its a bargain, 8" chipper 4k

Perhaps Arbtalk could do a review of this item and give a thorough test of its credentials?

The seller would then have some point of sale material to bolster his campaign and british public get another bargain, hey Rodney?

[treebloke]

I wonder if they have actually sold one yet. You would think Greenmech would buy one and then take it apart to pinch all their innovative ideas

Ho, ho, ho...

 

I've advised similar people that their machines do not comply with relevant machinery directives and got short shift for my trouble!

found the instructional vid on youtube from the Runshine Machinery Co from China. Laughable! Shocking that someone would want to sell such an item to! That loop handle over the top is connected to the infeed roller! pull down and the roller is lifted up! I do hope no one gets burnt!

I have read that the designer is called 'So Wong'...

Any-one used this joke before or can I patent it...?

i had a look at this chipper at the lamma show, and what can i say, it has to be one of the most poorly made, cheaply put together and dangerous new machine iv had the misfortune to see on the market! the best bit was when i looked in the infeed hopper at the knife to find it was missing a large chunk on one corner and the entire blade had a 1mm wide crack from corner to corner,this on a machine which i didnt think had even been run, which sort of summed it up!! dont be tempted, spend your 4k on a used main line machine!

i spotted the dodgy knifes too. He tried to sell it to me on the proviso that it "hires out at £150 to£200 a day." And chips 8" also could or would not tell me who manufactured the engine only that its chinese and much better than a perkins engine.

The engine is a lambardini clone and is proberly the best part of the whole machine lol

In the vid, the engine is Yanmar. Although it sounded like something else, long stroke, high compression maybe and two pot. Smooth as a bear's behind!!!!
