  1. I’ll put that forward to them Monday when they look at it but I’m pretty sure they’ve checked all of that and replaced filters etc. maybe an electrical fault somewhere this is what it sounds like when it dies. IMG_1333.MOV
  2. Yes it is the Honda engine it’s about 5-6 years old I think. I maybe thought it could be possibly a faulty sensor like oil sensor or hydraulic fluid sensor I can’t say the blades are extremely sharp but will get them turned over to the sharper side tomorrow but I couldn’t imagine having a dull blade would cut out the engine. If I choke it after it’s cut out starts first time without fail. Won’t start again unless choked though
  3. Hello can anyone help me diagnose my chippers problem last week it started cutting out on me mid way through use so sent it straight to local machinery repair place gave it a full engine service etc sent it back said it was working fine. 5 minutes later it happened again only happens when stuff is being fed through the rollers it just cuts out. Used again today cut out 5 times in 5 minutes then worked perfectly fine for the next hour I don’t want to keep spending money taking it to my local place and it not being fixed. Has anyone had anything similar like this happen to them any help would be greatly appreciated
  4. I’ve used the grinder today and yesterday first time very impressed heavy but an absolute beast! Been using it on half throttle due to the power but will come in handy on some of the huge stumps! Also got a price for spraying etc was well over a £1000 by the time it was stripped blasted and sprayed. Was going to be to expensive so sand paper primer and spray original Greenmech colour under £100 labour spray etc bargain
  5. I’m guessing like all the Greenmech stickers etc I can get from a local Greenmech dealer? Safety ones also
  6. Think I’m going to go down the route of doing it myself to be honest just seems to pricey I don’t want a perfect job just appealing to the eye from a distance haha
  7. Okay got a price for the spraying etc of the machine think me and a mate between us are going to do it close to £1000 by the times it’s been stripped down
  8. I think it came from a hire company up north to then the chap I brought it from to now me
  9. Did you find out or was you joking haha. Also will it be hard to get small spare parts for it as some bits have been bodged on it like the choke
  10. Is there any way of finding out the year of my machine I can’t seem to find it anywhere on the machine.
  11. It’s had oil changes etc should hopefully be using it in two weeks on a large apple tree after we remove the tree I’ve always liked a machine which also looks tidy on the eye always reflects well on the business as many people always say about the van it came with a set of brand new teeth also just a shame it needs rubbing down priming and spraying stop the rust getting too bad should hopefully last many more years to come
  12. Nothing At the moment we only use 30-50 days a year just got fed up of hiring and this one came up for £2000 5 miles down the road just needs a good rub down then primed and sprayed should look like new hopefully
  13. Would It be easy to get spare parts for this machine?
