It always concerns me that however careful we are with our own safetyit only takes some muppet to run in the back of you while feeding a chipper and you're f****ed up. I've worked roadside in Ipswich with total Chap. 8 kit out and had some t*** run thru' the cones, people driving thru' red lights when doing take downs over the highway with a crane. Their excuses are stupid to say the least!! We can't cater for these kind of t***s!!

we were lucky that only the lorry was parked on the road.the chipper was on the drive with a pick up and trailor for the grump stinder.the lorry had been tipped and brought back and left on the road as there was no room on the drive.we were working out back and had just finnished grinding.all we heard was a long skid then a bang.
will know a bit more of the damage to the lorry in the morning

Rolla, MB TREES, BTS run trailed Jensens and I think Walkers from Attleboro might have one as well. The chipper itself is really efficient on everything from wet conifer to deadwood, and it is a piece of p*** to maintain, but it does keep shaking bolts loose!

We had a premier on hire from A Plant when i was working with fountains,It was in that bad a state that it blew up while using it.When we took it back they were surprised it was hired out in the condition we had.
I still say you cant co wrong with the likes of Greenmech,Timberwolf & Varmeer.

Fair do's, Ross I haven't seen a premier self-destruct sending broken blades and anvil out of the side casings, and when it (the entec) was returned to the factory it turned out that the weld that held the anvil was sub-standard. It was a while ago but when are they going to make them take in the brash as effectively as Premier? cant speak for the other 2 makes as no experience, but that's what this is here for.

used a 10" greenmech quite a bit in the last 2years.good machine when the disc's are new/sharpe,pile of crap when only a little dull.used it on an ash removal when it was a bit blunt and wouldn't take even 2" branches!!for a 10" machine that's appaling IMO.also used a 6" one and that was one of the biggest piles of sheet ever,wurzel's used a new one and that wasn't much cop either he reckon's.
i also used premiers for about 6 years at a council iworked for.can't fault them in any way,thier only trouble is the price but you do get what you pay for.
biggest pile of sheet was bandit.completly useless.forever breaking

We had a Bandit 6" on demo few years back, put it side by side with 6" premier on hawthorn bushes, Bandit lost no sale! Then they sent down 9" BeastyBandit - put it against 8.5" Premier that was about 13y.o and worn out, Monterey pine this time, Premier 2 - Bandit 0. No sale. Did Use the big 10" Entec on Fastrac, that was the dogs doofers!
