Anyone got a quadtrack 160

[Hodge]

Has anyone got a quadtrack 160? What's it like? I am looking at getting a new chipper and want to look at all options. Everyone raves about these being better that a TW150 VTR but are they? They look a lot wider so access could be an issue for me. I would like to have input from people who use them. Also I heard that they struggle to blow into a van if on the trailer?? Thanks for your input.

Been subbing for a new company the last 4weeks using one of these, in 7 years the best chipper ive used. Blows chip for miles and pulls in brash like theres no tomorrow. Having used the timberwolf, jensen, tp, vermeer, bear cat, id recommend the greenmech to anyone over anything else.

I like the look of them but its the width that would kill it for me. Thanks.

Why not look at the safetrak 1623 then, only a few cm wider than the 150, and a far far better machine. safetrak system is awesome too

I have been having a chat with Alistair from greenmech about getting a demo of one. I do like the forst T6 also.

have you tried one on demo yet?

 

get it done!

 

i did.

 

(still havent bought one yet though!)

 

i did try the forst also which was a better built machine for sure but better performance?? I'm not so sure.

 

more weight to drag about blah blah blah

I've also used a quad chip,

Blows the furthest ive ever seen!!

The rollers are vertical which is strange but they do. Munch it very well !!!

Been using the quad 160 for about 2 years now, find it a tidy machine but has had a few issues with it, plus the trailer that comes with it is a little bit flimsy, but the idea of it is good. I use it mostly on utility work so it gets about a lot. Has had better chippers and a lot worse ones too.
