Wanted chipper BRISBANE AUSTRALIA

serialtreekiller · 30th June 2010, 08:41 PM

Hi All
I am chasing a chipper in Brisbane.
I have only $5000 to play with.
I know it's a big ask but I need something reasonable
to get off the ground.
Look forward to your responses.
Cheers

For that price you'll be lucky to get a beat up 6" POS. If you want an entry level chipper you'll have to up your budget to $15k, then your options really open up.

serialtreekiller · 1st July 2010, 08:48 AM

Yeah I know...
I don't mind rebuilding or replacing the motor
and I can certainly improve anything cosmetically, gauges etc.
I am happy to spend time and money on something reasonable.
Thanks for you reply.

Theres the search results for 'chipper', theres some not too bad looking ones there, im sure you could get a couple of those real cheap.

The bandit there is a 14" not 18" as stated,It also has no fuel cap and has water in the fuel tank and was ran until it stopped.

They still want around $20kway too much IMO for a not running machine.

serialtreekiller · 28th July 2010, 10:04 PM

hi thanks pickles auctions looks good

Garry Brockley · 28th July 2010, 10:08 PM

I have looked into that machine,had a mechanic out there.

Apocalypsse · 29th July 2010, 08:34 PM

The BC1000XL looks to be the pick of the bunch there, but I'm also now a bit biased towards the Vermeers now. The white Rivet looks shocking, the other one is a nice step up though but I'm not a fan of the Hatz engines. Looks like someone took a corner a bit too quick with that little Rayco though.

Garry Brockley · 29th July 2010, 08:34 PM

Alopa dont you have enough equipment jeez you cant buy up all the cheap chippers the rest of us need a chance

I would be looking for something with a blown engine like a 90xp and fix up on that budget.

I paid $3800 for my first chipper a chuck n duck but in hindsight should have got a loan and spent at least $10-$15k

Pfft, who needs tail lights anyway. Those lights in the Vermeers are baaaaaad, the flashing light for the emergency bar stop on our 1800XL keeps falling back into the space behind it, it just vibrates out. The lights aren't secured in properly at all.

Is there anything that doesn't rattle off a vermeer???

I second that. Paid about $5700 for a 12" Deverson Jahn, would have also been better off spending that bit more.

It did get me started though....actually i even did a hell of a lot of work off a trailer for a while, just outsourcing chipping on some of the bigger jobs

Therrin · 30th July 2010, 12:22 PM

This has nothing to do with the topic...

I just realized that my mom spent $6K (US) on a f'ing VIOLIN BOW. JUST the bow! the stick!

To think... I could have bought a chipper with no wheels, that doesn't run for that kinda money!!!

serialtreekiller · 30th July 2010, 10:04 PM

thanks lads i am humbled by your response

I've seen a lot of 150XP's floating around lately, one with a winch @ $16k. What is the weight of this unit?

Eric Frei · 4th August 2010, 09:53 AM

what the heck would you be doing with a 6" chipper out at Jimboomba where allt he trees are either hard assed wattles or giant eucs??

I know of a 12" vermeer, mid 90's 1250 model .... maybe $8k to $10K. I was thinking of buying it but it might interfere with my tree hugging plans.

serialtreekiller · 4th August 2010, 06:58 PM
