Thanks for the response, what vehicle are you using? I'm fairly confident I can make it fit but I don't know anyone near by with a similar size grinder to try out for size I thought tie down points would be the best option, ill enquire with the chaps that did my tipper conversion

Its a little bit of a get area but I've got climbing with a saw and the IPAF ticket and I'm confident I've got all bases covered

Hi guys, I'm looking to purchase my first stump grinder and got my eyes on a FSI B22. The only thing that is holding me back from buying one is no knowing if it will on the back of my Hilux tipper with ramps. I don't currently have anywhere I can store a trailer, hence the question. My truck has the usual chip box and small lockable box for saws. Has anyone made their grinder fit?? And how do you secure it down?

My first chipper was a TW 125 when I was doing a combination of my own work and sub contract climbing. The 125 was a brilliant machine that coped with 95% of my work and was easy to maintain and move around driveways or sometimes to the bottom of people's gardens.The only time it struggled was on the larger jobs, especially conifer in the wet!!. I've recently upgraded to a TW230 due to going full time on my own and taking on bigger jobs

After a Google search phytopthora seems more likely, with heavily bleeding wounds. The bark was peeling off but didn't see the typical boot laces that you'd normally find with honey fungus. Thanks for getting back to me 👍🏼

Hi Guys, Unfortunately I had to fell this chunky walnut because half of it was dead. The backside was bleeding heavily and spongy. Anyone any idea if what killed it? I've attached a few pics

I've got a pair of these as well. Certainly cooler than my pfanners but only wear them on the really hot days because they're no where near as durable

Cheers guys, looks like it's me just being heavy handed/ stupid.. I'll try the reverse turn tip and see how I go

Anyone else have problems with the fuel caps cross threading?? My 550 has been doing it for a while and even after changing the cap it made no difference. I thought it may just be the thread inside being a little dodgy, but now my 3 month old T540 MK3 has started doing it!!! Is it something I'm doing wrong or is this a common problem

Thanks guys, I'll have another look at cable mechanism, if not I'll take it to the shop so they can plug it in

Hi Guys, I have a 550 that isn't running as it should. It starts, idles and cuts fine with plenty of power but occasionally revs up after cutting even when the trigger isn't pressed. The only thing I can compare is to is when a saw is about to run out of fuel and the revs increase. If the trigger is pressed the revs will then return to normal idle speed. Anyone got any ideas of what it could be? I thought the throttle cable may be getting stuck but I had a look and all seems fine

One more vote for Cardo. The freecom 4x have been brilliant

Thankyou for clearing that up for me. Great help 👍🏼

Hi Guys, Been to look at a job today to fell a large amount of ash trees in a forest school that I believe I'll need to get a felling License for. I know the trees are also in a conservation area. Will I have to get the normal permission from the council and then apply for the license?? Or does the license take the conservation area into consideration?
