Brits talkin about Brit stuff

[Thor's Hammer]

Premiers (or shleising) are excellent chippers, used to be built at the kwickchipp/ts factory. premier split away, and i think they are a better quality machine...
BUT...
They are stupidly expensive for what you get - and its not a case of you get what you pay for either - its just to much cash for the amount of metal and parts.
plus, put a 10" premier (550Z i think) next to a bandit/ morbar/ woodsman 9" machine, and the premier will be gasping in its wake.
a lot of it is down to feed aperture size, and feed roller capacity. the feed roller motors on our bandit 250xp pto machine are 32cubic inch capacity. thats a third bigger than the motors on the 18" capacity 880Z premier. the rollers are 24" wide.

I agree about the jensen pulling in and chipping well, but i know the 4 year old one we had was crap because the lovely solid steel milled rollers had worn out. if they had the welded paddles, you could weld in new ones instead of having to pay £1200 pounds for new rollers.

What i dont want to do is slag off any other mfr's chippers cos' if you guys are happy with them thats great.
I've just been lucky to use a lot of different chippers over the years, and i think i can do better (and cheaper!)

P.S. - picture of my latest chipper - 630hp

thor,
that looks like an impressive bit of kit in your pic.is it on an artic??

 

[Thor's Hammer]

It was on a scania 142 rigid, but im just in the process of putting it on a volvo fl10 and relocating the crane. also putting the cab on the side of the crane aswell
Jamie - got a forwarder one aswell*. but a truck mounted one needs no lowloader and sets up in mins. Tell your boss we are quite happy to sub-contract in scotland...(see my snowy scotland pics in picture forum)
*heres a pic of its twin (brken my camera so no pics yet)

[ROLLACOSTA]

in most cases it isn't the chipper that's the problem it's the operator ,though not in the jenson's case
