    The chainbrake on my 260 is not working anymore and doesn't bind tight on the clutch when engaged. When I stripped it down I noticed that some of the metal casing that a part of the mechanism sits in was sheared off. (Sorry a little difficult to explain). I've attached some pics. Would this be the cause of the faulty chain brake? I've changed the band and clutch and still slips.

    "Lime burns bright but it's pretty shite". Never burned it personally but that was what I was told

    Anyone found an easy and effective way of making the tool box on a 4x4 tipper waterproof?
  4. jameshs22
    Check the gaffs are sharp. I've known a few people who've had to sharpen them from new 😬

    Anyone tried these out? New boot time and browsing on tree kit found them and never heard of them

    Approx 5k +vat depending on spec (tool box, barn doors, ladder rack ect). Can probably get it cheaper if you shop around and willing to travel

    Got my hilux converted a year a go and love it. I use it as my every day vehicle as well so didn't want a transit ect. The chip capacity isn't huge but I just price accordingly for that extra tip run.

    I'm sure the customers wouldn't leave a shit in the toilet if the plumber was coming round. Why should we have to deal with the Dog shit!!!

    Wouldn't say there's a massive difference really, I think whatever you've got on when it's above 20 degrees is going to make you sweat. Haha yeah type c's is not what you want in the summer, or winter for that matter 🤣

    Yeah definitely. The Ventilation are still very comfortable to climb in though
  12. jameshs22
    I found the arborists more comfortable but didn't last anywhere near as long as the ventilation

    It gets though it no problem, a little slower than a bigger machine but that's to be expected. You soon learn what it's capable of and sned branches when needed. I've no regrets buying mine

    I bought one a couple of years ago for my first chipper and it's been brilliant. Obviously doesn't compare to the bigger models but keep the blades sharp and machine maintained and it will serve you well. I managed to wheel it to the bottom of a garden yesterday and chipped a big leylandii happily all day

    Can anyone help with my echo?? Brillaint sayw when working but recently mine has nearly been thrown out the tree on many occasions. Starts and runs fine from cold and the idle is spot on. The problem is when it warms up and then turned off. When I try to restart it has to be full choked and then half choked for it to start. I noticed the primer bulb doesn't have any fuel in so a few pumps is required. It also seems to be a little low on power. My saw knowledge is pretty basic but any ideas on what to try would be greatly appreciated.

    I've had many pairs of airstream and decided to give the rocks a go. Only been wearing them 2-3 months but first impressions very good. Feet don't seem to get as cold as in the originals and the grip seems to be better on slippy surfaces. The real test will be how long they last. I usually get 12-18 months out of the original airstreams before the sole has completely worn through and my toes coming out the bottom

    Hi Stubby, Any idea of where I can get these?
  18. jameshs22
    What have you guys done for rear suspension?? I know its been asked a thousand times but can't make up my mind!! Air bags seem the easier option and simple to fit?? Changing to heavy duty leaf springs can make the ride horrible when empty??
  19. jameshs22
    Change to the husky flip caps. Fit perfectly and easy to undo
  20. jameshs22
    The caps on the echo are soooooo annoying
  21. jameshs22
    I've been wearing the original airstream boots for years and time for a new pair. Is the extra money worth it for the rocks?? Or just stick to what I know? Usually get 12-18 months out of the airstreams
  22. jameshs22
    You have an email address for them? I'll see if I can get a quote

    Anyone had any dealings with a company called "Haven fabrication" I've inquired about prices to convert my hilux and seems reasonable and fairly local to me.

    Hi guys. Having the same issue with the starter springs. Put a new one in a few days ago and it's already broken. Is the only part I need to change to the older system the rope rotor like suggested? Or do I need to buy other parts? Many thanks James
