speeds ..... the new axle seems to have cured this. Any one had problems with the starter key breaking ?
-
Just thought I would ask the question, has anyone had any problems with the axle of their greenmech chipper. After leaving site last week I lost the drivers side wheel while doing about 40mph. As you can see from the picture the stub shaft failed. The chipper is 750kg and the axle rated at 850kg, I have now upgraded to 1350kg. Two local arborists have other models both Greenmech and although they didn't have a wheel come off they both have had issues, cracked welds on the axle and the wheels start to point inwards ie the rubber grommets inside the box section behind the wheel hubs failing. Don't get me wrong this chipper is amazing for its size and apart from the key snapping inside the key barrel (this has happened twice in 18 month ) i have no problem with it , just wanted to know if anyone had any experience with this or its one of those things. Luckily no one was hurt or property damaged when the accident happened.

Yep that would be my choice did my other tickets with martin and Dak but doesn't look like they are running any course.

Evening all... Can anyone recommend a trainer in the midlands running cs41 in the next month or so? Thanks baz.
