A diesel 230, in good nick low hours.

 

As luck would have it, I’ve been talking to someone since this thread started and I think I may have succeeded.

That’s fairly easy then. There are about to be loads of those for sale anyway (the uptick has already started), many “due to circumstances.”

Thanks, I’ve pretty much binned the idea of the petrol one.

The internet is great, all sorts of advice/opinions, sifting through them to find the truth (or the closest to it) from those who really know is the challenge.

Ahh, fair enough.

I’m already locked in on one in particular, but thanks.

Anyway thanks for the advice for and against.

I went for this one from John Mason in Darlington, only 252 hours.

I wanted a diesel and like I said to dig-dug, compromising on equipment usually ends in self recriminations.

Well to round the story off, I went back to the UK to get the diesel one.

My nephew drove it down to Sussex, so I met him there and took the chipper.

Got back home Saturday night, bit of a palaver but done now.

 

Conclusions.

The chipper is superb, a level up from the GM 150, really pleased, great fork crushing power.

The Schliesing will come out only on the really big jobs from now on.

FWIW dealing with John Mason was a pleasure, a bit more organising than the usual purchase with export certs and the like, all dealt with quickly and without fuss.

 

A very happy bunny here.

Well done Mick, John Mason is great to deal with, known him many years and a very genuine trustworthy nice guy, in fact I have bought off him from a picture alone.
