A TREE surgeon was so impressed by GreenMech’s EVO Series of woodchippers he bought not one, but two. 

Rob Drinkwater, of Drinkwater Tree Services, is now the proud owner of the 6” EVO 165P and 8” EVO 205D, both of which are delivering “first class” performance. 

Rob set up his own company 17 years ago and undertakes all areas of domestic tree and hedge maintenance, alongside his team of four, in and around Weston-super-Mare. 

“I have always used GreenMech woodchippers, mostly because the advice and support we’ve had from them and our local dealer – GA Groundcare – over the years has always been second to none,” he said. “When the time was right to upgrade, we asked GA Groundcare what they had, and they brought along the EVO 165P. My team and I were so impressed by what we saw we didn’t even ask the price!”

The EVO 165P sub-750 kg features all the key elements of the EVO series, such as a wide infeed chute, horizontal rollers and heavy-duty flywheel – powered by a 37 hp Briggs & Stratton Vanguard petrol engine.

“The beauty of this machine is the manoeuvrability,” Rob added. “It’s light and nimble enough for us to get it right where we want it for domestic jobs. It’s the perfect combination of versatility, performance and power. 

“We then wanted a larger machine for take downs and site clearances so the EVO 205D was the obvious choice. The power from the 50 hp engine means we can process large material, really quickly and despite its size, it’s surprisingly quiet. 

“That is great when we’re working in close proximity to buildings.”
