Pros & cons greenmech blades

[simonm]

Is their any benefit to greenmech blades being round over standard flat blades? What are they like in the real world chipping & maintenance?

Ive had both in my quadchip & prefer the square.

I have found them to last longer then flat blades and very quick to change.

Cheap to buy and sharpen and you can turn a blade 3 times.

Only problem i have found is they make a small chip and the chipper seems to found it harder to throw the wood chip to the back of the truck compare to flat blades.

You can now also buy a grinder from Greenmech to sharpen the blades yourself.

Why do you prefer the flat ones?

The blades last longer, will take more damage and are quite in use, you get 3 turns as well.

They're ok, I have found that in high summer they can struggle with leylandii.

 

I'm not agin ´em, but by choice, I wouldn't choose them over standard blades.

If they are better than the rest why are all manufacturers not using them.
