Chipper graveyard?

[Gerbutt]

With all the chippers you see around these days, it got me wondering what happens to all the old ones? There must be some each year that are written off by insurance companies, crashed, caught fire and whatnot!

 

Is there somewhere where these machines are sitting with loads of good parts on that could be recycled? Do folk have old machines wasting away in their yards?

 

If you know of any old, broken machines, maybe they could be listed here and the spares sold?

 

I'll start with something I'd like if anyone has one kicking around, the spout adjuster on a tw150, for taking it on and off. Mine has no handle so have to use a pipe wrench!

You mean like this one that went for a little roll down the road with less then a hundred hours on the clock sat in lister wilder's yard at reading

[Gerbutt]

Yeah, what a waste!

[Johny Walker]

How did that happen??

[Lillywhite]

How did that happen??

 

I'll ask next time I'm in there but it does have a nice bit of road rash down one side. It's been there for months

Do u no if they gona scrap it or keep it ?

CoPart some times list them under fire damaged or their sub frames get twisted by prangs and they are listed under something else. Worth a look on there for all sorts of plant if you want a project or spares
