There’s a dealer in Hepworth off the A143 so not too far from either of us, I’m just wondering if they’re fairly robust or made of recycled tinfoil

Yes, I spoke to him some while back. Didn't gleen an awful lot.

 

They are reassuringly expensive, and European made (Spain I think).

 

If I remember correctly, I think you have to have a different spinning thing for chains and blades.

 

That's about all I know I'm afraid

80, 90 and 135,
I didn’t think it was too dear bout 4K, won’t bother with blades....we had a bush hog for 10yrs which was good heavy duty attachment but broke blades occasionally, manager replaced it with a stupidly long very cheap (1.6k) that was more to repair in its first seasons use than it cost (blades, clutch, gearbox and 3pl mounts)
We were going for a mulcher but estate owner and both feel certain users will obliterate ground flora by setting it too low

my old boss had a couple of wolsey jungle busters with chains would leave a rough finish but would go through any thing if tractor would push it over would of thought they are the same, remember in a wood one day hand cutting around young trees when a lump of cord wood fly through air and hit a older standing tree about 10ft up knocking a large lump of bark off.

Used a Wolsey years ago and was gutted when missed out on one last year for 300, hoping Ventura as we’ll built ( but bigger )
