New chipper arrived today

[Gray git]

Well after much deliberation and a few demos the decision was easy in the end and today it landed in the yard and was promptly attached to the Rd and off to a few jobs to test on a few different trees.

Apart from not being quite the rite shade of orange all I can say is its a reet beast of a machine!

Thanks to Craig at Redwood for promptly answering any questions I had and getting the deal sorted and the machine delivered.

Going to be grinning like a kid for quite a while watching it's awesome feeding force and capabilities on branchy twisty stuff.

:-D 👍

Be a shame to get it dirty!

Bloody hell john!!!

 

Haha, it's only money man 😁

 

Been all precious about it today wiping dust off it and cleaning a the hopper out at the end of each chipping session...

 

Won't last!

 

Going to see if the arbortrolly will fit in the hopper without scratching the crap out of it.

Those feed rollers look very aggressive! I bet it pulls it through well

That control panel looks expensive to fix when it goes wrong

Very aggressive feed capacity, they almost cut side branches off as they grab hold, tried all the speed settings and like the sticker says 4 - 5 is best for dragging stuff in.

The way they open in a slite ark forwards also helps them climb onto timber or over forks to then crush them, couldn't belive how well it delta with some big twisty pine branches today.

Thats a clever idea to have it pivot that way, my chipper is the opposite.. I recently had my feed roller edges sharpened and it made me realise how important having a decent edge on them is...

Those rollers look mega - almost like a branch logger on their own!

 

The first scratch will be the worst - I'm confident your arbortrolley will ruin your day first time out...
