1623 or 1928?

They're both awesome by the way!

A mate has a 1623 which is a 6'' machine with a 6''x9'' infeed (spanks all over a tw150, is more equivalent to a TW190 in my opinion), and the 1928 is a 7.5'' machine with a 7.5''x11'' mouth. As far as I'm aware all the tracked versions of both models are safetrak machines capable of working on embankments, and I don't know of another tracked chipper that will get close to where a 1928 can go. You can get a 1623 with very narrow tracks when closed up allowing for super-tight access, but this is an option from new and I think it would be expensive to retro fit at a later date.

Once you have used a Safetrak machine you realise how limited other tracked chippers are in terms of where they can realistically get to, and it can transform how you approach a job.

We've put 1000 hours on a second hand 1928 safetrak in 2 years and it has been excellent throughout.

Budget wise - speak to Pete B on here. I'm sure he can arrange a demo for you too.

1623 , currently have a 1928 on hire up north but its too heavy for some jobs that we have.. So was looking for a 1623 and what sort of price they were..
