Wood chipper

[Stefan Palokangas]

Hello

 

I'm getting a wood chipper second hand.

 

I'm between a Jensen and Bandit. Any thoughts on what I should go for?

Around the 1k hours... I don't know which one of them is best second hand...

 

Thanks

Used a 12 inch bandit today. Awesome machine.

Can't comment on jensens as never used one.

it would be good if your tracked grinder could have a tow hitch on and help move it about, maybe it's not a big enough grinder for that

I've spent a while browsing the various options - a Greenmech safetrack is a nice chipper - or the wheeled version 19-28, seems a bit beefier than a Jenson 540

 

Although if you got a tracked machine on a trailer towing behind a transit you can soon get up to the towing allowance, safetrack probably pushing the limit, Jensen about 400kg lighter.

A bandit 90 is around 2ton too I believe.

I'm looking for a light chipper. The 750 kg model.... For 5k to 8k something that price

I won't chip very big bits, most to be used for logs so a small machine will fit my needs

Big Bandits are great, if you want something light I'd suggest looking elsewhere. Their smaller stuff isn't as good as the competition (I doubt they do anything that weighs less than 750kg to be honest).

I bought a Jensen for the same money as your budget. It's been a little gem so I would recommend one

Same as that. Got a 750kg 6 inch Jensen for 6k. Will fill a transit in 20-30 mins
