    Problem with them is weight. Put that on your 3.5 tonner and you can legally carry your lunch. The Funeral people use them here to put gravestones in position, I talked to the guy at the cafe after having a look round one, he said that’s all they can do with it, otherwise it’s over the limit.

    Well cos I get an answer which gets me to work the next day (the 150) If you wanted to create a debate about this item, great, but why not find out what they cost, then discuss its merits?
  3. Mick Dempsey
    Why don’t you ask them?

    I have tried that, no difference, I think the rollers could use a touch up with a dremmel. I did that to a GM220 and it transformed it. Anyway, it functions well enough for the little trim jobs for the moment so I’m happy.

    Ha ha! Here it is, where I left it in the bonnet lock!

    Damn straight Chris! Now if someone could help me find the key to my transit, that’d be great!

    Well suck me dry and call me Dusty! It worked! I can only imagine the mechanic played with it when finding the other fault. Thanks to all for your help. I I can just improve the fork crushing power a bit we might have a chipper on out hands!

    Thanks Jase, figured that out, found the blue dial, turned it down from the max. off out the back to give it a go.
  9. Mick Dempsey
    Was kind of hoping for a dial, but it all looks fixed.
  10. Mick Dempsey
    Sounds to me like the oil hole blocked or something similar.
  11. Mick Dempsey
    Many anvils can be turned in situ to a fresh edge.

    I keep seeing a company called Auto-Feed Plus on FB who do aftermarket stress control units for chippers. Looks simple enough to fit (well for anyone handy) Worth a look.

    Pay for the full day are my thoughts.
  14. Mick Dempsey
    Ok, thanks, I’ll open it up and have a look Sunday morning. I’ll report back.
  15. Mick Dempsey
    Hadn’t seen that, good spot.
  16. Mick Dempsey
    I wish, strictement interdit these days. (that was 4 years ago, it’s bigger now)

    You could be right, just throwing it out there, the bark of lime is oak like so can be passed off to the unwary by the unscrupulous. Need to smell the wood, and feel the weight and see the buds to be sure.
  18. Mick Dempsey
    Pic 2 could be lime.

    Ok, thanks Stu, it seemed to do it all day, so after the weekend I’ll try and find out about adjusting the box. Appreciate your chiming in
  20. Mick Dempsey
    It’s not the do as you likeys, that’s for sure.

    So they rung up and loaded 6 tonnes by hand in rings in an afternoon, tough day. They still have to split it, market it and deliver it.
  22. Mick Dempsey
    Send ‘em round here, this lot will keep them busy.
  23. Mick Dempsey
    Of course. I don’t doubt it, I just think that sneaking in and cutting green oak logs with an admittedly sharp chainsaw, seems like very hard work, for very little reward, and a lot of risk. I mean why not just go into the woods and have a bit of free firewood? It’s laying out there. In a minimum of 2 years!
  24. Mick Dempsey
    That is the oddest theft I’ve ever heard of.
  25. Mick Dempsey
    No, this is the first time, though I haven’t used it much. Is this the white rds box?
