Schliesing 485ex any info out there?

[Mick Dempsey]

Alright ladies, Arbtalk’s resident tyre kicker here, with another request.

 

I have the hots for this beauty, 800 odd hours, on a turntable, 75 horses, I know the shitslingers have a good réputation.

 

I think I’m going to see it Wednesday (6hrs away) 

 

Can’t find too much feedback or vids on the net.

 

Bit of a rarity so unlikely there’s too many of you have one, but here’s hoping.

 

TIA.

What a dream machine, a video on youtube of the 480EX described it as 'a groundsmans dream' the new price of that would take some graft to clear, looks like Germanys' answer to a Bandit 90.

We let’s hope so! I cancelled the trip for various reasons, but it’s mine subject to the inspection, bank oked it, he has sent the pro forma..

 

Of course as always happens when you commit to buying something expensive, the phone has gone silent!

There a great machine mick I have used one allot the feed trays are quite hi off the ground are planning on feeding with loader

[Mick Dempsey]

Not as a general rule, tray height is something a lot of people forget about, I will certainly look at that.

Proper chipper that one. Built for real men.

Well, I don’t know if that’s right, but I’m sure my wife will be looking for some improvement when she hears that!

 

Anyway bought it..

Looks small for 75 horses,
What does it weigh?
How big will it chip?
The le Bon coin link is dead.

What was wrong with your Forst Mick? Or just time to change.

Bellting chippers!!

 

You will not be disappointed!!

 

I think that will be pretty much the Towable version of the one I've got on the front of my Mog, mines a u400.

 

They are by far the best chippers I've ever used, I don't really know why they are so good, but they just are. Before my Schliesing  I had a Ducker (basically a TP) on the front of my Mog, it was a good chipper. But when I bought the Schliesing I could not believe how much better it was.
