TRheyre a good bus simon and 170-180hp

Yup, I worked with johnny walker off here when he had his 6.5t iveco. Ample space in the chip box. Dont over look these Simon. For me i think its the way i need to go. You may need bigger but thats your call

How many cube do you get on the mog? Seen some teeny tiny boxes on them. Over rated i think. No good for me. And expensive to purchase and run

We use a grain trailer on bigger jobs but takes up some space with trailer and tractor. Then you'd still need staff insured to drive the trucks (which i do) Doesnt seem to be a lot of bang for your buck at the moment in the 3.5t market

My only issue for a bigger truck would be the bed loading height for handballing logs

HA! Exact same thing i've been thinking yesterday and today. Jobs are always getting bigger and having to tip off is time off a site i do not need! Was thinking 6-6.5t iveco. Whats the point of keeping a 3.5t vehicle aswell if you go for the above? I always class an extra vehicle as 1k a year plus repairs I have a 4x4 and could buy a tipping trailer but there aint many that have a license nor many that can back a trailer competantly You open yourself up to staff issues with the second vehicle. Bigger truck i say.

Its either the flux capacitor or there was nowhere to go to the loo on a job and an apprentice or brash dragger on their first day pee'd into the fuel tank

Beaver plant york

Forst tr8 do have a good following by the sounds of it. Wouldnt get another jensen as not enough dealers. Did you know spectrum plant are opening a depot in leeds? Get one on demo. When i was at spectrum collecting my 230 i looked at the 280 but thought they looked a big lump! Esp next to a 190. Decent sized rollers and hopper though!!

Yes. Most vehicles get recalls for safety products and all sorts. Shame said machines were not recalled. Even if bearing were sent out why should the customer whom bought a 30k inc vat chipper have to pay to have them fitted? This issue has been hovering for a while and on 2 seperate occasions on buying another chipper stopped me from buying this brand. Shame as ive alsway had good service with redwood on the jensens. A good dealer is important to me and why at some point i will be moving away from jensen machines.

Jensen a530t engine mounts/ engine position/ belt tension
swinny replied to swinny's topic in Large equipment
Right... interesting. It was just when i had flywheel bearings done the other year they said something needed sorting to do with this and cant remember what it was lol. Do the flywheel belts stretch much? Might be worth fitting new belts and re tensioning seeing if this makes much difference -
Forgot they did the new small tracked bandits... wheres the info Dean? Depth sweep and engine etc. -also weight. Then the dreadded price

Jensen a530t engine mounts/ engine position/ belt tension
swinny replied to swinny's topic in Large equipment
Anyone? Thought this might be a question treequip could answer -
Im just wondering what is there that holds the engine in place so im not missing anything on the jensen a530t... There are two legs out of the chassis and bolts that the engine pivots on... then at the other side an adjuster that drops the engine to increase belt tension. The problem i have is that when i look at the chipper from the front through the radiator grill the engine is slumped down by a good inch at the front left corner... Ive recently had the radiator re cored as the fold down grills have rubbed on thw rad core due to the engine being slumped down and things not lining up.... Anyone ever had this? P.s any spelling issues etc is down to this crappy i phone and fat fingers!!!
