Chipper engine size matter?

[Mick Dempsey]

Such a difference in weight though surely the 230's have had to sacrifice something to get it down to 750kg....

Some of the manufacturers say you can't make a long lasting chipper under 750kg

To an extent of course, a lot depends on what you regard as long lasting.

 

Plenty of 10 years plus tw150s still fetching very good money.

I guess we won't know until it's 2017 haha one thing I have noticed is they don't hold there value like a 150

[Mick Dempsey]

Err, it is 2017.

[Mick Dempsey]

Ps, what doesn't hold its value like a 150?

[White Noise]

It's often down to the weight of the fly wheel, a heavier one will chomp through stuff much more efficiently than a light one

 

I,ll second that

[James Atkinson]

Err, it is 2017.

 

Sorry I mean 2027, the 230 doesn't. I saw a 2 year old one with around 430 hours on it for £11,000

[James Atkinson]

I,ll second that

 

 

Hence the 230 having one twice the size I guess

Prices bottom out, something like a chipper will depreciate until it reaches a point where it won't go down any more as long as it's half decent.

I guess so mate. I have no idea what a new 230 would set me back though

[Old Mill Tree Care]

I understand the old model was very popular but I haven't seen any of these new ones around

 

 

Well I've got one and no problems with it.

Didn't have any problems with my two previous Jensen either.
