As you say, sounds impressive.

 

I reckon the second hand market in 35hp sub 750 chippers will stay strong as well!

Agreed. It will indeed.

I have noticed that both you and Forst are now extracting 26 hp out of the v1505, whereas in the old days it was putting out 31/35, I guess it’s about emissions.

 

I had an old 25hp arbor eater last century, compared to that one in the vid it was crap (though in fairness that’s a piece of goat willow) 

 

Going from 35 to 26 seems a big step backwards, surely peeps must want the older more powerful ones?

Not before time.

It’s a known fact that woodchippers are responsible for most global warming.

Probably.

You're kind of comparing a 7.5" 37hp chipper to a 6" 26hp chipper....
 
The Evo 165 is compliant with all the latest / forthcoming regulations. The 540 is 37hp? On any new models they will either need to be reduced to 26hp or have DPF etc adding an additional 3-4k on engine cost...?
 
 
 
 

True, anything less than 7.5” leaves me frustrated these days....

In fairness I was asked how it compared to the 540. It coped well with some dead maccy today, but wasn’t keen on some mistletoe laden apple later in the day...

Amusing fake factoid but not the reason for having pollution controls on diesel engines.

 

I doubt the particulate problem is significant outside of urban areas but that's where most arb work occurs

How easily can you tune the engines back up to 35Hp?

This is what I want to know too. Can’t be that difficult to get more power out surely?! Tweak the pump and off you go...

Not that difficult, and nothing to stop you removing all the dpf either, as I know someone who did just that.

What we are doing in this country with emissions will make no difference when China are building more coal fired power stations than ever. They along with usa seem exempt from such legislation
