A rip off, but with a swivelling chute which the greenmech misses.. Would you mind sending a couple of pictures of how it attaches? Also curious of how much of a clone it is to the greenmech, as in would it mount the same

The GL&D super look great, £13k +VAT though... it has a niche that it'll be amazing for. Clearing woodland brash isn't that niche. It's not going to be quick at what your describing either.. Probably the most cost effective way and efficient is stack in chipper friendly pikes, and when your out of space hire a 6-8" tracked machine for a short period... unless you want to spend many thousands on owning your own. Or burn it, which is quick and free!?

Has anyone on here seen or modified a Greenmech CS100 to sit on a tracked barrow? I have a greenmech, it's a good chipper but it sucks moving it around, it's actually quite limiting where it can go with one person..

A little black round thing?

The choke is loose, and a bungee holds its back. On the list to tighten. I'll check out the things on top the carb. Ta,

OK thanks. Stale fuel could be a contribution, its been sat for 6 weeks or so.. Maybe I'll look at draining it when I know it will be sat for a while. I'll check out putting a new governor spring on it also and see if that helps. Thanks

Hi I have a 18hp vanguard engine on my greenmech cs100. It frequently pops with extra compression evident out of the exhaust and the engine revs, whilst maintaining high rpm seem to fluctuate. You can see in the video the extra force out of the exhaust with each poo the way it moves the woodchip. Does anyone know what might be the cause of this or where to start looking? Thanks

Looks like Fraxinus augustifolia or narrow leaved Ash. Which are very good at falling apart, as well as look amazing. So most likely some prestige pruning to reduce the likelihood of failure... Whether that's the right course of action is up for debate.

Perenniporia fraxinea?

The bracing specification should be specified by the surveyor.. Your saying 4t but maybe 8t.. that's for the surveyor to specify along with static or dynamic installation and where in the tree.. A single bracing takes an hour to install by one climber, this does alter a bit depending on the size tree and how easy it is to move between each side of you bracing. Plus travel to and from site, accessing the tree, getting the kit laid out etc all the usuall faff. Much easier with two climbers, and take a bag/bucket you can dangle of your harness to put all the bit in.

Likewise. I think it's overall the best available device

After trying a lot of devices, I went for this. Easy midline attaching, no adjustments, short, reliable.

How many accidents are there involving chainsaws bought from argos etc are there? I'd guess very few, so few that any such policies are not worth implementing and is likely a cause of irrational fear based on a potentially serious injury which rarley occurs.
