In our Mk1. Quadchip, I tried round 2 blades. On conifer hedges the result was a horrible stringy shred rather than a nice square regular chip.

Could also be worn anvils though.

Square blades worked far better on our machine.

The two 190s we had and the current 200 all have 4 round blades and make lovely chip.

You have an arborist 200 or arbtrak?

Our Quadchip has 997hours and is on it's 5th outer bearing change but now needs a new flywheel as the axle has been worn by braying the bearings off.

Inner bearing we changed once as a precaution but it could have gone on for another 500hours in reality.

Wish I'd sold it at 950hours...

Why so many bearings?
