the all aussie dribble thread!

[derwoodii]

Well, that 9" chipper i rented stopped today...we were working it flat out all day and at 1.30 today the feed in rollers lost power on the feed in direction....still had plenty of go in reverse but none feeding in......another chipper ordered for tomorrow morning first thing.

its soft pommy gear today's heat got to it,, could be many many things so send it back oh look for gunk jammed in the feel controller rig may stop you getting full in - forward setting just thinking as had same before it had me head ****ed for ages till the hey look at that moment

 

[derwoodii]

my second sense helped tonite re priming some 223 cases i stopped as that feeling in the head said stop i took case out well look at that the old primmer is still the pocket,,, dumb but lucky me.

that'll be melaleuca styphelioides yup hate em yuk try handling it weeks old dry piles no fun

Thats them.

Also doesnt help falling them onto muddy dam banks.....but better than through the building on the other side. The old growth down in the stump is surprisingly hard too.

Did all the basic checks on it...its either the drive pump (aparantly they have a hyd pump for each direction), the hyd valve or possibly the linkages but couldnt see a problem with them.

Its a bit like it but the ends of the leaves are spikey and hard and the bark is white.....it also grows larger and much thicker so if you have to climb them you cant get into them unless you're happy working over head....lol..or rope over climb and cut your way in and down...

The only good thing about them is they smell good when youre cutting th3m.

The paper barks and other Melaleucas are generally as hard, or harder than Eucs to stump grind so you're chipping quite hard timber chippy.

Re blunting chains felling, I cut off any surplus wood on stumps regularly, the multi stemmed trunks will gather leaf and any other junk that falls into them and gets trapped in there, it becomes soil like after 20 or so years and we know what that does to your chain.

Some chipping contractors are very reluctant to process foliage thats been in contact with mud/dragged along a gravelled track etc, dulls theblades in no time so they tell me.

Hang in mate, you'll get it done

Having smoko now....machine started and i j7st stuffed around with the bar and now ots all good...

Hoping to be dpne by today.

Its hard but not as heavy as the wet eucs like box or stringy. ..at least doesnt seem to be...but that happens sometimes also when you have superher
o powers

Tails shapes look different on same-letter "A" bars, if the catalogue is accurate.

Only thing is there is a difference between a095 and k095. Oregon have different profiles for each

Cut lots of tea tree down across the mornington peninsula. I only ever used it outside in my fire pit....smells nice but it smokes a bit too.

Finally finished the dam job yesterday...8t excavator took care of all the stumps in no time.....if it werent on the side of a dam i probably would have got a 20tonner to handle the stumps.

how did ya go with the chipper

 

[chippy]

how did ya go with the chipper

The problem with it was when you get low on fuel it aerates sucking a bit of air into the fuel lines...the revs drop marginally but enough for the computer to think there is an engine problem and so it then cuts the input feed....simple f8x was to just put more fuel in it...

Took me long enough to work that out. The mechan8c couldnt work it out.

Apart from that it was good but a little undersized for the job.

Only thing is there is a difference between a095 and k095. Oregon have different profiles for each

So the GB catalogue shows the k095? And if it showed the A095 it would have the same shape as the A074? Compounding my confusion on GB bars is I just got an order delivered from LCS for 16" 3/8LP bars that has two different bars codes for the same bars (ever so slightly different oil holes in) but more crucially three different nose codes.


Add to that I also just received a replacement rim from a NZ vendor who, when I ordered 3/8LP, sent me .325, and the replacement they sent is 3/8.

Confusing and messy.
