It would be interesting to do a comparison.

 

I think I paid 11000 plus vat in 2003 for a 150.

 

(Maybe I'm just a bit richer now, or less poor anyway!)

 

 

Ha yeah I remember the number because I was probably 16-17 at the time on £30 a day for dragging and £10k sounded like £100,000 to me!

Found an inflation calculator and looks like prices have dropped slightly as think the 230 is £14,500 plus vat?

If you want to try lifting it in be my guest but bet your hopper snaps off before you get anything near the rolers for it to try 😈

I got my first chipper in the early 1990's and that was £10,500 plus vat. 6", twin rollers, diesel, without No Stress device and a free set of blades. Back in them days, fuel was still sold by the gallon!

It always gets me how manufacturers can charge so much more for a tracked machine! I know it's gonna be more but sometimes the difference is ridiculous!!

We've discussed this before, with a tracked machine you're effectively buying two machines, the chipper and the tracking unit with all that involves.
