best chipper to buy for £6000approx under??

[Arborlord]

I have a 6inch petrol tw its really good im well chuffed with it i ran it side by side with the 6inch 150tw and the little petrol was faster dont care what any one says tested.

 

Its 575kgs tows very easy very easy to move with 1 man and the only thing that broke was a blade after it eat a multitool.

 

Never ever broken down i use it 5 days a week 2-4 tonn per day.

 

Service it alot greese it alot and imo the very best productivity to weight.

 

Parts are easy to get. Its cost about 6 but earned it back very quick.

 

There are better machines but apples for apples this is perfect for a small to medium firm.

 

Always keep sharp blades or it will chip like a toy. i change blades every 5 hours.

2-4 tonnes = 6-12 cubic metres a day?

 

Yor petrol bill must be horrendous!

 

Surely you mean 2-4 cubic metres a day?

jensen, jensen and did i mention jensen?? they are very well built machine, low maintenance, wont break if you look after it, jensens 530 is the competitor to the tw 150, but the jensen handles conifer a lot lot better, and we have never blocked the jensen at work, the rollers also turn a lot faster on the jensen, and it is just generally a faster, sturdier machine. hope this helps.

I got a tw125 and a tw150. If you are running a 2/3 man team the tw125 chips plenty fast enough and is a cracking machine. You would get one new for around 7k plus vat
