favourite 6" road tow chipper out of greenmech, timberwolf and jensen

[Mozza]

but, can you make a profit on a budget? buy used instead of new?

 

If your good enough and want it enough, you'll make profit!!

[skyhuck]

buy used instead of new?

 

New gives you peace of mind, a warranty with good after sales service is a REAL selling point, IMO.

we demoed greenmech against a tw250

and 250 won hands down and cheaper

[john@arbtech]

I never said T/W were crap, just made to a budget

 

You say that, but then you admit you wouldnt change you pto prem!!

 

They are popular the same as ford fiestas, council houses and primark, CHEAP!!

we use 3.5 and 7.5 tonne, longer distance jobs, take 7.5, but its more about ease of job, 6"x6" rollers take loads of dressing out, esp blackthorn/hawthorn, try 6"x8 or 9" rollers see how much easier (=less strain/more profit) it is??

 

Yes, but once the truck is full, its full. So an extra half hour snedding don't really matter.

 

Whats the point of getting the job done half an hour earlier if your full anyway and can't do another job?

[john@arbtech]

It does matter, big time when you have 5 crews to find work for! once one has finished off to help another etc!, you going to buy a less productive machine, so your lads can sit in the van longer, because you have no work for them?........ you heard of alex shigo?? work smarter not harder??????????

How many firms have 5 crews?

 

MOST tree firms are one man bands.

Everyone I know who has a TW loves them, I have only used the 190 tracked and think its a great machine, used a 10 year old greenmech (when it was brand new) and was the worst machine I have ever used. Never tried a jensen.
