Seems that Mr Yaxley Lennon or whatever his name is today, doesn't learn...reminds me of someone 🤔

I've not ruled that out as an option @roys thanks. How do you find the flail copes over undulating ground? How would it cope with maintaining a more formal lawn?
-
Absolutely, for reductions. Repollarding lime, or reducing conifer hedge though - just lots and lots of cuts under 1.5". No need for power but light saw that doesn't have a pull cord.

No matter what the facts you prefer to believe, the actual facts are that the huge majority of sexual abuse is from white males, usually those related or known to the victims. If you want to protect anyone from sexual abuse you need to look at where the vast majority of the abuse is happening, and not put your finger over a single hole in a colander and expect to stop the majority of water coming through it.

That’s what I thought. No rain since I did it before the last two weeks.

In that case you're back to the general rule of climbing gear - if in doubt bin it. It's not worth risking yourself to save a few quid.

Just try one they are not cheap but a lot of steel fixers use them no pilot holes and drill straight through 20mm thick steel you need high powered impact 1/2 or 3/4 drive and plenty of cutting grease it’s a easy tool to use especially up in a cheery picker I’d link a video but haven’t a clue how to

If it's really light pruning, Makita 18v could be an option, it's certainly weight saving. Personally, I find my 36V Makita light enough for me. Can't fault the logic. Might prefer convenience over physical effort myself, but I'm just lazy.

I've had alot of mates run entecs , timberwolfs ,gravely ,tp lindana ,jensen, pezzolato, greenmech , kwickchip .. alot of the tw machines have alloy fans to eject the chip.. The are alot of decent refurbished machines for under that budget ..its knowing what your looking for ...would nt buy tw probably not nor would I buy green mech. I'd only buy European, better built like ts,lindana ...the pezzolato I have is alot better built than the current machines . And like it or not where I didnt come into the career later on in life ive seen machines come and go , all you want is a basic machine that's lightweight,that also you can unjam should it get jammed up...and basic so easy worked on. Only reason the isn't more European machines is due to a price ..id need to look at what ever I purchase next ..ie spares But alot of machines are built down to a price now.....

And you may well have been right. 😉 I'm coping. It may have helped that I came to it from a Makita battery saw, which instilled a Pavlovian reaction every time I picked it up, ie press the button to wake it up. My son is unimpressed with the system too. There was a cunning plan behind the MSA300 purchase, and if a couple of ducks had been in the right row a while back I'd have had a short hedgetrimmer on the AP system now, instead of petrol. The next step in the cunning plan was the KMA200 Kombi, and the switching on that is excellent. The machine itself is marvellous, love it to bits.

My first chipper was a TW 125 when I was doing a combination of my own work and sub contract climbing. The 125 was a brilliant machine that coped with 95% of my work and was easy to maintain and move around driveways or sometimes to the bottom of people's gardens.The only time it struggled was on the larger jobs, especially conifer in the wet!!. I've recently upgraded to a TW230 due to going full time on my own and taking on bigger jobs

Yup, it feels like on the tri act that it's binding on something inside, as it can't be pushed beyond the point on the image. I have emailed petzl so we will see how they go. Will have to go back to Ali crab on climbline, which is a bugger as I like the steels extra weight beeing easier to throw accurate

Hindsight is a wonderful thing 🙂

I wouldn't. I've always been underwhelmed with infeed and throughput. The vertical roller ones are particularly shit.
-
I live in Norway mate,most people's gardens are pretty wild on the west coast. Plus the cost of dumping chip is pretty high
-
Have you given it a little spray though? I find that absolutely squeaky clean doesn't work well, makes the motion sticky.

I'd buy a GreenMech!
