The Greenmech CS100 is a cracking machine, The GTS aint that good, having had a demo, I would rather breed some beavers and let them chew the brash!

Thanks for that. Glad someone will give us some info about those.

 

Think GMTpro may have been a politician in a previous life. I couldn't get a straight answer out of him. Not that I expected him to say the CS was better obviously.

 

Do you know if the GTS is similar style to the others, by that I mean is it also drum rather than flywheel type?

[Borders Training]

I think its a drum, I never opened it up, as I didnt like the chip or the speed of it. I know one dealer who bought one for a potential customer, and once the customer saw it working he backed out and the dealer is now stuck with it!

Holy Cow! "Beat that"? You bet!

 

£98 x 60 months = £5880.00 :scared1:

 

Sod finance, indeed you could have paid half that straight up and had an asset, capex advantages and wouldn't be left with a tired chipper after 5 years.

 

Back to economics classes for thee boy.

It works out cheaper than hiring, just!

i had a demo on the small greenmech back in the winter decided to see what everyone was banging on about, i had a holm oak to re pollard in a cemetary. thought this would be the perfect job for it, we dragged the machine between all the gravestones right under the tree, perfect. i was quite excited when i saw the size of the opening. it was a 50ft drag out to my road tow chipper up a steep bank and through a narrow path. my workers managed to use it for about 6 minutes before they started dragging brash back up the slope. i thought they just hadent got used to it, but i tried it and it was terrible had to cut it up soo much before it would go in and then it didnt have enough weight to fall into the blades. i checked the blades, they were sharp, a few chips, but sharp. tried it again a few days later on some fruit tree prunnings, i thought it was a waste of time. much more satisfying to drag it to a waiting premier than feeding twigs to a glorified flymo. Give me feed rollers any day!!
