shillo

I am not sure I understand. it is carried on a trailer. it is on tracks so it drives itself up the ramp. in the photo its is just facing the brash and I am blowing it into the back of my truck.

The gl&d wee chipper is expensive for the build quality but performance wise she puts a smile on my face every time I take her out. Just cant beat gravity and a feed roller!

We did a biggy a while back. It was hard to see just how dead it was from looking from below. The sticky resin was horrible on ropes etc, made devices almost inoperable! Spikes were not bad for the climber as not many spikes close into the stem. just an arse for the guys on the ground feeding the chipper. Millions of spiky dead hard leaves to try to clear up. Old wax jacket worked a treat.

in Devon also, ive had 2 already this year, usually 10 or so every year. to be honest I just scratch them off. My son got one on his head which we didn't notice until it was gorged and fit to drop off. He developed facial paralysis down one side of his face. lymes diagnosed rapidly, lots of antibiotics given, soon cleared up.

10 cube of chip? like hell?

they were talking about it on radio 4 a couple of days ago, with reference to builders though. yes a load of rubbish was the conclusion

oh the only other annoying thing is that its bloody loud!

not big stuff, short and fluffy oak IMG_8647.mov

Very impressed with it overall except the build quality isn't great, but nothing gone wrong with it yet and ive put several hours on it. I got bored with the jo beaus etc, a third of the material flows through lovely a third you have to try to force into it and a third you have to try hold it back so you dont stall them. gl&d super just chuck it in and go get the next bit no faffing about. you just cant beat the combination of gravity with the feed roller. fluffy stuff and hedge trimmings are easier to feed to this chipper than my 7inch road tow. The only annoying thing I have found is that you have to remember to switch the hydraulic flow lever from track drive to feed roller drive which I always seam to forget and then wonder why the machine will not track or wonder why the feed roller wont work!

ive got the micro cylinder. it is certainly lighter than the stein bollard, but is it just me or do the smaller diameter bollards cause a lot more twist in the rope? I also cant seam to 'let them run' as well as with a bigger diameter bollard. I also couldn't get on with the shizll. it looked super easy to adjust and slide down a stem for blocking down but in practice I found it a pain in the arse.

PFANNER BOA

I bought it 'nearly new' from arbtrader 9k

I decided to buy the gl&d titan wee chipper. I tried the eliet and jo beau but this simply out performed both of them but certainly is not built as well as either of the other two. So far ive been very impressed. You just cant beat a feed roller! IMG_8337.mov

did he say 720kg payload?

once again I thought I was going to become an overnight millionaire! ohh well....
