wood chipper time

Posted by James Macleod on March 29, 2013 at 8:39pm

hello all

hope everyone's doing well and looking forward to a busy summer season :)

my business is now at the point where i have to think about getting a wood chipper to save on multiple runs to the tip on clearing jobs, hedges, shrubs, small trees etc.
i have been looking at the http://www.titan-pro.co.uk/Petrol-Chipper-Heavy-Duty-Beaver--Shredder--Mulcher/375/0/Product.aspx titan beaver, seems pretty good for the price.

anyone used one of these or seen them in action?
i basically want to get a new one delivered as i live in the highlands and most second hand units are mostly in south England and i just don't have the time to travel for one at the moment.

thanks james

    they are chineese made machines with Loncin engines, the Loncin being a clone of honda, many parts interchangeable, but obviously the loncin is not a touch on honda quality wise.

    Their are many sellers on ebay selling identical shredders but without a brand name.

    Your better of spending your money on a camon C50 or 80 second hand... solid machines which go on and on.

    Yes, sorry. Did'nt mean it to sound so abrupt. Good luck. I went with an Eliet Prof4 hydro feed £2K second hand.

    I bought a 2nd hand Entec Treebusta from way up north? I got it delivered to me for £85 on a 7 day delivery, which was cheaper than me fetching it.

    The Treebusta is ace! It's heavy and a bit old fashioned looking, but it will eat 3" wide branches (although I log anything over 2") and it will chip as fast as you can throw it in. It will also fit through a garden gate so you can chip on site without dragging stuff round to the front.

    I got a timberwolf TW13/75g, the smallest they do, if you dont go for this, go for a Elit as mentioned above, it'll cost you more, from £1k upwards, i paid £1900 for a near mint timberwolf, you wont regret it.

    thanks andrew, so you all really don't like the look of the titan unit ? hehe

  • David Cox March 30, 2013 at 6:42pm

    Put it this way - I can think of far more enjoyable things to spend £500 than a life size replica of a chipper.
