you guys are convincing me to double the budget and take the plunge with my first decent petrol chainsaw!

how do these saws fair with the new ethanol rich petrol?

Use aspen or Esso premium 99 as it has no ethanol,

Was quite enjoying dealing with the carnage. Went to get the JCB to move some logs and checked the oil. Was low so added some then as I was getting down, slipped, tripped and tried to reshape one of the other buckets on the floor with my head, it won...

So still have a blocked drive, job list building up and a soft cast for the next 4 weeks.

get well soon dont do too much with that cast!

Tut, Tut,,,,three points of contact at all times, your head isn't acceptable or shouldn't be included......

Get well soon and take it easy.....

Rather moronically I was at ground level stepping out of the loader bucket.

I knew I'd be strung up if I didn't get pink when that was an option.

Head is only painful when I poke it, wrist is getting better by the hour. Head is black and blue rather than pink though.

You'd better not aggravate the wrist with the buzz saws for a few days at least... :thumbup:

Calling 2011 old? :vsad:

110 needs its MOT but I've had to delay that as it's powering the cherry picker so my neighbour can fix my roof tomorrow.

110 powering a cherry picker isn't the picker self powered????

Right this will be fun typing in my current state...

Second lockdown I bought a cherry picker that used to be mounted on a 130. @8ob kindly checked it out for me and the following day I was trailering it back home. As it had already been removed from the 130 Bob couldn't check the hydraulics for leaks but he said it was in very good condition overall. So first task was to test hydraulics to see if any repairs were needed.

Immediate thought plumb into the aux circuit on my 2CX so nipped down to local parts place and grabbed some new (not made of rust) fittings, came back, flicked switch didn't work. Chased pipework and looks like the JCB has been built around that particular spool valve :mad:

. So think loader third function (purely for testing) then realise all I'm going to do is empty JCB hydraulics into cherry picker as it's pressure in / pressure out rather than the two hoses for the picker which were tank supply and pressure out.

As it's meant to go on the 6x6 (I don't have a 130) I thought use the pump someone kindly gave me except the linkage was seized. :doh:

So since the picker came with an LT230 pump and I had the 110 I bolted it to that for testing. Then I found a way I could move the picker with some pallet fork extensions (RHS steel I had lying around).

So cue 18 months later and as I haven't managed to find the time to finish the engine swap on the 6x6 and the setup I have works it's just carried on... Move picker with JCB, dump a few tonnes of sand on-top of it, plug in Defender and away I go...

One day it'll be mounted on twist locks to facilitate easy moving by the 6x6.

That sounds sketchy to say the least, being as I'm service engineer for MEWPs

, what is the Cherry Picker make and model (serial plate by PM)?

Dont forget to blow all the sawdust/crud out of it on a regular basis, especially in and around the chain brake mechanism . :thumbup:
