Re: After my first chipper..!!
Well maybe but I spent much less on my TW including a rebuild, new rotator, bearings etc.
But it helps if you can fix it yourself. |

Re: After my first chipper..!!
I bought a £4500 plus vat chipper about 6 years ago, and it's been one of the most reliable tools i've ever bought.

Re: After my first chipper..!!
I can honestly say that I would NEVER borrow money or use finance to purchase any business equipment. I'd rather save up and do without until I can afford it. However, I understand that for some people the borrowing route may be ideal for them. I like the fact that should anything happen (eg bad health) then I don't have to worry about extra payments.
