    Aspen

    Thanks for that, will give it another go then. Thought it was strange after reading other past posts on here raving about it. Is the tuning something I can do myself?

    Aspen

    Anyone had issues running on aspen after using 2 stroke in same saws? Had loads of starting issues with chainsaws, then newish hs82 hedge trimmers wouldn't start at all. Dropped them off at a well known Stihl repairer/dealer, he simply poured aspen out, put 2 stroke in and fired them up. Told me it's crap don't use it!!!
  3. I'd be more worried about someone tripping/falling onto rebar, ouch
  4. Crappy rope if needed & free climbing you'll be saying no need for training & tickets next
  5. Now that, is a fantastic idea. Certainly keep a lot of crud off chipper
  6. Sounds a cracking machine, what size timber/fork gets snagged, and is it the angle of the fork that is causing the issue? looking to purchase one in a couple of months but a little anxious now.
  7. They're stopping tree works completely I've been told by one of their commercial customers, sure they operate a building firm as well.
  8. They are very robust, if they are the same setup with the knives then a few nails aren't a problem. Not sure I'd make a habit of throwing pallets through it though . Should be a great machine with the chute
  9. Depends on where you use it, used the tracked version for a while a few years back, great in forest/woodland as chip drops on floor. If it's for domestic stuff it's a pain, you're either shovelling chip up or collecting in bulk bags underneath which is a lot of work. Unless they do one with a chute on now. The plus side it had knife type blades on a shaft that take a lot of abuse, rather than standard type blades that don't like dirt/grit. You could just touch them up with a grinder.
  10. Obviously I'll pay for them, did some voluntary work yesterday and had to go off-road with it on a trailer, hopper bouncing around sheared them both clean off and the one on chute has been damaged for a while. Sure the handles are polystyrene
  11. Best place to get the hopper & chute screw clamp handles/knobs for a cs100, need complete sets of bolts, plastic washer, bush and handle x 3
  12. Great vid, but at 2:17 would anyone else have made the cut lower down on the vertical piece? Just looked as though it could have swung behind where cut was made and rigging rope be trapped on lanyard/climber.
  13. I'd get some poison or traps down, only a matter of time before they gnaw through a belt or lectrics
  14. As above, Trust Insurance ?? Ive never had to make a claim from them, but they've been consistent and prompt when collecting my premium ?
  15. As in tractor/trailer or mog? Any more info appreciated
  16. Have a look on "The Wee Chipper Club" page. The cs100 are a great first chipper, easy to maintain and superb aftersale/maintenance advice from the Greenmech guys on here. Don't know how I ever managed without mine. Upgrading to a 150p this year but I'll be keeping the cs100 as it's great for the back garden work, as Maple says, talk the customer into wanting the chip
  17. What's the reason behind NOT using triple blade?
  18. You could be the first investor of the Boris bridge
  19. Depends on your circumstances already, if you were to invest in bigger/better machinery for a business would it earn more money or be sat doing nothing. Pay off a mortgage, invest in a property. Or just sit on it for a rainy day.
