photos of my week

Some random pics of the weeks work.

Not as interesting as some of the other pictures up this week but I was pleased enough to get my L200 back from the garage after an extended absense of a month!!

Kinda agree with you.

Thankfully it's not my chipper.

 

The one in the picture behind the truck is a 540, which i must say is prooving to be an awesome piece of kit, absolutley love it, seem to get on really well with it.

It handles most things we chuck at it, and has somehting like 2000hrs on the clock!

 

We also have another, a 528 (5th pic) which is the most useless piece of s**t i've ever had the mispleasure to use. Everything has to be cut up really small, and then it struggles to pull in clumps of gorse or blackthorn etc.

HATE IT!!

 

Yesterday the 528 jamed up and so I had to reverse the rollers to get a heap of blackthorn out of it and whilst doing so it ran a small branch right up under my visor and up my right nostril causing me the mother of all nose bleeds...Then the machine shorted out and fried the battery!

I struggled and fought everything through that bi*ch the whole day and my opinion of it is that it's pure evil. The 528 is satans chipper!!

What weight were you pulling with the trailer / chipper combo?.

 

I think it would be just over a ton and a half... something like that..maybe slightly more.

We have a huge jensen PTO chipper on a MOG that we use for night shift, it's an immense piece of kit - will take whole tree most of the time..

The only jensen I have come across that I don't like is the 528T.

 

They shred up mobile phones well.... I noticed...

My mate runs a 9" Jenson on a Unimog and its superb, compact, quick and reliable. I've heard people say bad things about towed Jensons, I've used an A528 before, it seem ok to me.
