Greenmech Arborist 130

[kentjames]

For anyone who has had an arborist 130 for a while is it still going well?

 

Yup, ours had three hard days of work last week, rocked through it all no problem

Yep, been running mine for almost 2 years now and not had any problems. Might be upgrading to either a 150 or similar sized diesel chipper now due to volume of work.

Did you go for the round or square blades?

I have a demo coming up soon, look forward to trying it out.

[kentjames]

Round for ours, however experience has shown that it is near impossible to just turn the blades as greenmech say due to wood chips and dust collecting in the triangle behind the two blades on the fly wheel. It is similar to orbital strand board when you pick it out. It doesnt affect the machine or ability but turning the blades easily just wont happen. It is handy however to have 2 more surfaces per round blade to use before the blade needs changing out completely.

Mines nearly 3 years old now runs well and still chips well.

It all depends on volume of work, if you need it every day for 2-3 hrs get a 150 or quadchip.

Yer I think ours is great machine and chips well but on jobs where there is a few men on the ground feeding it they have to cue up as it can take a while to get bigger stuff through it, but that is to be expected to be fair to it. Looking to sell it in the near future.

Looks like a good machine on vids i've seen, who has the honda engine?

Everything's timberwolf out this way..don't like the uncovered engine on the 125. Most dealers are hardly jumping to bring out a demo for t.wolf.

Had the Honda engine one since about April last year. As others have said it's a great machine, obviously not as quick as the 150 but eats through brash pretty quick. Just be careful when changing the blades to put them back in the correct order otherwise you can chip the edge of the blades
