MR ED sorry to mention again what was that chipper like u designed thank mate

[Dean Lofthouse]

I've got the 65xp good chipper lots of good points.

 

Couple bad points

 

Doesn't like deadwood or brittle wood, jams the bottom roller.

 

Chip comes out of the shoot like a bullet and can travel up to 150 foot you will definately have to fabricate a 2ft shoot to keep it focussed into the back of the truck

 

other than that, good machine that will chip limby stuff with ease

nobody's in any danger whatsoever of getting in my bad books mate. Tbh I probably dont know a whole lot more than you, if at all. What bits of knowledge Im able to impart are generally, unless I say otherwise, just bits ive picked up from trying machines myself. To date Ive used lots of different chippers and found them all to have their inherent strengths and weaknesses. The first I used was a Jensen, a very nice machine but IMO quite a small infeed. I wasnt able to ever put stuff through quite as 'forked' as on some others and I disliked the indispension units when one peeled away in the middle of bradford leaving me stranded.

 

The only vermeer ive used was in a poor state of repair, you had to hold the roller switches in while you pulled the top bar to make it feed, the antistress seemed to want to push limbs back at me more than chip them, and the clutch made the belts scream like hell, so I dont feel that I can comment on vermeer properly.

 

Ive also used bearcat machines with a smaller company and bandit most recently. my money would go with bandit because I feel you get your moneys worth and then some. The schliesing looks a very good machine but ive never used one and I hear theyre more expensive (though no direct knowledge of whether this is true)

 

I dont personally think theres a particularly bad one in the list youve got above. I like simple, tough construction, ease of servicing, and competance at its work.

Hi Burrel, My chipper is awsome, 42hp aircooled, 8 x 12 inch infeed, 18 inch drum, super compact and a whopping 12 inch dia. infeed roller to crush material into the cavernous mouth - but I cant afford to put it into production (yet!)

I hear the new greenmechs are good but the old ones (going back 6-7 years) were diabolical to say the least.

 

252's will run for ever, explain your diabolical opinion

I'd say he was right, kind of...

 

6-7 yrs ago we were doing railway work and greenmech was who supplied us with chippers. I'm no greenmech expert but from the amount of change in the machinery as each month passed I'd hazard a guess that they were learning from our sector of the trade. The tracks were terrible for the environment we worked in, the ever changing angles and terrain caused them to pop off daily...the sensors were the main pita though...each machine must have had a greenmach engineer out once a week at least to swap some sensor or other over due to failure...Within a couple of years though the story was completely different, the tracks were unbreakable and they had fitted their hydraulic legs and the overall reliability was dramatically improved.

just my opinion of course, but we used alot of them over the years.
