I would not argue with that Quadchip all the way, saves a lot of trimming up with the big letterbox feed.

 

It all depends on Budget as quadchips are newish machines not a lot of 2nd hand machines about.

how much do they go for new

My local dealer sorted me out a really good finance deal on my quadchip, it costs me the same a month as hiring a TW150 for 3 days.

what about the small 6" vermeer has anyone used one before?

Not used one, but its only 26hp with a feed opening of 6.3"x7.9".

 

The GM has about the same size infeed and the turntable, but 34hp and still under 750kg.

Hey Damo,

 

Hows life treating you in Vienna, you keeping busy?

 

Have'nt used one myself mate, but heres a link to a review of a GM Quad Chip 150 at Horticulture Week. Cost in UK is about £14,850 'bout €18,222. Hope this helps.
