Best Chipper

[High Scale]

The Greenmech that I used was a hire machine, we took it back because despite it's 9 inch feed you had to fight every branch into it, the noise it made was incredible, not the engine, which was faultless but the disc, maybe it was out of balance, it made the very air oscillate.

 

When my mate took it back early the maintenance guy said it worked fine for them as they test it out with pallet wood.

 

I forgot to mention Vermeer.

Some like us some, some don't. I personally see merit in some other chippers, but there are those that I would not give yard space to!!! I've tried many, pre and since I've been with GM and my previous comments stand. CHOICE IS PERSONAL. FACT IS STRAIGHT UP, FICTION IS FOR bULLsHINERS AND SMALL BOYS!

 

Bad day?

The only greenmech i'v used was a 70 hp 8" machine, which was ok but had a nasty habit of spitting skewers out at passing cars!

 

The most useful machine i'v used is a tracked, because it can drag things.

 

The jensens iv used have been good at chipping stuff, but a bit finickity, having persistant troubles with the current one.

 

The timberwolf is an ok chipper, struggles with wet soggy material and the infeed is too narrow to chip hedges, but it is very reliable.

 

Best chipper?

 

I'm still waiting for it!

My chipper man upgraded from a tracked 150 to this last month, couldn't believe the difference. No longer having to dress every fork or gnarl, it just grabbed and pulled it in!! Had him priced for the day and he was gone in 4 hours!!
