reenMech ’ s ongoing
G commitment to product enhancement
has seen an exciting upgrade on two popular petrol models . From 20th January 2025 , production of the EVO 165P Sub-750 and Arborist 150P will feature a new Briggs and Stratton Vanguard EFI 40HP engine , delivering even greater power , productivity and efficiency .
Originally launched to meet the requirements of modern arborists and landscapers looking for powerful bite , torque and throughput in a sub-750kg package , the EVO165P Sub-750 has gone on to cement its position as one of the most capable woodchippers in the 6 ” category . The key features of the series including wide infeed chute , twin horizontal rollers , all steel bonnet and heavy-duty flywheel are now combined with a higher horsepower engine , taking proven performance to new heights .
The Arborist 150P is already the top selling chipper in Europe in its class , but by installing a high-output 40hp petrol engine , GreenMech can now offer close to similar performance to the diesel-engined Arborist 150D , but at a lower cost .
Together with delivering close to 8 % more processing power for brash and woody waste , the newly upgraded models also feature a yellow idle / run button to quickly and easily increase or decrease throttle power to operating speed . The simplicity of button operation and electronic throttle now aligns with GreenMech ’ s diesel offerings , facilitating the chippers to go from idle to full power with one touch . They also feature a second hour meter , mounted directly to the engine , and an upgraded ignition barrel .
As standard , all models in the EVO and Arborist ranges feature GreenMech ’ s unique disc blade chipping system .
In operation , only 30 % of the blade ’ s circumference comes into contact with the waste material , reducing the blades vulnerability to contaminant damage and enabling the blade to be turned to a new sharp section when edges get worn . This equates to 600 % more blade life and significantly more hours of chipping before the need to re-sharpen .
The new EVO 165P Sub-750 and Arborist 150P are also backed-up by GreenMech ’ s no-quibble , three-year parts and labour warranty . For more information visit www . greenmech . co . uk
