With all chippers you get ballistic separation, the heavier chips fly the furthest and the light stuff drops first, you will notice this when chipping onto the ground with the deflector set high. Greenmechs tend to make a fairly fine chip. You could try and turn up the speed of the rollers to the maximum to get the chip size as big as possible. it might help... you could check the engine is making the revs it should as flywheel speed plays a big part.

Big tree Dave! I have seen that before but never with anything that big.

One framework that we are on has 4 companies on it, the other 3 are all bigger than us, one was kicked off the framework after they sent 2 guys to a storm damage job with a pole saw and no ppe! The other two have no cutters and just subby guys in. We are the only proper tree firm on the framework. Its down to down you fill out the forms, these big firms just tick yes on the PQQ in the knowledge that they can subby anything that they need in.. IME the small to medium firms do the best tree work and are the most efficient, the large ones usually have underpaid under qualified staff if they have any staff at all. Their tenders look great though as they have professional staff to complete them.

Great idea, it will free up a lot of Mick's time, i always ask for him if I need bits for a saw...

Vortex are great. But the Talons that I have were £400. They do some decent ones for less though

BCS ferrari and pasquali are all the same machine from the same factory in different colours. I have a BCS and had one before that too, they are good machines.

Buy a second hand 346,350,357 and send it to Spud....

I have found that NFU insurance is more expensive but they do pay out without fuss, plus you have a local office where you can go and speak to someone face to face...

Just wanted to thank Spud for the latest two saws he has done for me. A 357 and a 362, both are much improved, especially the 357 which I finally managed to get running on 3/8th chain. The 362 is a nice saw too, better than it ever was but not as mental as the 357. Plus he even chucked in a few freebies; a husky hat and some pens and sweets! Top man. Cheers Steve!

I wonder how many sad ***** write in.......

Love that one Stevie..

Its stringy oversize pieces that cause the biggest problems, they can block the augers. If he hasn't got a drying floor to dry the chip forget it it will be way too wet, otherwise it should be fine... I have a TR6 and a Heizohack with a g30 screen, there isn't that much difference in the chip sizes. You can send your chip off and have it graded if you like......

Don't do it. I had a refurbished Jensen, It looked great but was a bag of nails.. better buy an honest second hand machine, with a few hours on it...

They are like hens teeth second hand...

Long way from us.... How much are you looking for?

Welcome Benny, Website takes time to build ranking.. Try and add more content, the dies which rank the best often have the most relevant content..

Where are you? and what size trailer? We have various stuff available, arb waste or processor lengths....

Its pretty unobtrusive, which is what I want, its only 10" by 2" or so... I'll take a pic.

Its only £200 with the vat back Jon... so much stuff these days is a false economy, these are £50 a year for 4 years, its nothing really. Having said that, the day after I got them one of the guys put a tree through the door on the valtra, that was £330. I felt bad for buying them then....

This time last year I cleared a fallen tree off the road by crashing into it with the landy. It was un-intentional, it appeared out of the gloom of my headlights and I couldn't stop in time. Luckily the bull bar did its job and i got away with some minor dents in the bonnet and wings. I promised myself I'd get a set of spotlights, it has only taken me a year to get round to it. I ended up with this 10" light bar, not your ebay rubbish, but not crazy money either. IP69 rating unlike many of the cheap ones so you can jet wash it, good solid build too. Wilderness Lighting Duplex Hybrid Lights ? 10 inch More than happy with the results, you can clearly see 3x further..... Main beam..... With the LED's on...

Never drive through those sedges, always a sign of a wet hole... Both the tractors got out under their own steam BTW.

Here's a few, there have been others...

Actually Matty, looking at your link arms I'll be t it wouldn't cost much to make up a longer set, they are dead simple and most ag engineers will keep all the required ball joints on the shelf... Might be an alternative solution, you could keep the old arms for if you ever wanted to go back..
