jensen forst chipper

[Dan Earp]

Just heard that were demoing one in a month or so, and that the smaller jensons weren't doing aswell plus the parts etc were hard get to hold of. So theyve jenson has bought out these two. Also heard that these two models are the only ones to be bought out.

But as said this is just all hear say.

But will update once weve had our hands on it

had a demo of one today very good chipper only used to a tw190 but compared really well

If it's cheaper to buy it's because it will be made cheaper with cheaper parts.

 

For those reasons I will never buy one.

Will let you know next tues bud. Any questions pass them on and ill ask the rep when he drops it off

I'm liking the look of the tr6!!

[Paul Smith]

Some nice features, I like the central grease points. I would like to see one in comparison to the 530.

Hi paul, im currently using one today and will write up a brief on some findings however the question you asked is the rep told us its in the same line as the 530.

In short (like me) the forst is a beast lol

Quick reply I'll be interested in your opinions on said machine as I had demo of tracked machine 22/3/13 and thought it a good unit

[Dan Earp]

So jenson wouldnt lower the cost of there smaller unit aka 530 etc. so this company asked jenson if they could make there own. They agreed and have had some say in parts used.

 

Now the first thing you'll notice is the quality finish having the whole chipper powder coated. With each fold in the metal its been backed up with decent welds. The side buttons are from the tube trains and work great with a nice safety feature, being that if the bumper bar or stop button is pressed, they you tap the go button again it always goes into reserve.

Its weights at 950kgs and have added a small bar at the towing eye so the bonnet doesn't get smashed if its been jack knifed whilst reversing. But doesn't affect the drive/drag. Feeds time is impressive and we threw in large pieces with almost 90 degree angles in it and it just asked for more. The box is measured at 8x6.

The only thing we could really point out for a lil change would be the hopper size

 

(Larger) possibly but then again it didn't strain on the narly pieces we tried or whole branches.

Im sure theres more and will post again but overall its a fantastic machine and we've ordered one.

O it comes with 3 yr warranty etc and the grease points in one places is handy

Im sure PeteB will enlighten us with what he thinks compared to the greenMec.
