Think the greenmech would be a far better bet.

i think the camon is more of a shredder and does not have a discharge shute it dumps the chips on the ground (i think)

 

i got a demo of one of the gtm chippers (gts900) at the apf and was very impressed and it was a lot cheaper than the greenmech

Hi Robert

 

Please let me know how you get on with the GTM as they have asked us to be agents for them. :001_smile:

Best avoided, simply won't be productive enough and will cost you a lot of time and heartache. As others have said, a GTM/GM/JB option is far far better.

What? be agents for them and risk losing the GreenMech deal? Hmmm:sneaky2:

WTF? Is that how it works? If I set up a shop I'd sell what I bloody well liked thanks very much. Bugger me.

Sometimes yes, a dealer can "multi-brand" but if there is too much conflict, then the one brand will say "Ours or theirs - make your choice"!

 

How many outfits do you know that sell TW and GM or any other combination of chipper for that matter.

 

If you owned a shop then politics will become a factor in your life. What you sell and where you sell it can dictate the terms that you buy in at, and what product range is available too you.

 

Some machinery dealers, John Deere, for example, make it very difficult for you to stock any other range of machinery because if you want to remain a John Deere dealer then your skin is green and you bleed yellow. Anything else just ain't gonna happen.

Hi, newbie here.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but it could be a warning to the unwary.

I hired a badly maintained camon c 150 and it gave me plenty of grief.

I exchanged it for a shiny newer version which was much better.

But, I have to say, it was still problematic to work with.

Unless the brash was in the exact configuration that the machine liked, then it would take ages for the cutters to accept it.

My old grandpappy used to say 'work like a fox,not like an ox', but I certainly 'oxed' it today.

It's good feature is that, disassembled, it does fit on the back of a low roof panel van.

But I would not regard it as a machine for a full time arborist.

I find it amazing how many 'hire' machines are a pile of shite! Poorly maintained and blades on some chippers must be blunt as....!!

 

Amazing that if there is a problem, it must be something you have done!?

 

I'd rather rent in a man and his personal machine - most of the time!
