used woodchippers.

[Rowan the Bruce]

Hi everyone I've just become a member, and also self employed.I've a good bit of experience a truck,saws, climbing gear etc.But, being from Cornwall and having no arb stores within a 80 miles I'm finding it difficult to locate a 2nd hand woodchipper for under 4k, Ebay is all very well but driving 300miles to Kent or wherever to find its pile of junk is not for me.

I've talked to Masons but they haven't anything for under 4.5k and told me not to bother with anything less(but they would).I'm not a big business so something small, but deisel is ideal, if anyone can help me out I'd be grateful as i've been looking for a few weeks now and hiring ain't cost effective.Thanks.

Your going to be struggling to find anything decent at that price mate.

Any DECENT diesel chipper is going to set you back at least £5k.

[Yorkshireman]

keep looking mate

you might find a gem

but as ed says you'll be lucky to get in that price rang other than it is of some age ,then you need to way up the reliability / wear & tear

I'd be very tempted to stretch myself and look to getting some finance (if books and history check out) There is little worse than buying too cheap. Send me a PM and I'll give you an idea on our finance packages.

Thanks for the advice, perhaps i'll keep hiring for six months and save some cash, 6k will get me a good chipper.Finance is not an option at the mo!cheers anyway Pete B, although I have considered Greenmech, i use an eco-arborist with a firm 3 days a week and its ok, pretty reliable, good for the cornish lanes and narrow driveways.

Keep you eyes peeled for anything mid-range and good.

i might know where there is a good cheap greenmech eco-arborist. i'll speak to the lad about it this week.

[Rowan the Bruce]
