Hi

Yes, there was a guy who worked part time as a lecturer at Plumpton college , can't remember his name but he was involved in an old Gravely that was stripped by local agents to do some repairs but the cost to finish was too much for them, worth a call to Paul Collins at Plumpton college forestry department and see if you can get a lead on the unit, all I know is that it was red and on a turntable but most defiantly was a Gravely.

Hope this helps.

Most are in the south, the old number was the 18XX & 20X dependent on HP. QTS have a 18XX as well.

TDL will be responsible for the QTS 790 but we will support them if they need any advice or help. All Terex products are supported by the worldwide dealer network regardless of which Terex approved dealer sold it.

Whole UK

Are these not woodsman chippers painted white?

Woodsman was purchased by Terex in 2011 and the whole range went through a revamp over the last few years to streamline the model range.

Products leave the factory having had the Terex quality control process.

You will find the finish on the Terex product one of the best in the world.

The head quarters for the Terex Environmental Products is in Northern Ireland.

The chippers are now manufactured with the whole world requirements in mind and not just the USA market place.

anyone ever check out bell's firewood processor? Half the price of the multitek.

Hi, Any drum chipper will self feed if the feed table is too low where the material meets the drum knife, that's how the chuck and duck work.

Oh yea forgot to say, Terex brought Woodsman back in 2011.

Do you mean that the woodchippers are not rebranded products? I thought that they were just Woodsman with a different paint job? With the grinders, did they fit Greenteeth because of any reason as I thought that Patrick's system was the standard for the Laski made stuff?

Hi Pete

The chippers were Woodsman but over the last 24 months all the models have had a revamp with many changes. the chipper range has had the Terex build quality put into them. (not that the woodsman chippers had any problems)

Quality control, finish and worldwide compliance is all done at the factory.

The green teeth would always be the preferred grinder teeth over the multi tip system. The the North American tree care industry knows the green teeth product with plenty of national coverage for replacement parts.

Laski fit there own teeth in Europe as far as we know.

So I've been using a dimand disc on the grinder for a while which does the job ok although not the fastest it's good for on site touching up.

I've just purchased a 8" wetstone bench grinder and need to buy a decent wheel for doing the stump grinder teeth.

I've heard green wheels, can any one recommend a good 8" one?

Hi

I think we have Green wheels in stock at our Haywards Heath depot, will have a look and give you a call tomorrow.

Have Terex made any changes to the stock Laski stump grinder that they have re-badged?

Apart from fitting the green teeth system and giving the product the Terex colour scheme, non that we know about.

You can get the Fecon with the Ahwi rotor in it, speak with Paul Vidgen

Hi Guy

Have been reading the posts, Pete is correct the Terex Stump grinder is a Laski. Only available in the USA under the Terex Environmental Equipment (TEE) brand.

We are the Terex distributor for the UK and some other European areas.

The tree care equipment all falls under the Environmental Equipment division of Terex, with the chippers being manufactures in the USA at Terex's own factory. (Not Laski Chippers)

You will see a lot of new tree care products becoming available through the network worldwide.

The one thing you will get from a Terex product is service and back up through the worldwide Terex dealer network. The tree care industry machinery support up to now through out the world has been a bit hit and mis depending where you are. That looks like it is about to change with the tree care equipment owner/customer soon being able to enjoy the back up for their equipment the same as you would expect from the likes of JCB, CAT John Deere etc. any where in the world.

Your input on the chipper weight issue is interesting and very much appreciated.

It may be soon that chippers will have to have their own registration plate and MOT test, like elsewhere in Europe plus with the driving licence regulations changing all the time towing any trailer be it chipper or flat bed will be a case of the right tool for the job.

Do you think it will come down to chipper running costs then like fuel, maintenance etc. vs productivity?

In the current market Sub 750 is important

 

The firewood market is buoyant so the need for big chippers is far less than it once was

 

Which manufacturer are you?

Hardmet landforce

Thanks for your response

I have had a lot of different opinions from arborists with regards 750kg tow weights of a 6" chipper. as a manufacture we are interested to know if you guys find the tow weight more important then performance and durability.

Which one is the decider when choosing a chipper?

Another firewood merchant forestry contractor had a demo and the first thing he said was that the saw blades are such a big diameter that they have to be really thick. When your doing big diameter timber that's a lot of wood to loose. The other thing he noticed is that as we do short logs they never land properly in the splitting chamber. The other obvious one is cost it's a lot of money to get back.

That is a problem with the short logs that we require in the UK, but if a log table is fitted to the processor this prevents the cut ring from falling into the splitting chamber at an angle as the saw cuts through the log. Once the full cut is made the table pulls back quickly dropping the ring into the chamber with a slight spin and level, this helps prevent hang ups in the chamber that you get with big wood.

Anyone seen one of these? Wondered if they're any good and had made it across the pond, they process upto 24"

The unit is a cheap copy of a Canadian Bells processor, plus the video is speeded up to make it look fast.

There good but like all American circular saw processors they take a good half inch out the log every cut thats a lot of cord to loose.

You can have bar and chain, the circular saw is an option on the mid size models. The advantage with the circular saw is time as they cut quicker but as you say they take a larger cut of the cord.

The advantage of the Canadian machine's is you get a lot more machine for the money and high production rates with low maintenance. Worth a look if your looking for a high volume processor and reducing production costs.

Firewood Processors

Don't know if these processors would be of interest but there will be one on show at the APF 2014.
