depense on where you are in the midlands. in leicester we use a place called terratruck, this company may have others dotted around the midlands/country. with your other questions id call up a dealer for greenmech,timberwolf etc and see if they could do your blades and answer anyother questions. if not the tinternet is great for finding pdf's on equipment and other sources of information,.

 

give this a try as a starting place

Got a quote about a month ago from Rotatech for a set of replacement blades, i think it was about £125 but they don't do the torx bolts for them.

Hello,

From new I fitted a 'tiny tach'

Very easy to install and cost about £20...?

I'm up to 220hours now.

Blades, well, be very fussy about hygiene, no rakings ever! and wipe dirt off branches that fall butt first and you may get +30hours if lucky but I find changing them 20-25hours before the blades get dull and heat up which glues the torx in place!

I had terrible trouble getting them out so I use a blowtorch to loosen the resin/sap that glues them down and copper grease on the threads.

One other thing, sounds daft but always run the machine until it clears before turning it off as even the smallest twig can stop it from starting.

Also, don't feed too much dead lawson/thuyia in at once as this can really choke it by wrapping around the drum and is a bind to release.

Check the feed chute before starting always as comedians, children and staff tend to chuck empty tins of beer, balls and dead birds down the thing...

Got to say, its a great machine and G.M give great backup.
