  1. I can easily add the charge on the quote/job for my tipper vehicle, but my pickup is my only other means of transport. So nipping to the shop etc or picking the grandkids up at weekend is going to cost 🤣
  2. Hi, no charge on motorways, but in Bolton you can’t get to the motorways without passing a camera just before every entry junction
  3. Hi everyone , hope Christmas was good to you all. Not sure if many know about the Greater Manchester clean air zone charge? And it’s the WHOLE of the zone not just the city centre. From 2023 any pre 2016 diesel van, pickup, motor home, horse box will be charged from £10 per day when used, business or private. That’s an average of 2.5-3k per year on running costs per vehicle. Please could everyone join the current FB group that are trying to get the scheme cancelled. Nothing may come of it but there’s no harm trying. Any input on the page would be greatly appreciated. https://www.facebook.com/groups/greatermanchestercaz
  4. Just build your own, we got this done by ourselves yesterday. Cheap n cheerful. £90 for the box section, £350 for the Ali checker plate, £30 on bits n bobs. Going to paint it up to match the cab and eventually make a fresh tailgate
  5. Beltin, there are some great people on here ?
  6. Hi, it runs great when on throttle but doesn’t idle on tickover, I’d take it to dealers to plug in but .....£££
  7. Hi Dan, yes all done including a reset. Thinking it might just need a kick or two ?
  8. Hi all, as above my 241 is playing up, starts fine from cold but if you put it down for a few seconds to move brash etc it cuts out, will only start again with choke on even when warm. Any ideas? It's the m-tronic so no screws to turn ?
  9. Has anyone actually had hands on with one of these grinders? If so what are pros/cons, they look a little odd but it's certainly ticking boxes as my next purchase. Was thinking of the FSI b22 but currently being put off by the 14hp engine.
  10. Throwing another choice into the mix isn’t helping ?
  11. Hi all, looking at a different stump grinder. Currently only have a cheap rock machinery one with a 14hp Kohler engine and I've had a new wheel fabricated so it has 500 series greenteeth on it. Just sick of wrestling with the thing at the end of a long day as it doesn't pivot above the wheels. Currently looking at a new FSI b22 or a used Bandit 2250n, mainly domestic jobs, typically rows of Conifer stumps 12-24 inch diameter. I know they are totally different machines but just looking for an easier way of grinding, opinions greatly appreciated as I'm on my second week of trying to decide ?
  12. Just had an update from GM, they’ve contacted the manufacturer about the issue.
  13. Can’t decide if this guys an idiot or genius ? have you seen better ones? Post them up ? bit of harmless fun to beat the lockdown
  14. I’ll have a look in morn then post on here
  15. Hi, not at all, it’s the inner filter that was brand new with less than 50 hours use. Only spotted it when I was servicing the chipper.
  16. Surely it’s not, but I’m no expert ?
  17. Hi, anyone had an issue with the Allen key head bolt that holds the retrieval clip on? Mine fell out completely today and was spotted by the groundy. It’s not seen much use as it’s pretty new. Made me worry about the 2 in the main body now, do I remove them and put some thread lock on?

    Easy access & hard standing tip off point, £20 for a transit tipper load of log or chip, can’t complain at that. Working out of our local area so this was a great find on Arbtalk ?
  19. Hi, serviced my chipper at 50 & 94 hours. It’s got to 100 hours today and started bleeping and SEr on the display. Is this a service warning and if so can I reset it myself or only at a dealership? shaun. @Jase hutch @PeteB
  20. Have @PeteB or @Jase hutch seen this happen before? cheers, Shaun.
  21. Yes outer filter is in place and no damage to that one.
  22. Just servicing the chipper at 94 Hours, was last done at 50 hours. However I’ve noticed the inner air filter has parts of the filter mesh missing, any ideas as to what would cause this and has all the crap gone into the engine? Genuine filter purchased from a Greenmech dealer.
