I had not heard of them either until I started looking for small tracked choppers, this one has hydraulic feed and can do up to 14cm width of wood.

Well it looks solid doesn't it!

Just had the price back from the supplier £15,600 plus £750 shipping. So that’s me out.

Ouch

That's a lot of machine to run with a 12hp engine.  Surely the extra weight of an 18hp lump would be worth it...

I think I'll stick with my Hyundai and quad bike combination! It chips better than those videos, and with the price difference between my setup and that I could pay for my defender, plant trailer and saws again!!

You could have a very decent second hand tracked TW/GM/Forst for that money.

 

who buys this crap?
