Greenmech Safetrak ? 8? Tracked Woodchipper - £3,950.00 + VAT | eBay

 

Redwoods are selling this - it's a non runner so should be available super cheap I'd have thought (a lot less than advertised anyway)!

I do wonder at the mentality of some people who try to keep things running! Whoever looked after or used this was sure to become a candidate for the Darwin Awards. The safety or control bar is on upside down offering no protection and only minor control, even if they fitted the cable probably.

He wants a Safetrak fixer upper for no money - depending on his skills and how cheaply it could be bought for it may fit the bill. It's got tracks, legs, hydraulics, the correct safety features (incorrectly fitted) and a flywheel with knives (I assume) - could be a good starting point if approached correctly?

Will be lucky to find a Safetrak in budget otherwise IME (although I do know of a nice 1623 Safetrak about to be sold, but will stretch that budget a tad).
