Greenmech Arborist 190.

Chipped with one on Friday, oak, willow and thorn. It had nothing on our tr6. Some good features and seemed decent build quality though.

In what way did it have nothing on your tr6?

Thanks.

Tr8 I could understand. We have an st6 but when we need to get volume though quickly we borrow a friends Gm with a 9-11" opening. Get some one to stand on top of the feed roller motor to allow some more crushing ability.

The tr6 pulls in better, quicker, blows chip further, and snaps crotches better, you can just feed and forget as long as you don't take the p!ss, whereas with the 190 you were constantly having to reverse, refeed and sned out. The 190 was a new machine with fresh blades. I've done over 200 hrs on the tr6 and would chose this over the 190 all day long. Yes Forst have had their issues, but they seemed to have sorted things now on ours, and their customer service is second d to none.

Used the greenmech again yesterday, it overheated and cut out after less than half an hour.

Ok but this doesn't mean it's a bad machine. Any machine can develop a problem for a variety of reasons.

But it does show that any brand of machine has problems.

Exactly!

Of course, but this is a new machine. I'm just giving my experience. I've been lucky enough to use alot of different chippers, and so far, my experiences of this chipper haven't been as good as others. I'm not badmouthing greenmech for the sake of it, but as an end user feeding the hopper, it is a slow and frustrating machine to use.

Our Quadchip will overheat and cut out during the summer when chipping conifer hedge material 'IF' you don't stop and remove the fluff that builds up on the radiator screens outer and inner.

Also, blow out regularly and pressure wash BOTH the radiators from time to time as matter slowly accumulates in the rads.

This is reason 19b in my list of why you should never rent/loan your kit out to ANYBODY!
