Looking for first chipper

[Brooklandsbob]

I'm looking for my first chipper I've viewed a couple so far, but before I make my final decision I thought I'd see if anyone has any advice or knows of any for sale. I'm doing mostly domestic but have some work on large properties and some farms. I must say I really like the look of the Schliesing 200mx but can't find one in my budget which is 7k. As I'm not VAT registered I'm trying to buy privately for cash. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. I'm located in East Anglia and as I'm a senior citizen I have no weight restrictions

 

ps. got to get something this week!

TW230 great tool and the residual value should hold very well

Bit out of my price range at the moment I think

Chippendale Plant in Leeds are selling off a few from their fleet, including a Safetrac for those in need of one for rail work!

Schlieslings are pricey, you'd struggle to get a decent one at that price.

 

Google earborist, plenty of suppliers and private sales on there.

Earborist is good but plenty of dealers with the dreaded..... VAT

I been advised that Greenmech are easier to maintain that Timberwolf which is of course an important point. Has anyone got any knowledge if maintenance on other makes?

I very recently bought my first chipper as well and was sort of in the same situation as you. I done a lot of research and eventually went for a Jensen A530. After reading a lot about all the makes the German made machine just made sense in terms of availability of parts and reliability (I was also looking at the Schliesing but was also just outside my budget). Have a good look on here there's almost a thread on every topic and then just get in touch with people. I had to take the VAT hit in the end but I am really happy with the machine. Good luck.
