    Agreed! We run both TW150 (6") and a pto GM220 9" (125hp mog power) Whilst they are both excellent chippers, the GM is MUCH quicker by virtue of the fact that next to no snedding of branches is required and we can load bigger quantities into it. The no stress rarely ever kicks in and the power of the feed rollers is much greater so it just keeps chipping away. We find it's more economical to drag out, stack and then chip in one go or in batches on larger trees. Such is it's capacity and work rate. I think it weighs about 850kg. If we ever get a second mog we will definitely look to get a similar pto machine for it..

    We do one regularly, it's about an acre and half. Very steep in places so a ride on is useless there.. First time we did it was pretty overwhelming.. Then each time we did it we got much quicker. Churchyards tend to be Very hard on mowers so we asked the church warden to buy a dedicated mower just for the job. They did a toro walk behind with mulch capability. We use the job to train our guys how to strim and mow. It's worked out well. It's not the best paid job but it's regular.

    pto chipper

    TIMON replied to matt99's topic in Large equipment

    We bought a green mech 220 for less than your budget and it is excellent. We run it off a mog. We're well happy with it.

    Hi Jon , 34c in Alicante Spain. Thanks Timon :)

    Interesting subject. As some of you know our tree teams are crewed entirely with recovering drug addicts. This presents unique challenges as an employer...as you can imagine. Guys enter our programme to turn their backs on destructive lifestyles. Teaching practical skills is one thing, we put our guys through cs30/31 when they have been with us a while then we will look to send them on further climbing courses etc... Teaching guys a good work ethic and a responsible attitude can take a lot longer... Employers can use incentives and disciplinary procedures to help modify employees behaviour at work but to change someone's heart attitude is a different ball game altogether...

    We're also going to alter how the chipper sits on the 3 point link so it rides higher when not in use...

    We did look at the possibility of a TP chipper from AV (where the mog came from). While we were deciding the green mech became available for a really excellent price it does look a bit on the long side (worse in the photos) but the mog copes really well and it's performance is incredible.. It's really helped our business to grow. Thanks. Timon

    Nice one Steve , that's helpful mate...takes us ages to clean up!
  18. TIMON
    And a bit low as well! it's a work in progress...... Performs fantastic though. Out performs the chip box!
  19. TIMON
    Thanks.

    HM, No worries.... Sounds like it's right up our street..... Timon
  21. TIMON
    What chipper??? :)
  22. TIMON
    Hi HM, We are based in Worcestershire and would be happy to quote for the job. Did you get the PM I sent you with contact details? Thanks, Timon
  23. TIMON
    Best move we ever made was getting a Mog and Pto chipper. We still run an LDV with a 150 timberwolf but it's a toy in comparison..... And so far this year we've spent more maintaining the LDV than the mog...,,,!! Next move is a bespoke chip box...and possibly front mount the chipper so we can get a crane and trailer at the back..

    Agreed, we've tried loads of different handsaws and we always come back to either the 300mm gomtaro or the 330mm natananko. Used with a sawpod nothing comes close.....

    Hi mate, We've got two teams that work out of south BHAM ( I'm on holiday for the next fortnight ) I'll PM you a number to phone we might be able to work something out. Thanks, Timon
