I have never found an A540 underpowered  but have only used the Kubota diesel powered one . They may be petrol now .

Alan Oldfield is saying that he has a handful of Jensen tracked units for sale at bargain prices. Not sure if they are 540 or 530 units. He also has a big, site clearance/crane fed unit for close to £60k. Some of these are new or have a handful of hours only. Alan is on 01759 372552 or 07976 825420 and they are at Stamford Bridge, by York.

My 540 was a special build with a 50hp Kubota diesel in  

 

If your buying new, just ask them for what you want

probably not going brand new, guess you dont have any stress box issues with that engine!

Mason wood chippers are good. John is really helpful. Helped me with a problem 3 years after I bought the machine from him

Forest Arborcut was where I bought my tracked Jensen. They had a lot of used Jensens at the time.
