Landforce any good?

[Dalynn]

Hi everyone looking for first chipper. Has anyone got any experience of Landforce 200 chipper? Good? Bad? or just ugly?

Ime, they're pretty poor build quality. We had one snap in half on the a frame. Then on further inspection it had done it before about 6 inches further back. Horribly balanced on the axle so it was a pig to tow compared to others. They chip Ok, but unless you're being offered an amazing deal I'd try to go for a different brand

When I worked for a company called batsons in tow law , we had landforce , had to have a lad stand on roller housing to get it to take branches in

 

Then one day it caught fire, exhaust melted diesel tank and it was no more

We only traded one & it had snapped in half also.

Id choose a main stream make that will have parts available, service back up from the supplier and something that would be worth more than its weight later on!

 

Sorry to those that have them but, avoid it if you can.

Now Ian, my recommendation would of course be GreenMech. The superior, British built machine!

Surely not!?!

 

Ian, you are a man of the world with a modicum of common sense - would you recommend a Landforce to the OP? What do you base your findings on?

 

Chip dinner week after next?
