Someone was driven to sexual frenzy when I got home tonight stinking of 2 stroke oil after a day on the hedge cutters. Sadly it was the dog.

This is about my experience, I just switch to petrol for the blocking down. Conifer hedge reduction is a lot of cuts, then can flatten the batteries in a couple of hours.

Welcome to the forum. s426 haven't been made for a while, so it's an old machine that wasn't used much. Thing is it's a shredder not a chipper so good for mashing dirty hedge trimming but not very good at chipping, do a search for s426 on this forum and look back. If you're starting out I'd be looking at a wee chipper, less capital and less maintenance, and you've plenty else to spend on. Vehicle, insurance, kit.

@doobin is usually saying the other way round, I've not watched the vid to be fair

No.

Also check this thread, Jim got involved and explained how they changed over from importing Haeksler to Foxwood https://arbtalk.co.uk/forums/topic/132630-foxwood-c120pro-narrow-access-chipper-relieve/page/5/#comments

If you're interested in Foxwood talk to Jim at Upson Mowers as they import them. I've got a Chinese stump grinder which I use very occasionally, and a JoBeau European chipper which is about 15 years old and goes out every week. No way that Chinese stump grinder will be going in 15 years, had to weld up the exhaust and brake handle already. Horses for courses maybe.

My Makita drills have 13mm chuck so that would fit.

My brother owns a demountable camper shell for his L200, he bought it unfinished about 14 years ago, then had a child about 13 years ago and it's never got finished. If you're interested I'm sure he'd sell it, it stands my yard and I'd like to see it gone.

Yeah I've ended up scraping with the screwdriver end of a combi spanner before , would be nice if it was easier.

Looks rare, so probably collectable to the right person. @shavey might know more?

Maybe can't whack according to the book, but it's been done before so you need a plan to work with what you've got and keep customer happy. I think I'd be looking to remove the biggest sprouts back to the pollard points, what's left reduce a bit to try to create a shape out of them. This is what I'm suggesting to a magnolia I've just quoted, which has been pollarded in the past and put on a mass of 6 and 8 foot upright sprouts, totally ruined the form really. It's that, whack back to a hat rack, totally leave, or remove.

She is smiling as if she's been hard at it going up and down all morning.

I looked up the Harlequin style. Sorry, I take it all back. WTF.
-
Are you absolutely totally sure the boots aren't the same, and you're turning into a grumpy ol' bugger? This is what I fear is happening to me.

Superclean good on a Silky then? May have to try it.
-
I think there's one round here, he'll pick up loads of timber with it. Not enough volume for chip, they're designed more for soil or sand.
-
Yeah good point, need to check.
-
Yes you're not supposed to just knock up trailers nowadays like we used to. Stuart's in France though, bound to be even more paperwork but maybe people don't bother.

I've used white spirit before. The Stihl stuff looks like a proper can for £6 in the picture but actually it's only 50ml - not tried it at that price but am curious.

Seems to depend on the weight but these will be decent at £120+, just noticed Stubby called them indespension units, my dad has always called them that. Trick might be to find some that fit your wheels else you'd be in for wheels and tyres on top.

I read this yesterday and happened to be in the car on the way home when Sara Cox had some people phone in. Painful. Just painful.

How will you chip it? I guess if you get someone like Justin Kingwell in to chip they'll know the best way to move it on.

Turns out to be a 4 way tipper......
