its a three lane road, which is perfect, just going to close the overtaking lane going uphill starting from where it turns into two lanes at a traffic island so no taper required on that side. Then taper my side downhill into the centre lane, which then tapers back in itself before the island. The road is an ideal layout really thanks for that Craig

the bandit holds the wood against the blades, but if they are sharp it takes a shaving off, if they arent then it heats up the blade edge and dulls very quickly, once it starts smoking, you may as well pack in. the 160's are a crappy small chipper I know, but rely on very sharp blades for their performance, even 10 hours use is far too much without a sharpen Like I say, I remove and touch up the bandit blades twice a week, if it,s been chipping all day, i do it that evening. Totally different machine otherwise

is that 1.5m Craig ?

Smoke out the shoot is deffo dull blades. I know they are not a serious chipper but for the occasional user. Even my Bandit performs crap with even slightly dulled blades, hence i sharpen them every 4 or 5 hours, totally different machine.

Smoke coming out of the shoot like that is a sign of badly dulled knives, but the smoke wasnt there on the first vid and the performance wasnt either
-
I can remember talking to you about it at the show but can't remember whether you said the blades were sharp or not, I take it that's with sharp blades ?

Has anyone put some good hours on one of these sub 750kg chippers yet. I would like to know the longevity of them, ie has the indeed hopper belled out, has the area round the anvils worn round, have they developed any wobbles rattles or clanks

How do you give feedback, I can't find how to do it. Or should I just let the kids do it for me

I personally have a diary of good landscapers, fencers and gardeners and have won extra work for putting my clients in touch with people who know their trade and do a very good job. I have never ever got someone in to do the job then stuck a bit on for myself. Its an uneccessary cost to the customer. I,ve found that this way works for me because the other trades always recommend me in return..
