Before & After

[treeman22tyger]

What it looks like now, and what it should look like!!

 

This is what happens when my dopey groundsman left my flip-line on the tarp that had conifer hedge clippings on it and then tipped the lot into our new Timberwolf 230 and chipped the lot!!!!

 

Suffice to say I made him pay for a new one and pay the cost of a new pair of blades as they had some serious chunks taken out of them!!!

 

£120 for the flip-line and just over £200 for the new blades.

 

Im just glad that there were no steel karabinas in there or the damage might have been worse.

 

Had the chipper checked over by Mark at Spectrum Plant Cannock and he just flipped the blades over and said the machine was fine...

 

Lucky for Jason!!! (my stupid groundie)

[Stubby]

Muppet !

[DanM]

I bet he does't make that mistake again! lol

[div_h]

I wouldn't do that

[treeman22tyger]

suffice to say I had to apologise to the client for making the air a little blue but I think he understood why I had to say gosh darn it a few times!!

[silky fox]

Unbelievable!

I had to call my wife at one piont to find out the torque setting for the blades, as Mark hadnt needed to change any up to that point, and she said "Why" so I told her that Jason will tell her when we get back....

 

Christ she was pissed of more than I was. I realised earlier in the day that there was no point staying pissed at him for too long cause what had happened, happened.

I think the punishment of loosing wages And telling my wife was enough for him to realise the error in his ways!

Something's have gone through my clippers and they've never needed new blades, these things happen compared to some of the other kit that can break or be lost etc a flip line a a good sharpen is t the end of the world.
