    A little crushed I’ll admit. I’d say firstly, stop using it, or catastrophic failure might happen What does the smoke smell of, oil, rubber or anything identifiable ?
  4. Mick Dempsey
    Imo no.

    I would say that the 540 has come as close as anything to dethroning the 201, but not quite, not yet.
  6. Mick Dempsey
    Well, that was easy!

    Does the exhaust blow out of the chute?

    If that involves dragging her to the top of a tree then throwing the recalcitrant bitch out, then I agree.

    I mean I love it, but I don’t trust it, some days it just won’t play ball.

    Too finicky and temperamental. Good when it’s in the mood.

    I think weight of flywheel is a key factor, the heavier the more inertia or something. Anyway, I’m clearly out of my depth so I’ll wait for the experts to correct me.
  12. Mick Dempsey
    Yep I was 100% wrong.
  13. Mick Dempsey
    Yes, you make a good point, could be flywheel speed. My Schliesing wants to be at 1800 as well, thought that was rpm, may well be wrong!

    My older (in his late 70s) mate bought one of those table top electric splitters. I took the piss but he showed me it working and it was really quite good, didn’t cost a lot and saved him a lot of effort. If you like splitting by hand go ahead, but these things aren’t useless.

    I think they run a bit slower than that, my GM 150 with a 34 hp engine is 1800 rpm when chipping.

    My spaniel used to dig down to cool sand as well

    If I said I was fighting them off with a shitty stick, I’d be lying.

    Is there a woman involved? If you put Germany in the search function and narrow it down to Thread titles there’s lots of job ads and discussion.

    The cat in the vid has its claws retracted.

    2003 heatwave, I remember it well, we were in Croatia on holiday, miserable heat, ex communist hotel, no air con.
  22. Mick Dempsey
    Mafting! And hotter tomorrow.

    Good for you, best of luck.

    He certainly has more than a bit of the devil about him. Generally though, considering he’s a re-home/rescue, we got very lucky with him.
