If I had to go back sub 750 I'd not hesitate to get another quadchip, punches well above expectations but like Ian says you'd not want a high hour 2nd hand 1 for continuous use, quite liked the arborist 150 as well. The little vermeer felt like it was going to fall apart and felt cheep compared to its competitors. The tp and schlising on paper look a little lacking in hp but never seen 1 work so don't know and never heard of anyone actually getting a raptor which looks a copy of the quadchip.
-
The light onto the feed is a good addition and frequently wish we had that on emergency works. Black 150 looks really smart!
-
Only stuff I NEED you understand 😉

Spoke to gustharts today and said fetch both in and they will replace even though the zillion didn't come from them 👍 Unfortunately that means I'm going to HAVE (if the wife asks) to go see them sat morning to hand it over which normally ends up costing a small fortune in other shiny stuff 🙌
-
Your problem could be parts if can't find much about them. Looks like It'll be a really good machine if built quality is decent as visibility forwards and backwards looks excellent with the engine under you

Think that's possibly the most important part Mr fowler, lead from the front, as the boss/owner of my company if we have a really shitty job come in I make sure I'm not accidentally off pricing that day but in on it and often doing the bad bit like being up to my nuts in a freezing river setting winch lines on tree wedged against a bridge or like you say up the ivy covered monster that way I know if I ask the lads to do it they know I can and will if they can't and often I find them saying don't worry I'll do this 1 you did the last as mutual respect develops. 1 thing that hasn't been said is standing up for your crew be it to the boss client or just some loud mouth jerk on the street, but do it professionaly and politely.

If you own a treemotion , please check this info

Good to know, will forward on to a few uses not on here, thanks -
Think he means become ineffective at holding the rope and therefore causing the climber to fall uncontrolled. I'm sure someone tried that and the spliced eye of the rope still failed first before the cracked link of the zz did.
-
Do I need to take them back to place of purchase, zigzag came from gustharts so not a problem but the zillion came from honeys at last arb show so will it have to go back to them or can gustharts exchange it as well?
-
Will that include the chippers as well or just the firewood products
-
Mine went today in two places, OK at start of clime and while I was having an idle moment at the top just happened to notice 1 then the other, wounder if the cold can affect it as my zillion also cracked today and I bet the temp never got above freezing all day with us.
-
That looks perfect and that's what I meant by holding the timber lengthways.
-
Almost but probably a bit stronger so it can be used on the 5 and 8 ton machines and help lift the track to turn and help over stumps.
-
Just worked on another site which were all that style of tag dug into the bark and applied on recommendation by the consultant on his last inspection as apparently better than nailing to the tree and definitely better for the chipper if you miss 1! Definitely cheaper to use the nails as a normal hammer will do.
-
I've been asked to re-tag about 150 trees as part of a job working of a report as kids have snapped off the old disk type tags making identify a little harder than it should be, they want to go for plastic type tags this time so just asking if I need to get the purpose made hammer for them or any other alternatives are advised, looked at what treekit and landmark trading have available but very different prices, advice appreciated.
-
It's a 7.5 tonner so probably no worse than a normal transit payload 😜
-
Might not be too bad if you had a decent Street tree statutory clearance contract or clearing Street lights

Pressure assist Is a ram on the side of the top feed rolers that pulls it down to increase the pressure and grip on the brash, can also be used to lift the top feed to help get stuff in in the first place. If you haven't got it you can sometimes put the grab on top of the top feed and give it a little push down to get past a bad fork or just to regain a bit of grip. Get some pictures up of your setup nd keep us posted how you get on.
-
Yes it is! Brilliant concept but just not quite rite 😉 if only it was 4x4 Keep looking johny nd hopefully you'll find me my dream machine eventually 👍
-
I'd quite like something a bit like the 3rd leg setup you have for your mulcher head but with the grab on the end instead so could tilt it back and have something solid to help turn or aid pulling up slopes, bit like this American style end, if done nicely could also help carry logs lengthways by wedging 1 end under the foot

What song is on repeat in your head whilst aloft?

Kids TV theme tunes are lethal and so very annoying especially if it's something like my little pony -

https://youtu.be/FE0XcdM22Yo Had this today for some reason, not good when you have com's on nd everyone else has to suffer it too! -
Got a link to that Paul? Sorry to derail the truck thred by the way😇
-
That I'd like to see some more pictures of, just love those chippers but not on stringy willow if it's a little dull. Is it a Home brew job? Just looked at picture again and can now spot engine mounted next to the chamber on far side, neet.
-
It's doing well for a 4 potter 👍 Yeh they just chew away continuesly till its gon and better with the chip discharge being continuous as tents not to go everywhere like a regular chipper that's on off all the time.
