    Chipper Build Thread

    I was looking for a new chipper, 8-10 inch capacity, on a turntable, 80-100hp. Not finding what I was looking for I decided to build my own, with the aid of Ed, who built a similar machine for himself.

    Peter's Chip Box Build

    Realised I haven't put any pics of this up, so here goes. Bought the truck 6 years ago, been using it for shifting timber, but the plan has always been to put a side tipping chip box on with removable sides to make it a dual purpose vehicle. Finally managed to source a donor body with the 3...

    Big tree to fall.

    I have an interesting job coming up, pics to come on Monday. Hybrid black poplar, 48"dbh, 45 degree lean on stem, all of the crown is on the side of the lean, so very heavy weighting. I would estimate the whole tree weighs 12-15 tonnes. Having felled one or two similar trees, I am expecting...

    Question for the Electrical Engineers!

    I have a hydraulic power pack to wire up to a 12v vehicle system. The motor is rated at 1.8kw, which at 12 volts needs a 150 amp supply? The power pack runs a tipper unit, so it will be run for 30 seconds at a time, and not too often. What cable size should I be using, the online calculators...

    I was listening to a radio programme about this yesterday, seems like a real possibility of a state owned Chinese firm building new high speed rail systems in California. The piece I heard on the radio was highlighting the fact that a lot of the manual labour on the original railroad...

    660 rebuild

    I have picked up this saw as a potential rebuild project. It came back from the saw shop with the exhaust off and a big estimate for repair. There is scoring on the exhaust side of the piston, but not on the intake side, as far as i can tell, and i think the inside of the cylinder head is clean...
