Chipper engine size matter?

Recommended Posts

Ok here is my predicament. I'm looking into getting a new chipper. I want something bigger than a 6" so I'm going down the line of jensen a540, timberwolf 190, schleising 200mx etc etc Now I have noticed that Jensen often have a smaller engine than the timberwolf, but everyone seems to rate them as a better machine, so is engine size not always important. I understand the 200mx is a smaller machine than the others but many say it can keep up with them. Again it has a tiny engine in. comparison. What are your thoughts? And also what would you choose?

It's often down to the weight of the fly wheel, a heavier one will chomp through stuff much more efficiently than a light one

 

A heavier one has more momentum but takes longer to spin up to speed, a lighter unit slows down quicker but accelerates faster!
