Jensen Chippers, views please

Hi, sorry for jumping in, but what are your thoughts on theA530di?

 

I am considering one as my first chipper, so reliability and running cost are critical (not worried about wieght). I really like the sound of the Tps but this has come up.

 

Thanks in advance.

Thought I'd let people know what I found out today especially for you new type license drivers.

We were working in a recycling depot and had a Jensen 750kg contractor tow along with us. Just out of interest we thought we would see how much it weighed so we pushed it onto the weighbridge and I was surprised to see 820kg flash up on the display !

I asked the guy how accurate it was and he said within 20kg's. Slightly worrying when you think your buying a sub 750kg machine ?

Bit like bikes . I expect that's dry weight , no fluids .

Any body know what’s the difference between a Jensen 340 and 328 ?
