Yeah that sounds like the yellow entec one. I'm used to a jensen 530. Was trying to back the entec down a drive recently and was a nightmare. Really twitchy Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Try the km94 it's a 2 stroke. Had no problems with my one and only around £270 Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

I can't see why stihl make the red stuff anymore? Hp super is within a few pence of the price Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Looks great. Did you hand paint it or spray? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

No I was tempted before they launched it but was a bit uninspired looking at it. I use the older one now and then and it's solid. Can't see why they don't put a bonnet on them anymore Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
-
They've been making that same chipper for 20+ years now! All they've done is remove the bonnet so the road debris gets in the engine, taken away the spare wheel changed thr wheel guards and roller box cover to plastic over metal and painted it orange. This one's a 1997 and 25hp engine. Seems the 'all new' version is a worse machine than they used to make!? I'd imagine it's a decent enough machine but doubt it'll last as long Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Which tracked chipper to go for TW190 or Jensen 530

I'm sure its a brill machine, but hardly a game changer going by this video! its identical to the 190 in chipping speeds -

Wonder if forst, who definitely aren't jensen copies, will be stopping their traxion machine Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app -
I struggle to see how anyone can work full time just doing stumps. Most tree firms have a grinder but may get someone in for bigger stuff but how often does that come up? I can't see how you'd get say 10 stumps/jobs a week, every week without some serious milage and alot of contacts so you're just doing them and not pricing Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

They're certainly not cheap. Around 4k plus vat for a 13hp machine. Believe they're good machines though Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Would it be 20 by time allowed on the job, fuel, pricing the job, travel? Lucky to be on a tenner all said and done. Buy a little machine and make money at a reasonable rate if gonna do stumps or sub them Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

They're not as bad as that. I'd say around hourly I touch the teeth up. Takes about 5-10 minutes Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
-
Don't bother with all that just use it as it is and get someone in for bigger stumps until you can afford a second bigger machine. It's only 13hp, make some money with it and upgrade. Coming from someone who's had one for 2 years and recently bought a bigger rayco 🖒 Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

As said above greenteeth won't fit without modding the flywheel cover and flywheel, it's just too small. Shame as the teeth are the let down on this machine, cuts great when they're new but need lots of touching up with a diamond wheel grinder. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

I'd be around 180 with the stump ground out Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Damn right! Although most people who climbed with those probably aren't climbing now, stopped those around 1999? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

No it wouldn't be the stihl chain doesn't run on that bar. Will be a sugihara chain you're running Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Just inspired me to make this Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

The bolts are on the inside. There's a steel plate goes under the door with expanding bolts holding it into the concrete Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

I've got both of these on my garage door. No way I can see of opening the door from the outside without a lot of noise and effort. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

I'm normally in the transit or occasionally the wife's cmax. People do pay attention though as one job the customer told me I won it as another guy turned up in a new BMW although we quoted the same price Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

That and printer ink! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

It's a bad idea! But would be tempted too. If you compare it to the build your own model delorean advert that's on at the mo which comes in at £1100 odd the saw is a bargain! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
