Need advice on this chipper asap!

[Mr_D]

All I want to know really is, at that price is it a good purchase for a first chipper

 

 

 

 

SECOND HAND JENSEN A528 Wood Chipper - Ride-on Mowers Find Ride On Mowers Sell Off Specials (And 2nd Hand) Buy UK

Didnt give it a proper look, but looks to have been tarted up, its the older model before the 530.

 

As for price, I THINK, it will be a bit dear, wait for others to comment. I missed a tracked version last year for 7k before i bought my a530t and that one was clean as a clean thing!

its a bit dear you can get a lot better chipper for the money if you shop around try Alan at mason wood chippers Masons Woodchippers

Can't comment on that model of jensen, but search arbtalk for opinions on the company selling it... I wouldn't give them my business.

Seams a lot I presume it will be an 90s machine but can t exactly remember when the stopped the 528 also no details of the hrs it's done. It may be worth putting a cheeky offer as its probably a great machine but not worth 7k as people have said there's newer Mach e out there for that sort of money. Check out arborcut s website also.

Appreciate the comments lads, in a bit of a rush to buy my first chipper, I lost my job last week and my mother in law has decided she wants to invest in my part time business and take it full time, got about 6k budget tho for a chipper and can't seem to find much second hand for that price, would like a 150 timberwolf really so if anyone here's of anything give me a shout 👍

Don't rush unless you've got the work lined up to make use of it?

If I was in your position I would get one on long term hire and wait till the right one came along. I found a great deal on a tracked wolf at land power machinery it saved me money hiring a machine in the long run

What licence do you have? Can you tow more than 750kg?

 

I'd buy a Kwikchip at less than half the price for the same age.
