EVO 165D
DELIVERS POWERFUL PERFORMANCE FOR
ROOTED TREE & LANDSCAPES
An EVO 165D from GreenMech has
become the dominant machine
on the arb fleet of Swansea-based
Rooted Tree & Landscapes. Owner
Craig Mylan has been a loyal user
of GreenMech woodchippers since
he started the company in 2008
with the EVO becoming his fourth
machine, and it’s the most powerful
yet - transforming the way they
carry out both commercial and
domestic tree works.
“I first saw the EVO 165 at its launch
at the 2019 Arb Show and the first
thing that really hit me, or didn’t hit
me more to the point, was the noise!
We have a duty to our customers
and our operators to look at things
like reducing noise and this machine
demonstrates real progress”
explains Craig who heads up a team
of six. “There are so many new
developments on this machine –
simple things like the foldable chute
which makes storage of the unit that
much easier.”
From a performance perspective,
the re-designed flywheel and large
infeed chute have resulted in labour
and time savings when it comes
to processing large volumes of
woody waste. “The more powerful
pull-through means we can feed in
material without having to sned it
down first. It then chips whatever
we feed in quickly and efficiently
before throwing it out again cleanly.
It is without doubt the most
powerful machine we’ve used in
terms of torque and bite.” With its
165mm chipping capacity, the EVO
isn’t the largest machine in Craig’s
fleet, however it has been used on
a range of projects both large and
small.
Another factor that has kept
Craig loyal is the superior back up
support he’s received from those
in the GreenMech dealer network.
“I’ve worked closely alongside
Julian Cullis of GreenMech since
48

way back when, who has always
kept me abreast of new and future
developments. We’re also fortunate
to have Chipper Hire South West not
too far away who have a fantastic
fleet of GreenMech machines to hire
if we need them. With the EVO, the
support we received from our local
dealer Powercut in Carmarthen has
again been first-class.”
“For us independent companies”
Craig concludes, “our success
depends on reliable and robust
equipment that’s capable and
working to its full capacity. The
fact that the new EVO is a great
machine is one thing, but the whole
GreenMech ethos to support their
users every step of the way is
another to really be applauded.”
