Maybe im not as decided as i thought on my chipper Does anyone know the difference between them, im curious to know why a mark 2 was brought out so quick as the machine ive found is a mark 1, was there a problem?

Only difference I think is the mk2 has 4 disc blades rather than the original 2.

Why was the first one not called duo cut then?

Would be good to get an official word on it, find out exactly what they improved

Message PeteB on here, he told me the differences not long ago (there aren't many) but 4 blades vs 2 is the main one I think. The quadchip is so called because of the 4 sided blades I think

The main differences being a change in the flywheel from two to four blades and easier blade access. We are generally going away from the duo or square bade as disc blades are so much easier to care for, will accept more abuse and are cheaper too! It isn't a quick change either as the QuadChip has been around for several years now and is a top performer!
