How quickly we forget:001_rolleyes: Its an even more apt comparison now, greenmech chippers have come on incredibly in the last 5 years.
-
Well all the ones I've had on long term hire (brand new 430's) and the 528's I've owned have been crap at taking in the material. Maybe I'm just spoiled by big american and swedish chippers, but I swear the TW190 was a FAR better machine than the Jensen. Jensen infeed is a rubbish fragile weak design. In my opinion....
-
PFFFT! I am LOLing at this:laugh1: Jensen are lovely chippers, beautifully finished, nicely fitted, look great. Just crap at actually chipping...
-
I dunno. even early skodas werent bad - used to keep winning rally's, thats for sure. Got to say though, VW certainly made them into a world beater. Nobody laughs at an exec driving an Octavia... Now if we could get VW to build a chipper...
-
The early ones were crap. Greenmech had a big quality drive and redesign a few years back, and the later machines were excellent.

Buy a little pellet mill, make your own wood pellets

Pics? Model? age?
-
Used or new? I think Stevei Blair has an old one he's selling, otherwise I find Andrew Holmes equipment the best value

Saturn machine knives are made of EXACTLY the same stuff as OEM knives, in EXACTLY the same manner.

Treehouse, not Treebuzz! And yes, it was Paul who prototyped and built a petrol version, the Ropetek Wraptor.

01758? thats a Pwllheli number, could be Kindlett.

hahahahahahahaha...

oh no we wont!

I thought they seemed cheap!

Thats just 3 point linkage winches mate, the cable pulls tight on the drum and can be a pain in the arse to pull out.
-
BTW, spruce at 20% is very dry for a disk chipper. You will need to change the knives daily, and possibly set up a sprinkler on the infeed. The dry timber can cause the disk to get very hot, cooking your bearings. You will also tend to get splintering of the timber when your chipping...

Green power band on your tacho - it will be different for different tractors.
-
To prove its splitting force, the dealer dropped a dead dry spruce log into the trough sideways. It just sheared the log straight through the knives.
-
Its because your running the pto too slow. There is no gearbox on the Junkkari, the Farmi is the same. You need to run the PTO at 1000 rpm, and you'll get lovely chips.

If its screened, I've heard it going for over £70.

One of the few reasons I'm going for the Tajfun. 10 tonne autospeed splitter, will push dry beech through an 8 way knife with ease.

Job Jobbed. Good work Dean, gets the Mr Ed fell it in one seal of approval.

CIS Registration - where do I stand?
Mr Ed replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Business Management
Yup. Thats why so many local authorities now require CIS registration for payment. -
Ahh, nice one. Hows the new processor?

CIS Registration - where do I stand?
Mr Ed replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Business Management
Well I put my invoice in, and a day later the accounts manager phoned me to say I needed a CIS. Now this will ruffle feathers, but if you do ANY kind of work for a client that spends more than a million per annum on construction, you fall under the regs. Tree felling, Arboriculture, agriculture, it makes no odds. Having got away without registering for years, I was at a slight loss, but I have to say, the W&S accounts manager was great. She explained the whole system to me, and what I could get away with claiming. And bang on 28 days later, a cheque dropped through the post.
