  1. You not seen the comment on a recon one on page one? 2 large cracks in the chassis that had been missed :001_huh:

     

    Yes seen that, not what I would normally expect from Robert, as I said he normally does a good job on machines he re-furbs, we are none of us perfect, its how you deal with it when you make a mistake or miss something that sets some companies apart from others and I am sure that Robert would have have done his best to sort these problems had they arisen after the sale.:thumbup1:

  2. Due to an expanding chipper and stump grinder hire fleet along with increasing sales of new and used arb machinery we are looking for a self motivated individual to carry out service and repair work on chippers, stump grinders and firewood machinery both in the workshop and out on site.

    The right person for the job will have a good knowledge of maintenance of grounds maintenance and/or arb equipment and be able to work alone and as part of a team with preferably a category B+E drivers licence.

    The position will be based in the South Manchester / North Cheshire area with travel throughout our sales areas.

    The job will include:

    Maintenance of hire machines

    Maintenance and repair of Customer's machines

    Delivery of machinery to Customers

    Refurbishing of used machines.

    initially the position will be on a part time basis but could quickly grow into a full time position for the right person.

    If you are interested please email your CV to [email protected] with your contact details and we will be in touch.

    We look forward to hearing from you:thumbup1:

  3. I would like to know, if any forum members, have built a tree trunk splitter for splitting 4/5ft diameter by 3ft long lengths of knotty beech,oak,chestnut, elm,etc . Obviously a serious piece of kit and not cheap to build,as some very high pressures ,forces needed from hydraulic ram ,and the splitting blade ideally a 4 WAY blade to split the trunk in to 4 pieces.

     

    Can I point you to the Binderberger 40 tonne splitter in the classified section, might not be what you are looking for but you never know:thumbup1:

  4. Hi chaps,

    what would you go for if you worked on small stuff, domestic garden scrub, leylandii and fruit tree branches. I am fed up with smashing it up in the trailer with my bigger saw to mulch it down. My budget isnt big £2-3k. CS-100 or a 125 timberwolf. I van the trailer around and dont have a 4x4 or similar as yet.

     

    Thanks v much

    Nathan

     

    Could do you a new Timberwolf TW13/75 on that budget, give us a call:thumbup:

  5. Is there a self propelled model on a turntable?

     

     

    Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

     

    The ST20B is the only pedestrian grinder in the FSI Range, the next size up, the D30-470 is a 4 wheel x 2 wheel drive machine with hydraulic steering, so sorry there is no 2 wheeled self propelled FSI.:thumbup1:

  6. The ground clearance inboard of the track frames doesn't look very good on that TW. And I wouldn't put a TW190 in the same size category as a GM1928 personally - the infeed throat size is more closely matched to a GM1623. The letterbox feed makes a 1928 operate more like a 9" machine IMO.

    It will be an interesing day when Timberwolf come up with some of their own ideas and stop having to copy other people's! :001_tt2:

     

    I don't think you can call the trackbase on the TVGTR a copy of any one's machine, the design and operation is unique to Timberwolf but gives the same outcome, safer tracking on slopes and un-even ground which is not problem unique to Greenmech users. The in-feed size is smaller than the 1928 but it would give Matmoss an alternative to the disc blade system which he says he is not a fan of whilst still keeping the safer tracking on slopes etc. Matmoss,The TVGTR is available for demo if you want to try it for yourself:thumbup1:

  7. Good machine ed but expensive for what it is.

     

    Depends on how you look at it, compared with some of the cheaper opposition the FSI offers huge operational benefits such as a bigger cutting wheel, independent brakes on each wheel and a large slew ring which makes the grinding so much easier on the operator. I would call it good value for money, specially at the end of a full days grinding with one:thumbup1:

  8. Christ, what do I do, looked back on some older posts ref. the Laski, I know they are a truck load cheaper but the build quality seems suspect?

    Really confused now, though in a good way.

    Hopeful this thread will get some more posts to give some other people's opinions!

    Gotta love this foram:thumbup:

     

    Why not take a look at the FSI ST20B, awesome little grinder with a turntable for easy grinding, a 13hp Honda engine and 370mm cutting wheel, take a look at our website and give me a call,

    New and used stump grinders :

  9. like this

     

    This is the type of carrier I used to have on my Navara, you just need to slide a short length of rubber hose over the bottom of the clamp to pack it out.

    Worked fine and do fit over the 70mm crossbars:thumbup:

  10. Well what a pain in the backside it is finding a bike rack to fit a navara roof rack. Has anyone here found something that fits please? Not interested in the towbar mounted ones, mainy because I don't have a towbar as yet and I need something for this weekend.

     

    I'd have thought Nissan would do something that would fit in the c channels in the buck but can find nothing online.

     

    Cheers

     

    When I had my Navara the Thule single bike carriers clamped onto the cross bars, the only problem was that the cross bars were too thin so I slid some rubber pipe over the bottom part of the clamp to pack it out, never lost a bike, I dont think:confused1:

  11. Bit out of my area but I am sure that Rosemary at Green Plant will be able to give you the info you need. Don't hesitate to give me a shout if I can be of any help. Cheers

  12. Compared to a 150 it will not chip as fast but will cope with the majority of the same branch wood. I have a customer who has had a sx200 for about 6 months in the north west for both small tree waste and shrub bed and glass house waste. I am sure they would be happy to speak with you ref it's operation. Where abouts in the country are you.

  13. Due to it being costly disposing of hedge cuttings, sweepings and general unchippable waste I wondered if any one has experience with shredders such as

     

     

    TW SX200PHB | Products | Timberwolf

     

    or similar and how they compare against chippers for day to day tree work.

     

    Ta:thumbup1:

     

    Kev

    Shredders will never chip clean brash as well as a chipper of the same size in-feed, they will however process contaminated brash, hedge clippings and sweepings without the damage that would cause to chipper blades and anvils, the Timberwolf machine you mention has an 8" in-feed with conveyor feed but will only really chip 4 - 5" branches but does handle small root balls, shrub bed waste, bramble etc very well as well as broken pallets, door and window casings inc the nails, screws and hinges etc. Drop me a PM or give me a call if you would like to get a look at the SX200PHBC. cheers. 07880 646067:thumbup:
