Shleising 440 or TW 190?

[Tree Man Tom]

If we were iminent on buying a chipper, i will be going through my trailer test, i do have a good amount of experience and was thinking about just going for the test with no instruction. Ive driven with big trailers before and got good experience with tractors and trailer which iimo are harder!

 

Tractor and trailers are much easier to reverse than when you got a narrow chipped behind your van that you cant see! lol

 

But if weight is not an issue, and money isnt an issue then get the scielsling.

If you are in the financial position to afford a schleising, then why on earth are you even considering a TW- they couldnt be further apart in terms of quality!

I have to say I have had nothing but trouble with schleisling s I ve been unlucky enough to use

I'd buy a GreenMech:sneaky2:

 

Me too Pete, i was going to say that but you beat me too it!!!!!

hmmm, im split now, a schliesing weighs a lot so i can only get a handful of chip and im overweight, id be pulling it with a navara d22 2.5tdi.

 

but with the TW and the greenmech quadchip looking a contender, although the price will be an issue, their trailed weights are attractive!

The weight of the chipper is irrelevant to your load carrying on the towing vehicle. The only thing that will affect the load carrying is the chippers nose weight

wouldnt it affect my GTW? i thought it was only around 3.5t

 

i could be getting confused here.

Had a 440 tow behind for 2 years, awful bloody thing- the clutch system works off the weight of the engine tensioning the drive belts, but on British pot holed and speed bumped roads the engine is free to bounce up and down shagging vast amounts of belts and bearing in the process- the pto version is lovely though:001_smile:
