Arbor cut had a 14hp last time I was there.

Agreed, I had this last year... One year old Isuzu Dmax, driving home from work was a sarcen stone in the road which must of come off of a lorry, saw it last minute, swerved out of the way but caught the rear wheel, tyre had a massive gash through it. An inflatable can wasn't going to help me, so I rang my old man who came and picked me up. Comes as an optional extra at the cost of around £250.

I know ag contractors that now only run on white due to doing mixed work of hauling and field work because of the grey areas

On the Kubota G2160 we just carried out a routine service, however the input shaft seal on the deck gearbox had popped out and had been like it for some time... this is the oil we drained from the box. Had luckily not damaged any gears but all bearings were shot, rebuilt with new bearings and seals. Has a Autoguide 48" mulch deck fitted from new on this one.

Had a customers JD GX355 in for service, wouldnt run on collection, its used for cutting around the farm estate etc. Collected along with their Kubota G2160 for service A couple of people had looked at the JD already which always makes you slightly nervous... firstly checked for diesel and the supply to the pump was weak, removed the fuel lines and blew them out which improved the supply slightly. Next job was to clean the tank, we have a fine filter funnel we drained it through and removed all of this. Ran like a dream afterwards! although we noticed there was a large amount of engine movement which after investigation had a loose engine mount bolt and another one snapped off in the block. Not ideal, engine out job. Wear visable where it has been like this for some time

Budget around £4250 plus the vat.

Take a look at the GeeenMech CS100. Plenty of videos on YouTube.

Pete, Has this replaced an existing dealer? I'm assuming they will be butting up against Global and THW? Ash

Can post them to us and we'll grind them.

Alastair Thomson, GreenMech's man in Scotland.

Wish Alastair well from me Pete. Top bloke. -
Think everyone's wants are different. I had a customer replace a big Vermeer with an Arb130. Fed up of something big and logged the decent size stuff.

There is a category for mowing machines. You can register for daytime only so no need for lights. What mower is it? Do they do it road legal from new? If so you may be able to get a certificate of newness from the manufacture which will help getting it registered at DVLA

Most 1505's are around 33hp but I've seen them in commercial mowers upto 37/38hp. Some 'Inlines' are 4 cylinder. Our new Jensen A530 750kg is a 1105 turbo 3 pot. I've found the turbo lumps get back on the boil quicker than a normally aspirated unit which in turn gets the no stress recovered quicker and chipping again. But some people prefer a calmer NA 4 cylinder. Horses for courses
-
Weight isn't often just cut from the chassis either. Most 750kg units if Kubota will run a V1105 over a V1505. Same HP but a lighter 3 cylinder turbo opposed to a NA 4 pot as found in say a ST6 Forst. I worked for a GM main dealer and they are big in the 750kg market, never personally experienced a failed chassis or severe structural malfunction.

See In my opinion that's like buying a 7 seater car with a wife and two kids just because you can and it was within budget. But yes a letter box infeed will cut down on time snedding out no end. If you compare the TW150 to a 1623 GM you'll get a lot more awkward material through the GM. Cheaper too. I used to sell GM and loved demoing against a TW because of the letterbox infeed.

If your looking at older chippers the residual on an older GreenMech will be lower than a TimberWolf. Perception of the brand back then. Don't just buy something big cause you can, if you only need a 6' chipper max towing a bigger beast around and trying to manoeuvre off the truck will annoy you.

We are just outside Devizes but also carry out onsite repairs etc. Our A530 demo unit arrives next week. If you don't know when it was last changed I would recommend doing it. Water ingress is the usual problem for hydraulic oil (often condensation through metal tanks)
-
Normally if it runs better when warm it's hydraulic flow issue. We've had this with pattern filters not flowing enough, wrong oil fitted etc. What grade oil have you got in the hydraulic system and when was it last serviced? We are in Wilts and are now a Jensen dealer inline with the recent changes. If you get stuck can happily take a look for you.

Arbor cut gets replicas made. Give Robert Ghinn a bell
-
What you going for?
-
No all of these in situ. Although can do either. With strip I meant, roller bearing replacements on some, some required cylinder bearings, bottom blocks off, new blades, light skim for trueness and re assemble.

Can't help with vehicle but have a Jensen A530 for hire
