TP Road Tow Chipper - Any Good...?

[chrisgilltreesurgery]

I know a few of you use PTO TP Chippers and say they are great machines but my question is are the road tow versions just as good...?

[mad matty]

yep got a 150 its a great chipper so far after almost seven years, just the paint is a bit naff

Ive been looking at the turn table 200, looks good

 

Also just had a look at the Vermeer 230xl - wowzas!

I've got a tp200 (non turn table). I think it awesome easy to maintain, simple chips fast. But it is heavy, so hand balling it on site it an epic. Its built to survive WW3 but when it does go I would like the turntable version- even though its heavier.

 

Oh did I say it's heavy

What weight is it....?

Iv used the 150, ok chipper but gives me backache as the feed chute is too low.

 

Also used the 200 on a turntable with a hatz engine, good simple chipper, chews through the brash ok. From memory weighs just under 2 tonne. ( nothing your Iveco can't cope with!)

I'm guessing you want as big a chipper as you can get below 2.75 tonne?...

1350kg straight or 1550kg turntable - Atkinson Vos Ltd TP Woodchippers

 

Have used the 150 many times over the years and always liked them. When funds permit i'll be looking for the 200 turntable.

 

Regards,

What price is a TP200 turn table?

 

List is either £24k or £26k, spoke to a dealer a few months ago and he reckoned he could get somewhere near £20/21k.
