Greenmech quad chip 160 pros/cons

[SEAN TYNAN]

great machine, until you have to do an engine oil change, very awkward job to do

On dear, thought it was just my tracked Timberwolf that was a poor design for draining the oil:)

[SEAN TYNAN]

you need 2 tubs to catch the oil as there is a crossmember directly underneath drain plug

Issues with the liberal spreading of wood chip now solved. No need to modify the truck as suggested??

 

Total cost of the modification was £7 for 1 meter of 6" bathroom extractor fan pipe and it works perfectly.

How come we don't have the same issues...

Are you just perhaps a little bit fussy about 'dust'...'dust' any-one 'dust'?...hhh!

Come on, where are the others who shout the same story here?

Likewise; not a piece of stray chip out the box

Sorry I have a bit of the same problem as need to make the lid on the chip box bigger as was made for the old quickchip which had a hard time getting chip as far as the box never mind over it, we end up with odd big lumps winging over the top and down the road and a pile of dusty stuff at the back.

Kev when your mod has chip flowing down it will it not pull it down with the added weight esp wet greenary?

[Andrew Barrett]

I've used / demo'd two different Quadchips (both a couple of years old) on three different occasions and I had the same problem each time with the chip not reaching the back of the chip box with any thicker/green stuff (cypress, etc). The back part of the truck filled up when the front was half empty, then it all started pouring out onto the ground. And no, I don't mean a little bit of chip/dust on the floor.

I did not like the height of the hopper was just to low for me.

[Kev Stephenson]

With my Quadchip the chip comes out at a great rate of knots, even the conifer greenery that causes many chippers issues, definately not loading the back first.

 

Gray Git, There is no real weight of chip in the tube at any time, it just directs the chip into the back of the truck and stops those stray bits going over the top rather than carry it. It seemed to be the top of the tube that had marks on it from the chip flying through so definately no issues with the tube pushing the chute down.
