  1. Big shortages here - situation dire is what my 2 suppliers both say. Timbermills won't even give projected supply dates and prices have risen 30% since October/November gales. I've got 80 bays of closeboard/gravel board/concrete posts to put up, all overdue now and have explained to the customers - I'm sure some didn't believe me so told them they're welcome to phone around! Came back to me in a couple of days and said they'd wait for me to get panels and do the job
  2. Been looking for a used chipper for several months - seen some overpriced rubbish, had 5 scam listings removed from ebay, 1 from preloved. Fire on my Greenmech Chipmaster finally gave me the kick up the arse I needed and I got a rebuilt Jensen 530. Only used it for a couple of small jobs so far, but very, very impressed. Time will tell if reliability is good, but it makes the Greenmech look like a very sick puppy in comparison (even from when it was fairly new). Stuff I wouldn't even have attempted to put in the Chipmaster, the Jensen doesn't even pause with and the chip quality is consistent. Backed up with poor spares service from Greenmech - it seems that only one person there is worth talking to, and I'm very glad I bit the bullet and changed. This is only my personal opinion, and I'm sure others with far more experience than I, have different ideas and have good impressions of other machines
