[jimmyjnr]

hi folks

 

just joined Arb talk and hope some of you can give me some feed back on chippers, whats your views on the different chippers out there.cheers

[not for sale sorry]

well mate is all depending on what type of work you do really, do you need a tracked chipper, tow able chipper, mini chipper like shrek's wee bro (sure he will post something about it lol) and also what type of budget you have, you can pay anything from a few grand to mega grand if you get my gist

[jimmyjnr]

cheers.

 

towable chipper for tree surgery business budget up to 7k.

wot size are u lookin for?if 6inch ive herd alot of gud things about timberwolf tw150 i think it is or a big chipper you could get a nice bandit or vermeer for round that price if u look only problem is there realy heavy to tow around!

sounds like you could be interested in my timberwolf tw190 , its a little over 7k but well worth it !!

I had a timberwolf 150 dhb for four years and i have just got a tracked version of the same machine, i think they are the best, in terms of build quality and ease of maintainence and performance i would give em 10/10.

we've got 5 jensens and 1 timberwolf, the only time the timberwolf leaves the yard is when there isnt a jensen available, the boys all have the choice i dont tell them what to take. read into that what you will

 

i am not knocking the tw but its just not as good as a jensen in my opinion

You should be able to get a nice second hand 6 inch machine for 7K:thumbup1:

 

Whatever you buy make sure the engine is good. Its the most expensive bit on the chipper.

Second that, 7k will buy you a very good 6 inch chipper, Have a really good look at the engine, If your not well up on mechanics (like me ) take someone with you who is

I know of a gravley going cheap, think its a 5inch, possibly 6inch machine.

 

Looks abit tatty, but works just aswell as any of these newer chippers, about 2.5k i think.
