If you've got the space and can afford it, it is always a good idea to keep a second machine.

Even with a new one bits fall off and break. Your old machine has earnt its place at the back of the workshop, owes you nothing and won't affect your PnL. Having a spare to bring out in case of a breakdown or part failure can save a lot of time and money.

Also, unless you go for exactly the same machine again, you may find each machine eats different types of brash better. Hedge clippings and ivy may feed into the older machine a little easier so you use that one for those jobs.

I can't agree with you there Paul.

There too much money sitting there collecting dust and depreciating.

You can always hire or borrow if your new machine has a breakdown.

Keeping some back up chainsaws is one thing, 3 or 4 grands worth of plant is another.

Your right there, Find a good dealer I had issues with my greenmech I bought second hand and the dealer loaned me a new safe trak for two weeks while mine was being fixed at no cost.
