There is a lot of people who appear to up for it - make sure you email in or come with your local dealer rep, otherwise there wont be enough space or food for you!

Good point Mark, obviously doesn't ring bark professionally or get enough practice! Maybe he hasn't been on a nationally recognised course?

Gravity chippers Reviews Titan, Jo Beau, GTM, GreenMech
PeteB replied to jimbowuk's topic in General chat
I'd go for the original and still the best! Get a GreenMech and join the Wee Chipper Club! -
Bob, could you drop it off near Tuxford on your way home? Split and stacked would be good too!
-
GreenMech every day! Did I already say that? .......
-
My view? Buy a GreenMech! Everytime....... But then, I'm a tad biased...

What was it in the end?

The chipper blades must be sharp! Shredder blades can be blunt and you can take them off the right and swap them for those on the left which don't do the same amount of work. I recently did some more training with a customer who had one new some five years ago. They do a lot of work and had to buy the 22 only last year! At that rate, they reckon it is earning it's keep okay.

Staffordshire Traction run those 6 wheeled things that the MOD use, Supacat! Top toy they are!
-
Send her to Stratford with your credit card! I understand the shopping is good! Hotel might have a few other beery tree blokes there and she'll get the hump!

I'll post a picture of them lined up with others in the same batch. They have a newer version of the Isuzu 4LE1 engine rated at 55hp.

IS, Ian, Is..... We still produce it, in fact, a load just got ordered by the Australian market! All in a radiant red colour.

History Lesson. Earlier machines had 3 rows of 3 while the Eco range had two rows of two. we then went to 2x3 on bigger machines with a deeper "cut". We did go to one row of two and even single banks! Current range; 220 = 2x3, 1928 = 2×2, Quad = 2×1, 150 = 2×2, Eco TMP = 1×2. We, on average, use some 500 blades per month and about half the original weight is lost in the process. Sign up for the forthcoming factory tour and see how we use 125kms of welding wire, 1100 soft pads, 25000kgs sheet steel, 45 litres hand cleaner etc per month on average!

I read that as "pork pie movement"! And that conjured up a vision....
-
I do think that opinions on an open forum are so passe` these days.......don't you?
-
A call to your Isuzu truck dealer would give you an idea of time and cost. Hope it works well for you.

There will be a press release closer to the date of change regarding changes in our dealership details and I will add no more than that. However, Dave at Arbtech will be staying faithful to GreenMech, and we are grateful for that as he and his staff are all round good eggs and thoroughly aminable people. Dave and the new people are in accord for a good working relationship in the future, and, rest assured will still be able to talk to his customers that he has built up a relatiobship with in the past.

I couldn't believe the trench it "rolled" out! Massive! Very lucky people to not get hit 3 times!
-
Funny that, I'm after a flat top bench for personal use. To work off of grey fergie prefered, self drive otherwise. Anyone got a basket case or suitable thing for sale? Just found out that one I used to use years ago and was self built by family was abandoned in a yard by someone who borrowed it and moved on....
-
That is a couple of us for parallel and tapered. The tyre has grips on the bead - makes me think of tyres that spin on rim when under load when they shouldn't. Don't know that I've seen a comparable rim, but that may be the clue.
-
The original GM pens where ace! Parker pen style refill and barrel made of Beech, positive action made as a keeper! If you were lucky enough to get one, you'd agree. Swag resources are limited, but I have given some stuff away when it has been available. A load went out after the raffle and I dished out two hats and two travel mugs whilst on site yesterday too!
-
Cannot think of anything tbh! Just going along nice.....
-
Orange Plant at Broomborough have a fleet of chippers available. Go to their website and use the "contact me".
-
Here is a better picture of the Union Jack QuadChip. Apparantly cost close to £300 and the contractor loves it!

Nice limerick! Try this..... There once was a girl from Coleorton, Who had one long leg and a short 'un, Together with that and a big fancy hat, She could fart like 750 Norton! well, that is the cleanish version....
