Hi treeman 123

 

So im the owner of a tw230vtr a very very good chipper but as my road tow and tracked chipper are booked out we have a 280 tracked machine on hire for a clearance we have just landed. I've been using the 280 for three days this week so far and what a machine it is.

Firstly sounds like an aeroplane warming up for take off when purring at full revs.

Secondly We have been feeding 9" trunks into it (obviously for research only) and it takes it no problem. Then tackles and crushes the brash. Depends on the type of timber but what a machine.

Problems so far is track system

Seems to squeak and squeal when using 2nd gear turning but easily remedied by changing to 1st gear.

Other than that constantly needing someone sat holding the stop bar open while feeding excessively large timber through the chipper, so far into the site clearance it gets two thumbs up👍👍

I demod one a couple of weeks ago, was ok but the amount of large bits of wood it chucks out the back is an issue, we ran it fir 10 mins on a job and the rollers stuck open with a chunk if wood stuck in the slider, I wouldn't want to use it on a road or foot path it was that bad.
