Thorne Engineers, Alan Mason, Earborist, Arbtrader to name a few.

 

Some woodchipper dealers whether they be GreenMech, Timberwolf, Jensen, Bandit etc are another source. Some have used machines in stock as well as selling new kit. If buying a used machine, please check the provenance before you hand over the wedge. I know of at least one stolen GreenMech being offered for sale right now.

 

It isn't mine by any chance? Where is it Pete (PM if you prefer)?

Don't buy off ebay the only person who knows what's wrong with the chipper is the seller, and they won't tell you, I have fallen for that a few times, but off a dealer then at least you get a warranty

Been looking for a used chipper for several months - seen some overpriced rubbish, had 5 scam listings removed from ebay, 1 from preloved. Fire on my Greenmech Chipmaster finally gave me the kick up the arse I needed and I got a rebuilt Jensen 530. Only used it for a couple of small jobs so far, but very, very impressed. Time will tell if reliability is good, but it makes the Greenmech look like a very sick puppy in comparison (even from when it was fairly new). Stuff I wouldn't even have attempted to put in the Chipmaster, the Jensen doesn't even pause with and the chip quality is consistent. Backed up with poor spares service from Greenmech - it seems that only one person there is worth talking to, and I'm very glad I bit the bullet and changed. This is only my personal opinion, and I'm sure others with far more experience than I, have different ideas and have good impressions of other machines
