help choosing a chipper

[jose]

Sorry for slow response. I really like the smaller chippers. We do a lot of London work where we push the chippers around by hand, down paths etc so light weight is important. I would love a big machine but i dont have the need really.

 

I still remember the days of having older kit and tbh i like the feeling of security ( i guess) that when i get to site 50 miles from home and i turn the key it is going to work.

 

I would rather spend some money to have a newer machine than to have break downs and lose not only earnings but also the headache of trying to reschedule work back in when i am booked up for the next 2 months.

i doubt a a530t tracked machine is in the budget

i can honestly move a jensen a530 around on my own and up most slops with a collegue pushing. steep slops are a nono for any chipper and gravel calls for some good revesing skills

Bearing in mind what you've said above, you ought to get the same again, I would.
