Arbor Eater Attack 5

[PhilBeech]

As in the title, we have the opportunity of purchasing one for small domestic work. It is on tracks and would be ideal for climbing in and out of the tipping Ifor.

Hello Phil. How did this work out for you?

I am thinking of buying this same model, but not sure about maintenance/out time and performance.

Years ago I once bought an arboreater 140. It broke down 3 times in 15 hours. It was the worst piece of equipment I ever bought. Not sure what they are like nowadays though.

Had an an arbor eater 4 inch single infeed roller one was enough .

We had one it was horrid . Then we modified it to stop all the twigs coming out from the feed roller area . The fitter did something to the feed rollers which transformed the machine . Still it was slow but effective . The 13hp engine was mint

I had an ArborEater back in the early 90's, did the job and we wrecked it! Then rebuilt it and it was still going strong in the late 90's when Alan Mason got it and sold it on. I remember being impressed with the size of the bearings and the fact that they could be greased. Shear bar was a PITA to keep set back then, but the Dalrymple people are good people and Richard Court does their work so there is a comfort zone there.

PZ110 (attack 5) on tracks is a great little machine,very narrow for ease of access. The Honda petrol is better than the Yanmar diesel.
