Greenmech 19-28

[matthew ward]

Hi folks, my first time posting on here, great site.

 

I have been looking at a second hand greenmech 19-28 with 400hrs on it, 2006 modle. has anybody any experience with these chippers and advice on what to look for.

 

Thanks matthew.

I got loads of experience.....

 

get me the serial number and I'll let you know the build date and original destination. 400+ hours since 2006 sounds low tbh.

 

Good, strong solid machine - the tracked versions is the favoured machine for rail work. 50hp and the 11" wide opening adds up to a hell of a 7.5" machine!

Great machines! Check it hasn't got water in the hydraulic oil - there was an issue with the oil tank's breather location where water could drip through the breather into the tank. This can eventually ruin the hydraulic pump and/or motors. It shows up as milky hydraulic oil, but can settle out and not appear milky in the tank sight glass if the machine hasn't been used for a while.

Run the machine at full revs with the rollers turning for 5 mins or so and then turn it off and have a look at the oil inside the tank (take the top off the return fuel filter, pull the filter out and shine a torch into the tank). If the oil is milky then be nervous.

There is a fella in Warrington selling what appears to be a very tidy 2009 machine for £10k on eBay - LAND ROVER 110 TIPPER | eBay

Check the details with PeteB regarding serial numbers etc on anything second hand. I had one of these stolen a couple of years ago which hasn't turned up, and I'm sure I'm not the only one!

They are a great machine for their size - very brash hungry! If you buy it and end up having any issues Greenmech techncal support are extremely helpful.

I have one, I am really impressed with it, the wide opening allows it to really eat stuff, I'm looking for another one actually…..

 

Where is it?

Have a look at the pics (he is listing the chipper as part of his land rover ad). It is a road tow, not a safetrak (or I would have bought it myself!)

Balmers have got one - I don't know how much they want for it though.
