12 litres!? What machine is that?

TP215,forst st8,vermeer,any better than a bandit
GA Groundcare replied to Craig ketley's topic in Large equipment
Certainly don't discount the GreenMech Arborist 200 Craig. -
I’d strip the other side out as there is a fair chance that one isn’t far behind in terms of failure. If it is a complete bolt on axle may be your simplest option.
-
Yep, 2.5-3mm blade - anvil gap. The right thickness sheet steel is easiest way and safest to measure.

If it’s not on a trailer you can get it to tip with large material, but just peg it down if in a back garden. RRP is 4.6k. Trailer from memory just over 1k. If you put it in the back of an ifor williams or Transit make a locating bracket to hold the chipper in place by the front stand / draw bar. If if you are going to spend over 8.5k on a gravity road tow buy an ex demo / lightly used hydraulic petrol machine like an Arborist 130 and have a 6x9 inch with all the bells and whistles!

You can still hitch lock and wheel clamp the CS trailer... Plus you can lock it to the trailer. Throw on the CS with its drum speed is damn good and no problem firing into the back of your chosen chip wagon.

Should towing/vehicle weight laws change?
GA Groundcare replied to chuck norris's topic in Arb-Trucks
Probably to do with the war time design rear axle / leaf springs! -
I'd go CS100 and trailer, it'll out perform as a tow along with the 160mm x 315mm infeed throat and also you can take it off the trailer, push it into the back garden and carry out all required work there whereas the TW will be sat out on the road side....

^ I did something similar years ago in a defender. I had to pull up and stop on a hill in the wet, loaded trailer started dragging the defender backwards all four wheels skidding about 25 foot. That sure tested my reversing skills, luckily the hill levelled out and came to a stop. -
Stage V Non-road engine diesel emissions
GA Groundcare replied to kevinjohnsonmbe's topic in Business Management
Private / domestic clients you a probably right where you are collecting the cash on completion. It’ll be anything with order numbers or account based clients that take an interest. -
Judging by the models he’s quoting he is after something pedestrian. Honda pedestrians do like to have their fair share of gearbox issues, if you can afford to, go Etesia.

Sorry I can’t help with your tip sites but we are a chipper dealer based 30 mins from Bath by Melksham if you need any service, maintenance or blade sharpening. Ash.

Good evening all, Just a quick post to say we are the main GreenMech chipper dealer for Berks, Glos & Wilts and we have just appointed a mobile service engineer who lives in Reading to serve the Berkshire area... (Hope this post doesn't break any rules) Many thanks Ashley.

How often does hydraulic oil need changing
GA Groundcare replied to Woodworks's topic in Maintenance help
If there is ever any signs of water ingress (oil turned white) then change directly. -
Do you mean the main flywheel itself? What is actually wrong with it? The nose shaft is replaceable if the bearings have worn the shaft and the alloy fins (if later flywheel) are replaceable. Machine shops will be able to rectify any damage and balance it for you. Should be "serviceable" in one form or another...
-
I would be very worried as an arborist with the cost of overall ownership on the Forst. The resale value seems to be non existent with no used market and they are often slightly more expensive initially (probably to help cover their huge marketing campaign and show presence). The Forst fans will say they feed much quicker as the rollers are set to spin faster but with the other leading manufactures still running the same hp Kubota diesel engines powering the flywheel it cannot really handle / exit the discharge chute *much* quicker (pulley ratios and flywheel speed aside for one second).
-
It doesn't have the 1505 in the quadchip.
-
Do you disengage the flywheel on start up then? It isn't a must..
-
If you are looking for new Jamesd, New Forest Farm Machinery are the GreenMech dealer for Hampshire.

We charge £20 a pair plus vat and are your local GreenMech dealer based in Wiltshire, I see you are in Stroud. We can get them picked up at some point when your way or you can post? Thanks Ash

Not used or worked on the major one specifically but I assume it’ll have a bunch of wind paddles on the rotor to generate some air flow like all other flail collectors. Are these fitted? Did you purchase it second hand? Grab a picture of the rotor. What tractor is it on? Enough HP and running at 540 not 540E? If you aren’t getting enough RPM to the machine it won’t be spinning the flail fast enough to generate the air to flow the cut grass into the hopper. Drive belts nice and tight?

The 150P GreenMech is a cracking tool.
