Anyone experience with jensen A528 chipper?

Hi,

 

Ive seen this jensen 1528 turn table chipper for sale JENSEN A528 TURNTABLE CHIPPER Kubota Engine, 6.5" Cap, Hydraulic Roller Feed, Stress Control, Fast Tow Forestry and Hedging in Bedford | Farmers Trader

 

Wondered if anyone had experience with one and if they thought it would be better than a tw 150 for similar money. Its for a 2 man crew for daily use, looks a good size for tight driveways etc.

 

Cheers

Hi I have 1 but it's a 1997 it's a old dog but it starts first time every time mine doesn't have no stress but to be fair unless ur puttin over 4 inch threw it it never stops and loves conifer keep the blades sharp and feed rollers sharp it's easily better than a timberwolf

I have a 1995 Jensen 528 chipper 3cy Kubota diesel, it is an excellent well built machine. It still goes to work now ,just not quite so often.(a bit like the operator)

Cheers guys,

 

Il go have a look at them. I only have experience with Timberwolfs and bandits (those huge things from bartletts) but people say good things about jensens so hope they're right!

 

Thanks

Nice and lighter than a bandit there just better all round than timberwolfs
