im after a decenct 6" chipper to hire for a month, im in east midlands, any ideas? Ed

im still looking!

what would you do? i had an electrical problem on my chipper so i thought i would take it to a professinal chipper place as apossed to an ag fitter, this would cost twice as much per hour for labour but hopfully because of there knowledge they should complete the problem solving and part sourcing in half the time ( or so i thought) I phoned up greenmech uk and they told me to take it to there local dealer (mr x) to cut a long story short i said fix the electrical fault, replace thorrotle cable and replace the exhaust and let me know what else needs sorting and the cost so i could give the go ahead. after alot of chasing from me and a couple of calls saying you could do with this and that i was expecting a call back after they had the part numbers and cost but no. 4 weeks after i dropped of the chipper i phoned them again to ask where my chipper was and they said it was ready. The bill was £1600 + i should have complained more about the bits installed without first giving a price but to be honest i needed my macine back so i thought if it runs A1 then so be it. i was also hiring a machine for £100 a day! Ran the chipper for 2 hours yesterday and its WORSE than before 1, Electrical problem still there 2, Engine wont switch off 3, diesel leak 4, top roller not not installed central so gets jammed easily after talks on the phone he was very negative after me getting my views across he eventually agreed to pick it up on thursday (will have to hire again) what to do now??? i want to give greenmech the oppertunity to sort this out but i don t trust the dealer at all. If i have to i will go to trading standards and get legal advise regarding my loss of earnings and to recoup hire charges what would you do?

The Toyota Dyno, anyone on here got one and is it any good for small jobs? Ed

how many hp does the tractor need to be for a processor? ed

Hi, im after someone to help move brash, feed a chipper and deliver logs with some felling if you have the correct tickets. there will be 2 months work (which could lead to more). if you are near lLncoln and can drive your self to and from my yard between, Lincoln and Newark, give me a private message. Ed

Ive already got a trailed 6" chipper and 4x4 tipper but im thinking of getting a 25hp compact iseki tractor and a 6" pto driven chipper, i know that it wont take 6" happily but it should take 4", i log anything over that anyway. i would run a flail mower and from time to time and rotovator in the summer as well so i could fit in well. i would want a demo before i buy but what do you guys think? ive been offered it at a really good price. Ed

the shredder is great for brambles/ ivy and other difficult stuff as the inlet is so big, it does make the chipper top heavy though and unstable on slopes Ed

yeah ive actually got disco wheels on her at the mo as i got a set of new grippers and rims for £100, still got the old wheels though. Ed

130 tipper is great at most things where as most other vehicles are brilliant at some and rubbish at others. hope that helps ( i have a 130 for sale at the mo see other thread) Ed

found these photos, as you can see she needs a clean and i forgot to say she has a roof rack/work platform thses photos are without the detachable weldmesh sides. Ed

cheers guys Ed

hi guys, ive been looking at this site for a few weeks now, some great info. i am thinking of selling my landy (want new chipper) its a 130 tipper, p reg 100 k miles which as you know isnt a great deal on one of these. It was prevoiusly owned by a utillity company and i had it converted with an aliminium tipper.300tdi engine, its had the gear box reconditiond last year so its as should be. it has flashing beacon, superwinch on the front and weldmesh detachable high sides on the rear. im working out what its worth at the moment so ill be interested to hear what you think. i will try and sort out some photos but i think there are some on my web site, Fullers Forestry provide Forestry, Landscaping & Garden Maintenance in Lincoln, Newark and surrounding areas Cheers Ed
