Compact tractor & pto

[Mattgreenbelt]

Hi all

 

 

I'm going to be upgrading from a CS100 this year, it's a good enough "wee chipper " but I feel it's now time to upgrade to 6inch with roller feed.

 

The main benefit from the wee chipper is it can be wheeled to anywhere and chip in to beds or in to wheelie bins if we need to take the chip away, bad things is the vibrations (I'm still suffering from 8 hours use on friday), snedding up even the smallest of forked branches, it's slow and the blades need to be ultra sharp in order for it to draw the branches in. I could go on.

 

 

 

As I run a L200 and 16ft caged trailer a road tow isn't an option but I'm thinking of a compact tractor and PTO chipper.

 

We also do a power of grass cutting, mainly big sites where it would come in handy if we bought a deck.

 

The only drawback with the tractor is I'd need to do a double run at the end of the day to dump the chip at the yard then collect the tractor other than that is there any drawbacks of a pto chipper?

 

I was looking at a 26hp tractor and a 33hp tractor, obviously the 33hp would be better but would the 26hp do?

 

Thanks

I also see John deere are doing a deal where you buy a tractor and get a free front loader, tempting.....

I have been using a 16 hp Kubota tractor to power a 6" wood chipper without any difficulties. So 26 hp will do just fine.

Thanks for the info.

 

 

I'm not to fussy about it chipping 6inch it's really the feed rollers I need. Do you have any pics, and what model of tractor and chipper are they?

Kubota b7100 hst with wallenstein bx 42s. I will try to find a picture of the combo.

If you get a new john deere 1series the cutting deck is £1 great bit of kit.

Why not get a wheeled chipper?..

 

I'd rather lug a wheeled chipper about and come back for the logs with the trailer, than hump a ton of tractor about everytime you need to chip a bit of brash....

that was on the 3036e, but is over now. new offer is the deck on a 1026r as tom said. the all new 2r series looks good.

I heard Kubota were doing something similar on the mk5000. Tractor with loader circa £16.5k.
