Tracked Chipper Comparison.

are chipper manufacturers not moving more towards big hp diesels but with dpf filters etc to combat the emission regs??

we have an 8" jensen at work with a new low hp output diesel engine and the antistress comes on a lot, still a nice machine though.

Forst do one, my mates have tried it and said it's ok but he said there was so much electronic gadgetry on it when it stopped working they couldn't suss it out..they had to re boot, it then worked again for a bit. They were not impressed. They tried the 230 p and the 230 and liked the diesel better.

The problem with above 26hp is that you are then into DPF, which seems to give problems on all new machines! Big cost jump too- something like 5k extra just for the engine. 
 

Load of shit. Rather than having a 35hp engine running for ten minutes, let’s have a 26hp engine running for twenty! Cos it’s greener 🙄
