Don't forget bigger trucks and you're into the joys of 'O' licensing...

Here you go... Iveco 4x4 5500kg towing a Vermeer BC230XL, good thing about the Vermeer over its competitors in the same class for me are:

Single axle which makes handballing possible

Chipper is mounted on a turntable that makes positioning very easy

Off set feed rollers that really grabs the timber

Smart feed which will not allow lardge pieces of timber to get jammed in the infead

Excellent ground clearance which matches the Iveco....nearly

Built like a tank!

Kubota bomb proof engine 62hp

Quiet compared to other chippers i have used

Intake is measured at 9" x 14" which takes unions no problem and smashes them to bits

Cheap at £97 per week

 

Bad points:

Its not Orange

Im coming to terms with the contrast though, When I had my 190 on the back it all looked a little orange-if that is possible...

Hi we have a MAN 7.5 TGL 8.180 7.5 tonner with a bandit 150 Xp 12 inch chipper this set up means I have to have hgv but it gives us great carrying capacity .the Iveco 4x4 you mention is a nice piece of kit but has very little carrying capacity for the size and cost(37k plus body) of the vehicle,you need a decent capacity for a big chipper to fill and horse power to tow it ,our truck will hold 10 cubic metres and we can fill it in 35-40 min.i hope this helps you.

 

what payload do you have with the man

Lots of people comment on the load capacity of the Iveco 4x4, I personally think being able to carry 7 cubic meters of woodchip is ample for everyday tree work. Any more capacity would mean no off road capability? Ok a LWB mog but not very practicalfor everyday domestic tree work. You mention you can fill 10 cube in 35-40 mins, you see I would be logging a lot of that up for extra income.

 

I think its the ultimate Arb vehicle!
