    Serial numbers are all intact and the chap seems genuine so no alarm bells at the moment. He said the machine has been sat around for a few months without use (it did have a thin layer of dust when I first turned up) so has me thinking it's something fairly simple to fix

    Also the engine speed lever was slightly loose and when one big log went through the revs dropped and rollers stopped. I'm assuming this is just a stretched cable and can be tightened up/ replaced??

    Thanks guys, I did remove the panel to inspect the blades and flywheel ect so a good chance it could be the limit switch. I'll give the chap a few days to see if he comes back with anything first

    Hi guys, went to look at a chipper the other day. It's 2018, tidy body work, only 350ish hours and looked like it would be a good purchase. Took some 6" logs to give it a good run and seemed to chip fine (the battery was dead and had to jump it). Went to restart it to check running from hot and nothing when key is turned, but you can hear the fuel pump (?) Ticking away) I walked away from the sale and the chap said he would get someone to have a look at it and get back in touch when fixed. Is it a case of the battery being flat?? Or something else? When not attached to jump leads nothing would happen at all (no heater plug light, fuel pump ect) The chipper is really tidy and local to me so would be great if it wasn't a serious problem but I would have thought it would start all the time when attached to a jump pack???

    Looking at upgrading my chipper to the 230 but unsure which one to get. Is the diesel better than the petrol? Or both as good as each other?

    Tip the bed up slightly while chipping. That's what I do with no problems

    I did a one day course with mediarb before Christmas and it was brilliant, couldn't recommend it enough. If there's enough people wanting to do a course he'll come to your yard and run the course from there

    Willow was my first thought

    I've been really pleased with them since buying them last may. Hoping to get at least another 6 months out of them. They're fully waterproof and comfortable from the go.

    I'll get the parts ordered and report back when I've got myself in a right mess and no idea how to put it back together 😂

Ive never really stripped a saw down completely and re built it. Suppose there's a first for everything though....

    Thought that might be the case 😔. I bought it second hand nearly 8 years ago so I suppose I've got my money's worth. Probably time for a new 550xp 😏

    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?
  16. jameshs22
    Check the gaffs are sharp. I've known a few people who've had to sharpen them from new 😬
  17. jameshs22
    Anyone tried these out? New boot time and browsing on tree kit found them and never heard of them
  18. jameshs22
    Anyone else had a go with a pair of fitwells? Tempted to try out the Fitwell Chop boots that they sell on tree kit

    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!!!
  22. jameshs22
    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 🤣
  23. jameshs22
    Yeah definitely. The Ventilation are still very comfortable to climb in though
  24. 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
