Jensen A530L 35HPDI

Hi can someone help me on whether the Jensen A530L 35HP DI is as good as the old A528 chipper?

Having owned a A530L from new I would say that it’s the machine that lets the Jensen name down. In 200 hours mine had a cracked chassis, cracked infeed hopper, went through ignition barrels, no stress sensor and a throttle cable.

Hi were you using it hard and has it been good since then?

We were a Jensen sub dealer from 2015 - 2017. This was our own demo unit which would also go out on hire to local customers we knew. We sold it in 2017 when we became a main GreenMech dealership.

 

540 upwards are good, robust products. Expensive chippers though. Manufacture built, exchange rate, imported by TH White, sold to a network of dealers and then sold to end users means too many hands touch the product.. 

We struggled to sell any as our net dealer buying price was higher than GreenMech & TimberWolf's retailing price to end users.
