Is it pony? it ran ok when I tried it though rollers did not pull in well to be honest, heard about bearings and dodgy paintwork too...

 

please elaborate on your experience with it...

My cousin had one, flywheel went wrong so that had to supply a new machine, even when it was working I used it and found bolts on the floor and the chip always needed shovelling forwards and doesn't throw far enough. Can't speak about the paint as he got rid as soon as he could

[Dillinger86]

That's why i'm wondering if i'm better off with an old machine that hasn't compromised on quality for the sake of weight.... Schliesing are the rolls royce apparently...

If your not worried about weight get a bandit plenty of throw and chews through conifer

I just bought a 190 and I have a 150 there is no comparison I'll be buying a second 190 and get rid of the 150

I've had the 150 and bought a 190 as well. Like chalk and cheese in terms of chipping speed and crunchability.

 

I recently traded in the 150 for a 230. The 230 is almost on a par with the 190, and the guys prefer taking out the 230 as it feeds better with the letter box opening. Also crunches up forks well.

The gm 150 isn't great but the quadchip is a different machine completely. I was wary about greenmech and had a demo of the new TW230. The quadchip is on par with it in terms of what it will eat through. It's maybe not quite as fast on the rollers but what you lose in time you can gain with the turn table on the right job.

Tried the arborist 150 that was just like a t.wolf 150... Forst st6 is pretty good! Used a 10 year old jensen and that was still going strong at a firm I used to work for....

Jensen here but top roller can get stuck up with crud under the right hand roller spigot .
