second hand chippers?

[chaffey]

I was going to start another thread but this will do. I am also in the market for a used chipper towable 6" chipper I am looking to spend £3-5k, is this enough? I know in this price range they are getting on a bit, willa chipper for this sort of price be likely to break down alot what sort of parts start to fail? i have only used chippers as a subbie climber briefly at the end of a day, so don't have much experience or knowledge of what happens to them when they get old or what to watch out for so any info would be greatly appreciated.

 

I bought a 98 Entec chippit (Timberwolf 150 to all intents and purposes) for £1500 second hand from a local guy that was closing his business down. Knowing this guy and his groundies they abused everything, but the only problem that i have had is with the anti-stress unit which would cost about £330 to replace. Got a computer buddy of mine to have a look as it is only a cuircit board and he fixed it for about £40. Good luck with £3-5k you should do ok:thumbup:
