Tw125ph

Cracking machine. Been using on for the last 9 yrs or so.

even rolled one once and apart from a broken tow hitch it was fine.

I'm lining up an arborist 130. Had one on demo and was impressed. A few features that make it better than the 125 for me ie engine cover, disc blades etc. i'm only a small start up so wouldn't need anything bigger really.. A 6" would be good but second hand is such an unknown quantity....

I think the arb 130 is a 6" chipper isn't it?

6 in letter box feed.

Keep the blades sharp and they are fantastic machines.Maintenance is everything,even more so on small chippers.I had a new 125 for 5 years with no problems.I traded it in for a Greenmech 130 and although this is a great machine too I still miss the manoeuvrability and ease of access of my 125.

So having owned both which would you choose now if you had to buy again?

Probably the Greenmech for the greasable bearings and covered engine.The 125 is allegedly getting a facelift soon but Greenmech narrowly gets the vote.
