    The blades last longer, will take more damage and are quite in use, you get 3 turns as well. Sent from my SM-N910F using Arbtalk mobile app

    St8 brake the bottom motor mount and coupling, also one of the bottom bearings is actually a brass bush that is shagged at 250 hrs so it's not all good, mine has done all 3 in the space of 2 months! Sent from my SM-N910F using Arbtalk mobile app

    If your talking about Balmers there crap! I had issues with them as a dealer when I had a qc 5 yrs ago, I called 2 weeks ago to arrange a demo only to be told " we don't have one of them" nowt changes. Sent from my SM-N910F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Yeah it does but on a restricted o it's a max off 100k from Base so in this game just going to a job and back or possibly 2 your milage should be fairly low. Sent from my SM-N910F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Why 6 weeks? If it's a restricted licence you can have up to 13 week inspection Sent from my SM-N910F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Very true no matter what Size it will never be big enough, I don't really need to get them through the hgv as 2 of us have it anyway, leave the kids in a 3.5t. Sent from my SM-N910F using Arbtalk mobile app

    That's ok but also ties you to driving it all the time,I'm lucky one of my guys has an old licence the younger 2 don't and I ain't forking out 1700 for them to do there test. A 7.5 is as easy over loaded as a 3.5 t unless your strick with your self. Sent from my SM-N910F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Don't forget if your going 7.5t your going to need a trailer licence or a 750k chipper, best all rounder is a 6.2t Isuzu npr, you could down rate a 7.5 but there basically a down rated 10tonner so are heavy. We currently run 2x 3.5t as I can send 2 teams out, one is used for logs and if ones out if action the other is still usable. Sent from my SM-N910F using Arbtalk mobile app

    We demoed the 90xp with 85hp perkins on topped conifers the other day, the top lift/crush takes it into another league and having the tracked 8"jenny and 130 road tow is pretty much all bases covered. Sent from my SM-N910F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Never did it John, called my "local " dealer only to be told "we don't have one of them" and a lenthly silence! Going 9" or 12" bandit from good owd Deano. Sent from my SM-N910F using Arbtalk mobile app
  20. Ian C
    Mmmmm your horse my be biased! The new gm stuff is well built and seems to perform well, I got a second hand little 130 petrol fir one of my lads to pull and we are still shocked on how good it is, in fact it has saved a few days when the forst has broken down! My only gripe with gm is they totally useless dealers. Sent from my SM-N910F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Gm arborist 200. Sent from my SM-N910F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Forget the tw 280 for the time being, they have work to do I think and so does Barry! Not sure what the problem is but it spits large bits of wood out the hopper like you wouldn't believe, we tried it for a day only ran for 10 mins till it spat a big piece back and jammed the rollers! Can't use it on a road or near a foot path l, it too dangerous. Sent from my SM-N910F using Arbtalk mobile app

    As I have said before redwoods customer care is the best I have ever had, bit these problems need sorting or a good brand will end up down the swanny! Sent from my SM-N910F using Arbtalk mobile app
