Hi all it's time to strike out on my own and buy a bigger van and chipper of my own so what do you all recommend chipper and van wise, and why?

any recommendations would be welcome (and needed)

cheers in advance Marc

I run a master tipper and jo-beau m400

Has worked quit well just got a timberwolf 150

Vans a easy to get hold of

What I should have done is put more money into a chipper when I first started

 

What sort of money u looking a spending give us a better idea of what the best gear u can buy for the money u want to spend

[marc laycock]

these are some of the chippers I have been looking at buying

Jensen A530

 

timberwolf tw150 or tw190dh

 

greenmech ChipMaster 220

 

I would value your thoughts on each if you have used them all which one did you rate the best for easy to work on and how they chip.

GreenMech Arborist 130 - £12k

Transit or Iveco with sensible mileage - £8k (good ones out there from 6 depending on your location)

 

Good luck, so far I have the chipper and struggling to find a decent truck!

I think with your budget I would invest a greater amount on the chipper, i would if I was in your shoes

I am of the same opinion mate most will be going on the chipper.

I just need people to chip in(excuse the pun) with what they think about the chippers out there.

Spend £12-£15k on a chipper and the balance on a truck.
