bought my first chipper

[Mark Bolam]

That's what I,m taking out of it also - so if I get stopped I,m blaming you and if you get stopped you can blame me.

 

We've got three different chippers now and I could still stand and watch them grab a big branch, drag it in and fire out a load of chip the other side all day. They truely are an amazing bit of kit.

 

You need to get a few pictures of her on your website now for those flying chip shots

 

About the shoot folding - there's a picture of one in this months Esential Arb or Forestry Journal of a company called Touching Wood - their chipper shoot looks like it has some sort of spring loading on it - could it be a hinging device? Good luck with the chipper:

 

Know exactly what you mean Gareth. One piece of machinery that does exactly what it says on the tin!

 

Congratulations on your purchase James, you won't regret it.

 

If your mate can hinge the funnel, get it done. A blocked funnel with no access is a proper PITA, and they can all get blocked. Slimey baby conny mixed with sorrel in the peeing rain can choke most decent chippers!

 

Kinked the flange at the bottom of the funnel on my TW125, ballache on and off now, need to sort it. TW funnels are much heavier now, lifted my old gaffers 150 spout last week when subbing for him and nearly launched it up in the air! What's all that about?

i was going to get a new tw125 but this vermeer came up cheap so jumped at it one of those purchases you just have to make and work out the finances and everything else afterwards ive been told by loads of people lol i no the feeling with the tw 125 blocking up with wet conny. will have to see how bad it is to get access to the vermeer before i start cutting and shutting it

Greaseable flywheel bearings

 

you need a trailer test to tow it though because its braked

 

That braked thing is causing some confusion, you don’t (depending on when you passed) need to do a trailer test because the trailer is braked, you need to do the trailer test IF the trailer exceeds 750kg MAM.

 

Any trailer that weighs more than 750kg must have brakes.
