buying 2nd hand wood chippers

[Gary Watson]

Probably been asked a thousand times before:001_tongue:

Any advice on what to look for with second hand wood chippers? After xmas if all goes well i shall be looking for a towable one and want to spend up to 4k. At this kind of money it seems to be ones that have reached the end of their life with amenity company's. Mechanically what should i look for and are there any makes that should be avoided.

Cheers

you should be able to get something half decent for that type of budget . try alan at masons woodchippers he is a great guy and will sort you out other than that the dreaded flea bay , or even the larger contractors in your area they might have spare machine to let go . good luck

If you buy a Timberwolf etc (not sure on other makes) you can phone up Timberwolf to check the serial numbers to make sure it's not stolen...well worth doing, and their very helpful!

You will struggle to fine anything at masons for that money I would think unless it's half knackered, eBay or private second hand sales .

Put the 4k down as a deposit and get a new one with low or 0% finance ??
