Jensen A141 woodchipper.

go for a tracked machine, very versatile, and round our way nearly everyone wants to keep the chip often in a pile right by the tree coming down oddly enough!

Haven't you got an st8? Not much increase in capacity from that, plus the forst will inevitably be much quicker.

I'd you've got an 8.5" machine the next step up would logically be 12"+

Quite right Joe, I do. 

 

Some of these bigger chippers are so cheap these days, I’m also looking to spend some money before the end of the financial year, it’s a dangerous cocktail!

Bandit 990 it is then! A bit like lorries, the the bigger units don't increase in price commensurate to capacity, if that makes sense.

I bet that Jensen was over 30 grand new!!! Make him an offer and tart it up a bit and try it out for size, if its not for you it would sell on easy once painted up.

Not everyone can suddenly accommodate an extra 3.5" like you can Joe 

 

If machine feeding it'll be worth it not to smash the först up!

I can take more that your 3.5" big boy...

Do you reckon its work mechanically feeding a chipper that size? I've watched a 990 being crane fed and even that had is limitations.

I had a PTO version of this setup for crane feeding, awesome chipper and built solid. The trailed version might be different though
