i went to saltex met lots of people some tall some short some bald some hairy but none that looked like a 400lb gorrilla though met a man who said he was buying one of these 8" chippers in jan for his company, have you just bought a rayco 13 ?
if that was you then yes we met
if its you i think you made a decent choice as i said i work with this machine and have ordered another all i know is when it works it works very well and on the one occasion that i had a problem i rang the company and 2 hours later there was a fitter working on it. thats whats important to me, my customer was kept happy, my lads and i weren`t stopped, the job got done and the money s in the bank
wont say they are better or worse than the others havent worked with them all thats for you to decide

the guy you met said he was going to buy a 9 1/3 inch chipper , and he had also just bought a rg 13
so iain how do you like this website ?? my mate blue [as you have already probably read] he's the one with a landforce chipper..iain them landforce chippers look good value for the money though i must say the finishing could be a bit better no offence id like to see more of them wires and hoses under cover

yep that s the guy
sorry got the model wrong
i agree the finish on paint work was not the usual standard but in fairness those machines were originally green and they were sprayed
new builds are better quality
as for the pipes well all comments that the users make are listened too, im not saying that they do anything about it but they do listen call 01476 515400 talk to them, speak your mind !
i like this site thanks for the info
well i`ve got a lombardy to dismantle tomorrow if the winds dont do it for me so im off to drown im my beer !!

rolla,
forgot i even posted on this thread.
as far as reliability goes on lanforcrce chippers goes they aint to bad but the electrics do leave alot to be desired on our machine.basically they used cheapo wire on the wiring which led us to have major headaches with the safty button circuit.some times it would turnover but not fire into life,to complicated to talk about on here but basically we had it compltley re-wired.
only other thing major happened last week when the key way on bootom roller collapsed leaving no drive to it.this ment a new roller at £300.not good but they supplied one for free even though out of warrenty.
there spare's back up is better than most if you get on thier case.for more info pm me

What's the most stable chipper?
Question for the UK readers: which chipper available in the UK is least likely to tip over? I'm looking for a second hand one now, but I'll need to tow it off road. Most of the stuff I'll be chipping will be hawthorn brash after hedgelaying. Typically, I'd have to tow it along field edges and other uneven ground, but I'd need it to be fairly stable. I've ruled out a tracked chipper (too expensive - cheaper to hire in one or a tractor/chipper for the few times I really really need one) and a tractor/chipper (too slow between sites, plus I'd have to find a place to keep it). I like the idea of a Timberwolf (the 35 hp diesel) because it's light, but I've heard that they're more prone to tipping - a mate reckons a Greenmech is a better bet.

just look for chippers with a wide wheelbase and a low centre of gravity IMO
