And let's hope with that increase in use and understanding we can get that road fuel duty wiped off it to help those who can't see beyond the purchase price to convert.

13 days without a silky post, must be in love or something.

Don't mind helping these lads if they put in an equivalent effort but I ain't mothering them.

2 then a few as nd when needed and cross over with a few other companies when we pool equipment or labor on bigger jobs which seems to work very well at the moment. Just binned of an apprentice as it was hard work getting any work out of him, at 23 couldn't drive and showed no intention of starting and could generally piss everyone off very quickly so got rid before any permanent damage got done. Might have a girl/young woman coming for a week or so to see what she thinks of the industry and see if she can hack it before starting something part time at collage.

Answer to your question after a few days, significantly! So much less snedded and feeds in so well the lads are complaining that they don't get a rest while stuff is going in anymore 😀 Forst St8 arrives at Dryad Arbor-Artists:

Our local garage would have a fit if I turned up wanting 2000ltrs, they start to get a munk on if I fill 2 jerry cans these days!

Nope, I'm with you on that aswell.

Thank-you for putting that 1 to bed lads, I did go have a look at my paperwork from you and though it was funny about the engine warranty. Great sales team with easy communication from 1st enquiry to being delivered last week. Thanks John Lawrence
-
Yes very much so.

Liked that, deceptively large tree looking at how much came off it.

Meaning??

Now now boys I didn't start a thred for a my chipper is better than your chipper excrement slinging match they are completely different machines so can't be compared. People are always putting forst down for problems but what brand hasn't had them at some point just look at the tw150 if it was unwaveringly excellent why not just keep making it. It's called development some early forst had problems, they fixt them built better and improved so why everyone has to keep putting them down I don't know but two particular culprits get very upset if a bad word is said against the precious wolf

Gary, that's what I heard over and over again about the back up and service which I think played a good 50% of the business side of the choice made. And what ultimately put me off the ts brand as they didn't have the model I wanted in the UK and nor did they carry any parts so would have to be shipped from Germany.

Well omt if the Jenson sales guy hadn't shrugged his shoulder, turned his back and walked off at the arbshow when I was trying to enquiry about there machines he might have got another sale but with that attitude na.. Hadn't noticed any problems with it grabbing stuff, even just 1 hand sliding it in on sycamore oak and pine yesterday, ah well each to there own but at least you didn't get a gm190.
-
Yip, soon to read You can't chip quicker than a quadchip chipper........... Unless you sell it and get a forst 😜
-
Went for the st8 Johny as needed the extra speed and capacity it gives.
-
Very aggressive feed capacity, they almost cut side branches off as they grab hold, tried all the speed settings and like the sticker says 4 - 5 is best for dragging stuff in. The way they open in a slite ark forwards also helps them climb onto timber or over forks to then crush them, couldn't belive how well it delta with some big twisty pine branches today.
-
Haha, it's only money man 😁 Been all precious about it today wiping dust off it and cleaning a the hopper out at the end of each chipping session... Won't last! Going to see if the arbortrolly will fit in the hopper without scratching the crap out of it.
-
Well after much deliberation and a few demos the decision was easy in the end and today it landed in the yard and was promptly attached to the Rd and off to a few jobs to test on a few different trees. Apart from not being quite the rite shade of orange all I can say is its a reet beast of a machine! Thanks to Craig at Redwood for promptly answering any questions I had and getting the deal sorted and the machine delivered. Going to be grinning like a kid for quite a while watching it's awesome feeding force and capabilities on branchy twisty stuff. :-D 👍

I prefer a length of alcathene pipe personally as tends not to leave deep bruising ;-)
-
Nick your a star if you have such self control to stop mid flow so easily :-?
-
It's when they tell you they've had several people come an look at the job but no one has returned a price so still looking for someone to do it that I get really worried,
-
I'd just get a new 1 and keep that for spares which would save you a lot of time and hassle.

Lifted it up and reversed under then kinda shoved it the rest of the way, didn't do the trailer floor many favors that's for sure. Would love to have put it on the scales. Once it's carved into whatever he has in mind for it I'll call round his workshops and get some pictures of it.
