i dont have tons of experience with different chippers but the tracked jensens at work seem to do the job well without too many break downs. have you considered a tracked machine? i think they are the best thing ever... no more draggin.

I have and have used them quite a bit. My only concern is there's more to go wrong but it's not crossed off the list

Suggestions appreciated...

 

I am looking for a secondhand chipper that won't break the bank to chip about 100t softwood a year for my own boiler.

 

PTO driven up to 170/180hp, up to 12" logs

 

Any ideas please?

The economics of that just don't add up, you could get 100ton a year chipped by a contractor way cheaper than you could buy a chipper that size. You'd have to keep the chipper 20 years to make it pay.

I fully understand the economics Tom D, but being pretty remote here means there is always a cost and hassle factor getting things done, sometimes it's as well to have the flexibility to do it yourself.

 

I think Grey git is on my train of thought, I'm pretty sure it's a bigger and older version of your suggestion my current contractor has but difficult to tell as the decals are all rubbed off.

 

Am I right in thinking the 170 is 17cm max diameter?

Are you buying in timber or are you chipping/burning arb waste?
