Greenmech 19-28

[Arbtech Tree Services]

There's a 19-28 Safetrack in Cardiff, not sure of the year (2006?) with around 3000 hours ex hire fleet, but they want £14K +VAT for it

Worth a punt at the right money though - I've got one that I bought VERY second hand (unknown hours as it had a new clock). It had been well looked after in all fairness, but had done 5 years with a big railway contractor so must have done 1500 - 2000hrs plus I would guess. We've put another 1200hrs on it in 3 years and I am just pulling it apart for a big service at present. I have pulled the flywheel out today (for the first time in my ownership) and it all looks good inside the housing, which I am amazed by! How much do Balmers want for theirs (pm me if you prefer)?

Sorry - I missed your post - that is strong money!

They are over 30k new though - that needs to be considered I suppose. Essentially everything can be replaced/renewed, so even very second hand machines at the right money are worth a punt. The parts that don't bolt off are built extremely strong and should last forever in theory.

Had a pandrel go through one a few months ago so had to pull one apart then...... New blades and bit welding and grinding here and there and back up running now...

Dave Oliver might sell one of his, Arbtech at Witton Gilbert....

 

I had one which Mac and Jason fettled but the order came through yesterday!

 

They are in short supply and there is a waiting list now and someone is going to order a dozen soon so the wait is going to get even longer!

Thanks for all the advice lads, they sound like a great machine, im in northern Ireland and have a limited selection of used chippers to chose from and didn't know anybody who had used the 19-28.

 

There is two being sold here pete, both by M/Large trees. I Was chatting to alan in the parts department, Im sure you have dealt with him before, have bought a few parts off him before and have had no hassel.

Michael Large and his team are top people to deal with imo. Give them my best regards please.
