Knapheide Chip Body Question

[dmd]

I got a quote from knapheide for an 11 foot chip body with L pack, hoist and hitch for $18900 installed. Can anybody give me an idea of how good a price that is?

Doesn't sound very good to me but I never have bought a new chip body

Call Southco in North Carolina. Even if it's too far to travel at least you can get a ball park #. They build the Davey and Asplundh bodies and toolboxes

I paid 14k for a 12 foot chip body, tool boxes, and hoist installed by Schodorf in Ohio. It's held up great and there is no rust.

It was installed 5 years ago.

11ft you will be running to dump often. The tool boxes built in take away chip capacity. We run 11ft southco in our forestry buckets and use it as a last resort to chip into when our chip trucks are full. It gets filled very fast.

You can get an all aluminum body for that price.
