Thank you all, where’s the best place to buy and tipper and chipper ? 

[Mick Dempsey]

Useful qualification.

Oh god 😂

All depends on your budget.

How much have you got?

[Mat haire]

Honestly nothing. At the moment I think I would be getting a business loan to fund things. 
I’ve been told in the past buying things on tools vans on HP is the best idea but I’m sure they’re others fay's around this.

15k will get you a useable truck/chipper combo.

Throw that at the bank and see if it sticks.

Or maybe make some contacts with other local small tree companies, work as a subcontractor and work yourself up the ladder.

 

No point spending 7k or so on a used chipper without knowing you've the work or other equipment to warrant the expense.

Privately through eBay, earborist, Facebook marketplace etc. Depending on budget 

If you’ve a better budget there are dealers who sell top quality used machines.
