How to write off a chipper

[Taupotreeman]

Sun strike, fog plus too fast for the conditions equals? Carnage.

Hell! Were you and the occupants ok?

Hope no one was hurt! Just roll chipper back on wheels and get job done!

So long as no one hurt

Rest will get sorted by insurance

Replace and move on

Opportunity to get it 110% ....

No one was hurt fortunately. All walked away. Guys did a fantastic job post incident of controlling the scene. Chipper has a bent axle, knackered brakes, drums, rims, engine mounts, hopper, winch mount. The draw bar and main chassis steel is bent at around 45 degrees. Oil is/was pouring out the air filter. No idea if the drum, bearing, clutch is ok or not. I'm absolutely gutted as it's just been back in the shop having a full service, brake rebuild and clutch replacement. On the plus side; the guys walked away only badly shaken.

Hydralada, the dealers, have a replica in stock but with 15 more HP.

That's a tribute to Bandits build quality, they might be heavy but they are strong, wounded but not dead.

 

That chipper will go again, the muck truck wont.

Apparently treequip, $35k for a new cab on the truck gets it back on the road. I was of the same opinion as you; totalled.

And I have to agree; the shunt the chipper took, the actual impact damage isn't that bad. More the damage from the roll over. Wouldn't buy anything else and we've already been in touch with the dealership about either fixing or replacing.
