Distel, I’ve been very pleased with mine the last few years, I’ve got the carbons. Have you checked out kiwi climbers? Not sure who stocks them over there in the uk? But definitely worth a look.

Yeah seen them on a few sites.  
you got the clicks ? 

Hi, looking to change spikes as the steins are killing me.

and the alli bashlins with Velcro pads.

There’s no reason why you can’t use a longer lanyard with it.

It’s not ce marked unless you use the petzl rope 

Hi guys just wondering if anyone uses the art positioner as a secondary climbing line? Can you ascend on it on its own ? 

Currently using a zillion but want a rope longer that 5m for those branches higher than 2.5m up. 

 

Cheers

What i would say is an a530 is a great chipper but unless its done something different its a dated design. I run an a530t machine and have done for years.....

 

Most modern machines will

wipe the floor with them on production.... my tw230 would kick its arse all day long as would munch up most forks and branches all day without snedding.

 

with a jensen a530 you do need to cut for the chipper... that said as a contractor machine it will munch 6” all day and not complain.

 

i like the big blades on the jensen.

 

all in all day to day the tw230 kicks its arse.... will the tw230 be anygood after years of work? Im not sure....

 

my old jensen has done 2600 odd hours and still can put a good shift in

We looked at the timber wolfs but we’re going from one and it’s done nothing but breakdown on us and our local dealer is a Jensen dealer and can offer us a really good deal on it but we don’t know anyone who has had one long term.

Hi we are thinking about getting a new Jensen A530 chipper , we had one out on demo for a day and it was great but would like the opinion of Somone who’s used it for more than 1 day as to maintence ? Does it break down that often and efficiency? 

Cheers
