A Greenmech Eco
Arborist purchased seven
years from the Aspac
Group is working as well
some 3500hours later, as it
did when purchased.
Geoff “The Treeman”
Birse and his crew of three
work in Melbourne’s
South Eastern suburbs and
take on most jobs, from
small pruning and
trimming jobs to large
tree felling and removal.
“One of the great
features of the Greenmech
is it is compact, meaning
we can push it in to backyards with ease
which reduces time spent dragging limbs to
the street and avoiding health and safety
issues,” Geoff said.
Another unexpected bonus for Geoff is
the quality of the chip. Being small and
consistent means he can get double the
money for a truck load of mulch.
“I have no back up chipper,” Geoff said.
“So reliability has been crucial for us, and in
The Treeman and his chipper
over seven years we average about one day
a year where the chipper has been out of
action for minor repair.”
Geoff was sceptical when he purchased
the Greenmech about claims of reduction
in blade wear but after seven years has only
purchased five sets of blades.
“That equates to $210.00 a year for blade
replacement. To put it another way. The
real secret to long blade life is to rotate
the blades regularly and keep them sharp,
which also greatly reduces fuel consumption
and wear and tear on the chipper.
