Thanks for your advice. Its main use would be to power a chipper that can hugely out perform our tr8 forst, have reasonable off road performance, take min two people and full tree kit to site or to a call out at a sensible road speed with out needing to send another vehicle. Power Hydraulic winch on front. I'd need a chip bin but this would be mostly be used on site. Don't intend to use it to haul chip on the road much. I'd only intend to tow 3.5t nothing bigger but would need good off road towing ability. So to answer your question, as a minimum rear link and pto, hydraulics front and rear. Enough power for chipper? I'm not honestly sure about the gears? Could you advise? Many thanks

Agg spec, ideally nothing to huge. U1200-u1600 or u1650 etc Also consider u90 - u140 That sort of thing ! Cheers

Seems to be £40k plus for a nice one from dealer or £10k for a real rough one privacy. Hoping to find something in between, any ideas? Thanks very much
-
Thanks guys, I've been in touch with the dealers, very helpful and nice Mogs. But you would need to spend £40-£50k realistically from them. Steve can you point me in direction of any Mogs for sale privately? Cheers
-
Still looking :-)

It's a 56hp eos, front steer. great for site clearance with heavy flail on linkage and timber grab on loader. Or splitter on linkage and bucket on loader around the yard. I would like a bigger hp one but they get to heavy for us to move our selves. Tractor, flail, loader and grab is around 2.3 ton. Loader is great. In my experience I've had no problems at all running a loader on front steer alpine :-)

We can just about squeeze our set up into a 16ft tri axle ifor but it's heavy to tow!
-
Will do thanks Jon :-)
-
None about?

As above we are looking for a short wheel base agg spec mog. Been in touch with the usual dealers just wondering if anything about privately. Will be looking for a chipper to suit also. Please get in touch if you have or know of a suitable mog! Cheers

I don't think u can go far wrong with a hb20, especially a narrow one. We have that and a big grinder and not had a stump we can't do yet and never had a break down. We're u not selling a hb20 recently? Or have I got that complety wrong lol
-
We've had both and now have hb20 narrow. Speed of grinding there really isn't much in it, the bandit is harder work. We use the machines hard and the predator was really worn after less than a year. My opinion if you are going to give the machine a hard life and do a lot of grinding get the hb20, if you want a grinder that can fit in the truck with a normal days kit (as well as chip/logs on way home) and grind a stump or two at end of day get the predator. Service from predator and global has been equally as good. Cheers

I did mine with srts ltd on marsh Barton, they were spot on, first time pass. Real friendly. Recommend

I thought so, I brought the m reg defender tipper off you around 7 years ago! Loved it and it was really handy truck but spent a small fortune trying to put it right all the time! Sold it on after couple years. Hope you guys doing good :-)

Hi Jose, is your company called woodchips?
-
How's that for a stump last week :-)
-
Really sorry to hear this, hop you some how get your kit back :-(
-
Sounds like a couple good grinding jobs u have their, we would happily quote, unfortunately we are 3 hours away!
-
Hi, would you mind if I asked if you have got any further with this? Thanks

To be clear we have only had a forst collected for repair once (previously redwoods collected our jensens when needed). It was a electrical fault on a tracked 8 inch. We have a st6 nearly a year old with well over 100hrs that has never missed a beat. Any new machine can have problems, no matter the make. We had a jensen that had 3 major issues (including a wheel snapping right off and a complete loom melt down) within 6 weeks of owning it. Redwoods came out every time and fixed it, it then did 3 years hassle free. Redwoods are really good people in my experience, get hold of them, make sure they really understand the issues and I can't see them not putting you right? Best of luck with it, let us know how it pans out?
-
Which sales man did you buy the machine through in the first place? Your experiences with forst and especially redwoods are the total opposite of what we have always experienced. Forst chippers have been super reliable and redwoods service perfect. The few times we have needed warrantee, we have wrang them up, they super helpful on the phone, if we can't fix it with there guidance, they drive down pick ours up, leave us a loan machine and then bring it back when it's done. One of the most reasonable company's I've ever dealt with and a real asset to our business. Like I said the exact opposit of your experiences really. Do redwoods clearly know how servere your issues really are and are refusing to put it right? I feel sure they would want to do something about it and would be gutted to read this thread! Best of luck
