AHS Large capacity mobile crane/chipper in action! only £450K!!

[arbwork]

ed yes sorry i did not buy one! (perhaps a sunny day in anglesey!) they are good , musmax I have also heard not so good, lots of time with blades and sharpening etc.

[Mr Ed]

Sorry Jerry, I forget that arbworks is you

 

For what you paid, and the setup you have, I think you made exactly the right decision.

 

I was very impressed with the hiezo chippertruck, far better than the Jenz.

In fact I discovered recently that some German contractors are converting their Hiezo's to run 4 large heavy duty blades.

[arbwork]

no probs, yep if they got that for 200 and poss a grant they have a good deal just the crane chipper and lorry let alone the putting it all together , I had a small play with it and was impressed cheers

I scrapped a big Erjo last year. Got sick of it sitting round in bits.

 

Arbworks, my dynamic had 4 big blades, I could change / turn all 4 in 8 minutes, and would do so every 4 hours of chipping. I've heard the story of blunt hiezo's continuing to chip, and I prefer to stick to the laws of physics.

 

I dont particularly like Musmax chippers, seen a few working and not particularly impressed by their performance, size, or price tag.

 

I guess I like a chipper thats simple, strong, easy to maintain, and has minimal components. My dynamic 565 could produce endless perfect G30 or G50 chip with NO screen, and out of logs, brash, bark or brashmats. That chipper was under £80K brand new and came WITH a 270hp cummins engine, and would out perform a 400hp jenz costing 3 times as much.

 

ED, can you get the dynamic in 3 point linkage version?

[Mr Ed]

yes, either rear feed or side feed like a hiezo / jenz etc

[A_lopa]

2090 bandit would be much better at under half the cost,with a cummins you could chip to 420hp

I'm not a huge fan of the Hiezohack, but AHS were offered the blue Hiezo chippertruck at the APF for just over £200K complete. I think that was way better than the jenz performance wise, and in a different galaxy on price.

 

They were actually offered if at £290K and at the time the pound was some what stronger, so it would have been rather more now, also that was NOT a new machine.

Really.

I saw the written quotation on that machine.

I can only tell you what the dealer who offered AHS the machine said the price was.
