Advice needed: MDL Power Up's chippers

[green heart]

 

Hi,

I'm appealing to the collective Arb-talk expertise -help, pretty please ?!

 

Does anyone have any experience of the above company's new-ish small 4'' tracked chippers? 

 

I'm likely to buy one, at £6k for  occasional use/small chipper replacement unit .

However I'm concerned by the absence of any available users offering feedback (despite several requests to the manufacturer)... 

 

I understand approx a hundred units have been sold, in the last couple of years, without any issues, so far..(?)

-Many of the machines sold in the south/Somerset area, I'm told.

The five person family run Agri engineering business, seem to be well regarded. 

The machines are fabricated in their Carlisle yard, using a Chinese track Base and some Italian components too, I understand. 

Narrow access, tracked, and single feed roller only, 14hp petrol B+S. 

Apparently there was very little improvement, when trialed with a bigger 23hp engine.

 

Do any of the folk on here, know of any end users, who would comment on their machines performance ? 

 

Thanks, Nick

Ask on tree facebook. Then give it a few weeks for people to forget. Then ask if anyone has a second hand one to sell.
