What Chipper?

[Jonny69]

Ok I'll correct that. The mini chipper will comfortably fill your trailer once a day, more if your a masochist.

True, I think I have a few years of youth left before days like that are no longer an option!

Thanks Guys for your replies, I think it has helped me assess what my set up works with which is probably a decent gravity fed on my trailer for now, Cheers Ian

Like what has been said above it maybe better in the long run to think about a bigger chipper i had the Forst tow behind out on demo Monday and its a good bit of kit really well put together and some really smart design ideas

thought about a used 6" tracked machine? carry it on trailer do loads more than your gravity and advertise it as another service(tracked access brings in a good amount of work)

Hi Guys, We are a small Garden and Tree firm who are doing more and more Arb work. It will probably never be on a large scale but I am seriously thinking about buying a Chipper. I have a couple of jobs that I will have to hire one for which is eating nearly all the profit margin. I have a Ford Ranger doublecab with which I tow a TT85. So..... do I buy a tow behind, two journeys and tip into trailer? Or put greedy boards and chip into pick up? Or do what my budget is more suited and buy a good gravity fed and bung it into trailer or back of pick up? Is there such think as a "good" gravity fed? Green Mech CS-100 OR Jo Beau MS400 -500. We are a 2 man team , things are tight, but I don't want to end up buying a white elephant! Have read all the forums and are still not sure... Any experience or advice would be really appreciated.

 

If hiring in a chipper why not just add the hire cost on if eating into profit? If you buy one you will have to cover buying it into your jobs cost anyway.

There seem to be some good credit deals advertised on here, like Timber wolf for £54 a week. Must be cheaper than hiring one, and you get to keep it at the end of the day.

I dont normally like to get anything on the never never, but with chippers being so expensive, even second hand, it seems like a plot.

 

If there were deals like that here, I would consider it, as we pay 188 euros a day for a bandit 6" from our local hire company, and thats the only decent chipper to hire for miles.
