Gravity feed chipper H&S regulations?

[njc110381]

Hi guys. Could anyone explain to me what the regulations are for gravity fed wood chippers please? What I would really like is a pto drum chipper to fit on the back of my Unimog. It won't be used much and only by myself, so I don't want to spend a load of money on a fancy roller fed thing.

 

I've seen quite an old machine made by Exenco that looks to fit the bill. Very simple and easy to maintain, and with a fairly decent capacity I expect. I just need to know if/how it could be brought up to current spec?

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

The spec is listed on the web site of the Safety Police! Length and height of the chute and a way of disengaging the drive I would think. Good luck with your project and post up some pictures!

Thanks Pete. I'll go and have a look. Shouldn't be too hard to kill the mog if needed. Just like the dreaded big red button on my CS100!

 

Chuck and duck - that's pretty much it. Although I've watched some videos on them and the feed is stupidly quick. They're death traps! I just want a bigger version of my CS100 - a bit slower!
