You won’t get much better and more versatile than the WP36 for the money. We put thousands of tons through ours and it was great for most of the time!

For road towable processors there's nothing to match it on price.  Normally when you buy cheap  you invariably buy dear, but the WP36 is the exception to that old rule.

I'm in the process of looking to upgrade my 2 y/o machine and  the only alternative I can find is to import a used Bell from the states, but that's going to be the thick end of £40K.  Resale of the Riko is easy as they have a genuinely decent reputation for being simple and easy to operate and repair and make for decent used machines

PS/  Riko are very good with their after sales service and can get any spares to you within a couple of days.  I can't recommend them highly enough

Very high praise. What do second hand wp36s go for?

[bilke_user]

I'd take £7500 for mine and it would still be a bargain for the next user

I take it these are rebadged Farmi Mastersplit WP36.

That's the tractor mounted one.  
The trailed one I'm running has an additional 13hp Honda engine, c/w extra pumps, the trailer and an optional log lifter

Riko WP36 and Farmi WP36 are identical, except for the stickers.  The ID plate on them says Farmi
