Built to customers spec for assesment. The BV that is not the chipper. Customer has plenty of those already.

The customer spec'ed a 7 inch chipper on something that will carry nearly 3 tonnes? hmmmmnnnn.... seems a little kind of overkill

why put £20 -£30k worth of chipper on the back if its not required. With this project it was more about access and transport. The weight was also an issue because the customer has limitations on ground pressure.

Rolla agree with you on the stumper but don't go near that chipper. Electric drive / clutch aaagghhhhhh!!!! My machine lasted 6 months. In fact Iwould buy another Jensen rather than one of them, and you know how much i like that thing. If it stops with as much as a twig in the rollers the sensors won't let you restart engine. You have to strip the lot down, engine covers, springs, jack up the rollers etc. NIGHTMARE!! Oh yeah and the little clip screws that hold the covers on. £15 each and you break them every other time you move them. When it was 6 weeks old rotor bearings broke and took out rotor and fan sections. B-Trac told me it was because blades were sharpened at the wrong angle. They took blades away and i never did get them back. W*****S. cost me £3000 quid that day. Been trying ever since to get money back but without blades don't stand a chance.

The 2005 Sherrill catalog is available from B-trac VERMEER UK...they are sherrill dealers [unfortunately no price list]
