I think the TW125 would be ideal, but wondered if there was anything else in this price bracket that I should look at? It must be sub 750kg due to registration issues here in france, as I would be purchasing in the uk.

 

Any thoughts on an alternative? Not bearcat as heard bad things.

 

Adam,

Read this:

Doit-on faire immatriculer une caravane ou une remorque ? - Service-public.fr

 

Right,

Now you've digested it think about this.

100% of U.K used chippers made before October 2012 will not conform to French regulations.

All towed vehicles OVER 500kg must carry their own number plate and thus be registered with their own (V5) carte gris.

 

Sorry.

No, not thought about going direct to the importer. I have the feeling that buying here in France will ramp the cost up tho, am I misinformed? as I would gladly eat a slice of humble pie and get one here.

 

Our Quadchip cost £1500 more in France than in the U.K but it conforms and so is legal and importantly insured.

 

Regards

Ty

I'm 20 hours in on my new GM Arb 130. No complaints at all, if it's just you & a groundy it will work at your pace all day. Looked at the TW 125 and it doesn't come close.

I'l second that, we had a demo for the GM130 ARB the other day, we were very, very impressed with it and it pulled in armfuls of oak branches like you wouldn't believe, its amazing what they,ve managed to do considering its a fairly small engine powering it- shows you how good the design is, those vertical rollers just make sense.

Ive never tried the timberwolf 125 but this GM 130 pulled brash in better than the timberwolf 150 I had. No stress kicked in a bit more - but that's to be expected with the smaller engine and it kept up with 2 of us feeding it ok.
