Personally, I'm agin our dealership folks putting anything other than list price on webpages. The whole idea of having dealerships is so that people have the comfort of buying locally, starting a relationship with the supplier that can have other benefits going forward. The list price can be discounted by an amount by the chap who may have to look after it (and you) and a deal done. If a webpage just says £X then there is little left to talk about! If you care to pm me, with your location, I'll have a local sales chap give you a valid quote and talk to you about your needs rather than a "buy it now"

List price would be a start, didn't see a single price when I was looking.

In my experience when companies don't want to disclose their prices publicly it's because they know they are asking too much and need to accompany the price tag with a sales spiel. Just imho.

List price for a 6” tractor mounted unit is some way under £8g plus vat! Sorry, wine has befuddled my mind tonight, exact list will be put up some time later. Okay?

Thanks guys for all the comments it's very interesting and I am liking the idea of the branch logger, especially as Wellmac are only an hour up the road.

Does anyone know anything about Kellfri? They appear to have a decent looking chipper at around the same sort of price as woodland mills.

Masons have a trailer 6 inch sheisling pto chipper with only 50 hours done.

more money but top quality and less stress on a small tractor

Having bought and sold several PTO chippers over the years, both from ebay.

 

The usual common sense rules apply, if you buy new go directly to a dealer.

If its second hand buy something made by the main players and not a generic re-branded chinesium or these horrible models without any form of power feed or let alone safety features!.

 

My first was a ancient Laimet, and the second a TP150 which I've rebuilt.

 

Both inevitably needed repair works including bearings, but a PTO chipper has so few moving parts they are an absolute walk in the park to repair providing you know your way with a spanner.

 

I would however recommend using a tractor with 1000rpm instead of 540rpm machines as they have gearboxes which just adds to the complexity.

 

And also ensure they are only run ever used with a PTO shaft that has both shear pin and overrunning clutch. Saves your tractor PTO from damage!.

 

There's a Green Mech on ebay for £5k or best offer, but its in Somerset.
