I very much doubt it Pete. As Stubby said, check it with a chronograph. Local gun club or gun shop should have one.

You don’t need to register a sub-12 ft/lbs airgun Pete. If it’s more powerful than that you’d need an FAC.

How do we know you’re not a mega-bot that has been running an arb forum for years?

All these cheap skid steer loaders about…….

Ditch Witch will all be way over a tonne Mick. They are an altogether bigger machine than the mini skids. Cast Worky Quad and Sherpa are both good, but won’t have the flow rate to run a flail effectively. Everything is a compromise! -

Mick the TW230 is the most popular chipper in the UK because we are all as thick as pig shit.

Whatever you use, remember to twang it and say ‘That is going NOWHERE.’

That’s what I thought. No rain since I did it before the last two weeks.

Driving and towing entitlements are important too. The more and bigger the better.

I think you could piss £25k, I’d say nearer £30k.

They obviously haven’t read the memo then Dan.

Thinking how do to get the job done in the quickest time. That takes experience. You sound like a pretty switched on bloke, and the ag background means you’ll be a pretty practical sort. You’ll pick it up pretty quick. As others have said though if you’re chasing really decent money do something else.

I’d second that Jules. The only one I’ve ever done turned its toes up within a year. Luckily (?) we got to it before it was too crispy. I had a better day than my groundy. Two points of note. The brushwood produced a ridiculous amount of chip compared to the size of the tree. Everything was really heavy, brush and cord. Made a couple of nice stools from it. I’d charge at least double for another one.

A lot depends on what your core work will be. If you’re regularly killing big rows of connies the bigger the better. Standard garden works any hydraulic chipper will make you smile after using a gravity fed.

Nothing really, the 160 replaced the 125. No back-up recoil start. I’ve had both from new, and the 160 always seemed to be a tad more efficient. I think TW uprated it to 6” rather than 5”, but that is busting it’s nuts at the very limit. The 230 is a genuine 6” beast and is probably twice as productive.
