ideal budget for a chipper

[Hodge]

Stop messing about with toy chippers rob and get a decent one, you won't regret it, Timberwolf 150 or a Jensen, end of. I can't speak highly enough of Timberwolf, easy to look after and they hold their value. Remember the saying, you get what you pay for!!

I don't see any emoticons but I assume that is a joke?

Have you thought about putting the 5k down as a deposit on a new 150/190 and getting the rest on finance. Means you get a brand new machine so you know it's history. If you've got the work to justify it might be the right move.

 

Twice your budget but global recycling have a Bandit 90. You'll retire before you wear it out.

Why a joke?

You'll grab yourself a nice 935i for that money, I paid £4150 for mine 9x13" in feed 50hp, solid as you like. I've not had very few problems with it and the few i have had were easy to fix at home, bar sorting out the no stress which it didn't have when I bought it which Vermeer did same day when we brought it up and had all parts on the shelf! I won't be changing chippers any time soon. Also it was perfectly usable without the stress control as being such a beast it will chip up to around 6" without slowing at all.

Timberwolf chipper & shedder finance this may be of interest to you Rob

As you've a towing licence then it may be worth considering something bigger in the 5k bracket. The lighter machines have an artificially high price as they can be towed by all and sundry.

 

if you cN FIND ONE A SECOND HAND tp 200 IS A GOOD OPTION FOR THE ABOVE GOOD ADVICE

I am pretty sure IC trees already highlighted the right parts.

 

Mainly about Timberwolf being a a great chipper and you get what you pay for.

 

Timberwolf are at the cheaper end of the market for a reason, you do get what you pay for.

I would wait and stretch your budget. I dont know either seller, neither have I seen either machine but I would be pretty sure these will be twice the chipper a 5k Timberwolf is. Also you wont be getting greasy replacing bearing once a year.

 

The Jensen will not cost much to repaint to make it look good too.
