i was in a barge pole shop the other day and they had a safe track in the back store with a big sign saying 'DO NOT TOUCH'

had a demo with 1, was impressive moving around, and really took in bushy heads very well.

I've just bought one, with a view to doing more clearance work rather than domestic stuff. We've a contract starting shortly which is mostly all cut and chip so I'm hoping i've opted for the right machine.

 

We did chuck some lime and a bit of scots pine through it the other day, seemed to chip quite nicely..

 

I was more impressed with the sheer ground clearance the thing has when you fully extend the tracks!

The 1928 is an excellent chipper, although I have only used a trailed version, so I cant comment on the safe track system.
