Rotatech chipper blades

[D Seaman]

Hello. Has anyone got experience of Rotatech blades? I found an old post together with 3 or four replies. Most said they had no problems but one post said that someone he knew had a blade shatter. Obviously there could have been a reason unrelated to the blades being defective and the reply was not from the person directly affected. It would be reassuring to hear from people that actually use them. They are a bit cheaper than the Timberwolf ones (we all like to save a bob or two) but naturally I don’t want to save money at the risk of having one or both shatter and end up causing a lot of damage and expense to my chipper. In case it matters I have a little TW125PH chipper. Any replies from Rotatech users will be much appreciated.

Been running rotatech on my Jensen for several years with no problems at all. Always properly clean the recess where they fit and tighten to the correct torque

Been using them in the Greenmech CS100 for a few years now and they’ve been great. In fact, I’ll need to buy some more soon and will get another set of Rotactech.

Have two sets for my farmi ch250 and have never had an issue, it's not used daily but on average about twice a week. Using rotatech blades about four years now, trouble free.

Never had any issues in TW150's with them in... must of had over 20+ sets over the years

We have them in farmi chipper used daily, never a problem. As someone already said, care is taken so the mating faces are clean and bolts properly tightened when fitting.

Used them for at least six years before I stopped two years back. Never had a problem. Bolts supplied aswell which weren't a problem either.

Every time I use them the have broken......I now only use genuine TW blades.

I've just checked Rotatech website, they're £177.60 for a pair of CS100 blades and currently out of stock.

 

We are a GreenMech dealer and the RRP on CS blades is £90 a blade, we have plenty in stock. For a couple of quid why wouldn't you go genuine? I always think if your chipper (any make / model) does shit itself and you've used genuine blades & hardware you've got half a case straight away of the manufacture listening to your story.

I’m a well above average penny pincher and I winced when I saw the thread topic. Besides tyres and brakes, I can’t think of anything worse to skimp on. Pay for OEM.
