Really like the look of the greenmech and would also be interested in any reviews on the chipper.

Always had a cabstar but unfortunately Nissan has stopped making them so will have a look at the Isuzu truck. When I pulled alone side one the other day everything looked to be that little bit bigger then my cabstar.

What 3.5t truck would people say were built to take more weight then what they were plated at. Unfortunately most of the time we are all driving overloaded but it would be good to have a truck that is within its safe working limit, to take an extra ton even if it is not legal. Does anyone know if the Isuzu 3.5 ton tipper is such a truck.
-
Not a bad thing to say about them.

the best water proof arborist jacket to date
treevolution replied to markrufrider's topic in General chat
Got a cut and climb and was good until I washed it and then it just started to let the water in. Got a SIP Protection KEIU Rain Jacket 3 years ago which has never been in the wash and still keeps the rain out. Have also got the KEIU rain trousers which are also really good. Funny with the cut and climb jacket that some people say it's bomb proof and will keep you dry while others say it lets the water in and not worth the money. -
If you go down the power pack option I have a 22 ton splitter that has had very little use. PM if interested.

I personally think that the battery range of trimmers now on the market are far superior to the motorised ones. Cordless chainsaws are getting better each year.

Just starting to move all saws over to aspen but unfortunately my little 150 does not seem idle, no matter how I tune it but if I put in pump fuel it runs fine again. Could anyone shed some light on the problem. Thanks in advance

Cs100 would be a great long-term investment and hold their money very well.

Zigzag with Chicane or Rope Wrench Hitch System
treevolution replied to tree_stooge's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
If you have a hitch climber set up go for the rope wrench as the only additional thing you need is a stiff tether. I use the zigzag with the rope wrench with a steel tether I got from America before the chicane came out and have to say the Zigzag works great on SRT. -
It's easier to phone to place your order.

Try this company, they are a copy of greenteeth but are half the price and I found them to last twice as long. QRMS Ltd Only downside is your teeth pockets wear slightly faster as they are a bit smaller in diameter.
-
I was wondering if anyone had used the wearsharp greenteeth and if they found that they lasted longer then the regular greenteeth. Thanks
-
Thanks for the reply. When I did my research it seem that there was no real saving once accountancy bills have been taking into consideration.

How much profit do you need to to make going limited worthwhile against being a sole trader.

I don't think the old ones had a turbo. They used the turbo on the std8 to get 45hp out of the same engine. I think Greenmech have gone down the route of having a heavier flywheel to produce more torque from a less powerful engine. Wonder if forst have done the same with the fly wheel.
-
It looks like the STD6 has the same engine as before but only producing 24 hp rather then 35 hp as before to comply with stage V emissions. Is this done by putting a restrictor on the engine and is it possible to remove once the chipper has been brought. Can't see how the new STD6 would be able to compete with the old ones with a drop in horse power.
-
Have the price's for diesel chipper's now taken a big price jump due to the additional cost of having a stage V engine.

Unfortunately OPM is now out of control and will eventually cover the majority of the country. Not only will it make it more difficult to carry out work on Oak trees but we will start to lose our Oak, I have heard of a number that have had to be felled due to the damage caused by the caterpillar. It's ridiculous that is started off from a few trees that were imported from Holland and planted by Hanger Lane, London. It would be good if the ARB association could provide training on how best to deal with it as it can be very detrimental to your health.
-
The ARB trolley really changed things for me. I remember when we had handball everything out of the garden. Also helmets. Remember when everyone had the same husqvarna helmet with the elastic chin strap.

Pfanner arborist Type A are probably the lightest trousers for tree work.

Best narrow access stump grinder in 2019?
treevolution replied to benedmonds's topic in Large equipment
I have a HB20 and can see it outlasting me. The new ones can just about go through a 25 inch gap when you take of the outer wheel. Could you not recondition the one you have. The only downside I find is it is a heavy machine and you do feel it at the end of the day. -
There will always be parts for the machine, I was just not sure what would happen to the Quadchip once they had used up all the stage 4 engines. First one I change at 800 hours and then the second at only 370 hours but this was because I wanted one of the last ones with the stage 4 diesel engine. Have to say Greenmech are brilliant to deal with and any issues that have I have had have been sorted asap. They are also very helpful on line and phone to help with any problems you might have.

On my 3rd one and have to say a brilliant chipper. Would not really be able to go back to an inline chipper now as the turntable makes things a lot easier. Round blades last a lot longer then straight ones and are easy to turn/change. There is a lot of really good design points on it that when it came out it was ahead of a lot of the chippers of that time. If you get one that has four round blades the chip does not seem to make it all the way to the back of the truck due to it being a very fine chip. Greenmech will give you a kit that you can change to a two blade system making the chip bigger which means it will throw the chip further. Went from a 150 and have to say the quad chip was is so much better. Think that the Quadchip will cease production this year so could be some good deals on one.

Unfortunately it has to be gone this week and is now sorted but thank you for your interest.
