Massey T20, log splitter, wood chipper

[doddie82]

Hi guys, I fancy a old Massey T20, but I need to run a wood chipper and a log splitter.

 

It's only to use on my land and it's not going to be worked hard,

 

Any ideas can the T20 cope with a splitter? And will it run a wood chipper ?

Hi NEIL HOW LARGE IS the chipper and splitter thanks Jon

[doddie82]

Not got them yet, so I am wandering if the T20 will run both?

I have a MF35 3 cylinder and that ran a Arbereater 6 inch no problem, it had been used on a John Deere 855 compact, about T20 power, and that managed it

I'm running a hy crack splitter off an old TEF 20 and its great. Uses next to no fuel. Occasionally stalls the engine on a really knotty piece but not bad for a 1950s tractor.

Hi Doddie, T20s and some 35s have quite low low flow rates. 3 .or possibly 3.5 gpm which is similar to a good electric splitter. If its for your own use then speed is not really an issue otherwise a PTO splitter would be the answer.

I grew up on a farm and one of our tractors was a little diesel 20. Great machine, built well, easy to drive and lasts forever. It is good to see these old tractors used for what they were built for, you just have to size the implement to suit.

Make sure you have a working ki gas when you buy it. Starts so much easier and the tank and pump are very expensive for what they are. Good luck with it.

Hi Alex looks some nice kit there and it nice to see old tractors still running thanks Jon

Alexm, that's what I am talking about...... That would be a perfect little set up for me. What are the make and models of the chipper and splitter, and is that a T20?

 

How do they perform ?

For private use, I run a circular saw on a grey Ferguson dual fuel. Works a treat! I would imagine a splitter, either cone or blade should go okay but a hydraulic woodchopper maybe a hit much in terms of cost/benefit ratio.
