Rolled my chipper today!

Yeah have been on board atleast 3 times when those old vermeers rolled... Ok as long as its not engine side.

Unfortunately Shane,

 

I think you might of started a "which is the easiest chipper to roll thread"

 

I've only had problems wit the old little vermeers. Rolled one in a park about 12 years ago doing about 7mph. Forgot about the camber change.

 

My favourite was a tesco lorry clipping a vermeer on the fore court at a petrol station. Matey sprung to action holding it up and shouting at the driver. I was hopi.g to get a claim in fer a new chipper as that one was on its last legs;)

 

trees, waves and cakes!!:-)

I think I rolled the same chipper.

Ex colleague of mine rolled a TW150 pulling out of a petrol station on the way to a job buckling the chassis. I was watching from a different area of the car park, it was the slowest roll ever, not a kerb or drain cover in sight just a perfect combination of acceleration, angle and timing. Beautiful work that I'll probably never see done again. Sniff.

Ouch, easy done & I'm glad you didn't mess the chipper up too much.

we had to roll a jenson in an old firm, after a motor bike pulled out in front of us and the chipper ended up parked on top of him. both biker and chipper were a mess. not a particularly fun day!

Sorry, no time - we were in a rush to get it back on its wheels (and the squashed pensioners in the back of the tipper) before anyone important noticed.

I tipped a tw150 almost exactly the same way you tipped your GM - pulling out of a junction from a standing start and the inside wheel ran over a half buried rock. If I was doing 10mph when it hit the road I'd be amazed, but it made a real mess (I think the bill was over £2k). It is easily done with any wheeled chipper, particularly the smaller narrow ones IMO.
