If your talking about Balmers there crap! I had issues with them as a dealer when I had a qc 5 yrs ago, I called 2 weeks ago to arrange a demo only to be told " we don't have one of them" nowt changes.

I just had one on hire today. Needed a tracked machine as we were on an island with only small bridge across.

 

Overall I liked it. The two speed tracking was useful for the longer runs. Felt stable with the tracks expanded. The chipping speed was comparable with the older models but I found the wider mouth to be useful for brashy stuff.
