Can I derail this thread further into track Barrow territory? I bought one from Agri Euro a few years ago, the top shelf version. It's been good, but I haven't put many hours on it. Took about two weeks to arrive. Had the tracks off during the spring lockdown as one of the bogie wheels had seized. Water had gotten in and caused rust. It was fairly easy to take the undercarriage apart and clean everything, Sand down the rust, grease up and reassemble.

 

Mine was delivered by a guy in an unmarked white van, not a courier. But it was expected. This is how we do business in rural Ireland:

 

Courier Guy: "Hello? Hi this is Pat with DHL, I've a pallet for you, can I give it to my friend cos he gas a smaller van and I'm in a lorry here and he's heading your way now so it'll be handier?"

 

Me: "Sure, no probs."

 

Van guy shows up with no ramps and a 250kg pallet. Luckily I have planks and straps lying around and we worked up a sweat getting it unloaded.

That is one advantage of the Grillo which has greaseable bogies.

Just a quick update to say barrow arrived first thing this morning about 8.15  on tail lift so obviously made my point with courier and they reacted so that's good.

 

Barrow itself I'm really pleased with so far, it's well made and went together fairly easily though you will need a few spanners and allen keys. Filled it with oil and fuel pulled engine over slowly about 4 times then she fired up first pull. Clutch and track brakes work just fine. Obviously it's not designed as a professional tool but for intermittent use it looks as if it will be fine. Cost me under a grand. Will keep my eyes on track idler lubrication etc so thanks for the heads up Hairy.

 

In fairness to AgriEuro their responses from Customer services can only be described as excellent, were responding well within 30 mins or so to emails and helpful in unlocking online access to Operating manual and spares list (paper copies are in the packaging). Spares list covers everything on the barrow which is great.

 

Shame they cocked despatch up but they have certainly responded positively since.

hi everyone. i am looking to purchase a chipper that would be required large amount of work every so often, not used everyday commercially. But i want it to be easily moved around the property.

 

I was looking for one that had a good capacity in terms of the maximum diameter, mainly as i would be under using it mostly and then have the capacity when needed HC15 or an HC15 Pro. Has anyone got one and can compare it to other models? is there anything else that you would recommend?

There is a Jansen on Arbtrader  that would certainly do the job.

We had the Agri-euro chippette (€1372 or £1200 inc. vat) out this morning for a Quercus rubra reduction. 

Chipping into some raised beds.

Certainly the narrow infeed means more snedding (déforché) but it has plenty of poke.
