Default Re: Sharpening Chipper Blades

Run the 18" chippers, get my blades sharpened professional each time. $50 per set and they pick them up from my house and drop back. All in the price!! When you get four or five sets a week its just easier.

Do find the opeing on the 6 " a little restrictive but the 12" does give you the advantage of a little less cutting

we had 3 * 7.5" tracked timberwolfs on hire for 7 weeks for a job we done and the difference the 1.5" extra made was great compared to our 6". But our 6" is fine for our normal work in the uk.

Yeah was talking to a couple of blokes from B'ham yesterday hiring my gear. And I think six inch is as big as you'd want to go. I don't think you would get any of my gear within a mile of a job in the uk. except of council parks etc.
