The old turner machines are re badged Ganadinis. The Greenmech is it’s own animal and chippers international (Graham Satchwell) handle Ganandini in the UK.

 

I used to own a turner 90 and they are strong to the point of over engineering. The feed rollers are vertical where most others (except some early TP’s) are horizontal. The rollers are big so they climb and crush well

 

The Ganadinis are also peculiar in that they have a hydraulic cylinder “tensioning” the in feed roller, it’s quite a good system because it allows you to open the rollers before chucking some of the larger lumps in. The moveable roller has a reduction gearbox on it so it’s important to keep on top of the top bearing otherwise it trashes the gearbox. Maintenance 101 really.

 

On the down side you need to be certain that anyone servicing it understands the function of that valve.

 

The chipper presents the timber at an angle to the blade which requires less power than a square on feed. It does mean that you can occasionally get a leftover trapped behind the roller but removing it is childsplay.

 

I don’t know if chippers int. still do service parts but all the bearings are stock parts and I bought blades from Saturn.

 

Unless they have been retro fitted they definitely aren’t HSE compliant but bringing them up to spec isn’t overly difficult of expensive.

 

Would I buy another? Yes I would.
