Wow cracks appearing after so little use is a bit worrying.
-
Mine hasn't and i have never bent one!
-
How do you know? Have you owned one for any length of time? And i don't mean a knackered old entec!
-
I agree also but it's down to what does the job and money,if said machine cost 500 quid more because it had a better axel people would winge as it cost more than the next machine, they all have to be competitive at the end of the day.

I don't dig I grind. I never dig stumps out.

I heard a hire firm in Scotland sent more than one back as they were shaking themselves to bits! Not sure if it's true.
-
There we have it from a manufacturer, am not sure where people are getting the copy thing from? It is not a copy,yes there are design ques taken from jensen and the same engine but the infeed,rollers and quite a bit more is totally different.
-
Do you not find it hard to find drivers that can tow or drive above 3.5t?
-
Nice paul are they 3.5t iveco? Do you get the chip boxes done locally or make em yourself?
-
Good job there paul! Are all premiers truck yellow and how's the forst going?

Best way to calculate how bags of firewood you have.

The best way I have found is to errrrr count them:thumbup: all mine are already split into 1m3 bags. -
I don't think it really matters on make,chipper axels are pretty much loaded to the max all the time so a smack off a pot hole will do some damage,I would always opt for a hd axel if it was available, I do agree with the comet above about owners driving and slowing down,I see some chippers almost bouncing down the road.
-
No problem with mine but I would say it's down to pot holes not speed humps,pot holes do an awful lot of damage.
-
Good old skool saw,I had a perfectly good example until I ran it over with a tracked jensen chipper,didn't seem to work properly after that!

Mmmmm free conifer logs !

Never had a tranny mark but also run a relay. Here goes. Pros Strong chassis Strong 3lt engine Good engine access with tilt cab Pull well with low gearing Built as a 5t but down plated for UK. Amazing turning circle Looks like a truck not a van Can tow 3.5t Cons Rough ride compared to a van Low geared so not fast Bit thirsty Parts are expensive but parts are generally much bigger than a van Bouncy when empty Seats and plastic are a bit naf Basic compared to a van Notch gearbox that is layed out different to anything else Agricultural compared to a van
-
I run a 2008 nkr with 55k on the clock,bloody good truck and easy to work on with the tilt cab, been v reliable and isuzu engines are strong,ride quality is crap compared to a van but turning circle is amazing,as a working truck there bloody good.

Please fit it in Steve, I can bring the wife as a target. -
Mr quip has it nailed!
-
Sorry to hear that but it might be better to take the tools out of your truck in future!
-
It looks a tidy machin for its age but it's done more than 500 hrs either that or its had a hard 500 hrs!
-
I can't see that being genuine, 500 hrs on a 10yr old machine???? 50 hrs a year nah.
-
Or fit a new one!
