Alpine magnum-Where'd I get one from?!

As the title says,where do you get em?new or used?

[Theocus]

special arboricultural services from worcestershire is selling one second hand. I saw it just the other day in his workshop and it looked pretty good.

[zx6rob]

ah youv seen it?the husky right?would you say its 1950(+vat) good?

[Theocus]

I wouldnt like to answer that, i dont know how much they are worth new or second hand only that he has one for sale.

DONT DO IT!

 

I love the machines but i am still going through the court trying to recover my money after buying a reconditioned one. 10 MONTHS later!

 

new they are the dogs, however u dont really know whats the history with it.

The one i got would ( after 1 return visit to the supplier ) start, howevere after it warmed up a few minutes later was wouldnt grind a single thing!

 

Obviously i cant say the same will happen to this one but its better to be warned/ aware first.

 

I know they are expensive but if u can stretch to a new one its a wise move! i miss mine cos i am always getting calls for stumps with narrow access.

 

Cheers

Jose

thanks for the advie jose,i was thinking its probably not worth the risk too.spoke to the main dealer in kent he said £3950 or thereabouts for the complete new rig.think i may have to just bite the bullet.

It would certainly be worth it if you bought one new, they pay for themselves in no time
