Be interested to hear you elaborate on why.

 

I used a TW190 tracked today with some large silver burch and have used the Arb190 albeit the trailed version.

 

Found the stress kicks in earlier on the GM but the GM has a nice wide infeed which is better than the TW.

 

I've explained to Pete in more detail, birch is nice and easy to chip try ash/sycamore/beech and then you'll see, I've put some pics up on my profile take a look specially the picture of the bit of brash I couldn't chip.

It's a solid machine it just needs some more R&D.

 

This is just my opinion but I don't think side rollers give any advantage if anything you're at a disadvantage they're not working with gravity. I've honestly used just about every new greenmech and spent time using them 130/150/quad chip & tracked. I could never get on with the side roller machines the roller size just seemed to narrow. A jensen a530 and a timberwolf 150 would perform better.

 

Edit I'm not bashing greenmech I love the old 19/28 tow and the 19/28 safetrak and even the little 16/23, the newer ones seem more tame
