chipper

[Gberry]

hello all, i am going to look at my first chipper today its a kwikchip 222, really can't seem to find much about them online, mostly where to find spares etc. just wondering if anyone has ever owned one can give any feedback on them and anything to look out for on reviewing it.

Cheers all.

Petrol or Diesel? Turntable? Built well but then very heavy as a result. Blades etc you can get from northern arb supplies no problem and filters/ bearings you should be able to match from local suppliers. Actual specific Kwikchip parts wont be so straight forward.

 

You may be better off with something main stream, GreenMech, TimberWolf etc. At least then you have full parts availability and wherever you are you'll have a reasonably local main dealer to swing into and get yourself going If the worst happens...

Diesel no turntable. Yeah that’s what I’m thinking can’t seem to find a parts dealer anywhere, the main thing will just be finding serviceable parts. Have you used one befor any feedback?

They are a good chipper, TS or tunnisson  rebranded I believe. Fletcher Stewart used to be dealer. Try Danequip.

We run one ( converted to tracks) as a spare which must be around 15 yr old.

its had a couple of engines (our fault), easy to work on and I think spares are readily available from Gibson’s (Nelson, Colne way I think) someone will have their contact info. 

 

Gibsons do come across as very helpful and knowledgeable, so might be useful to have a chat with them.

ok thanks all for your input, will go view it later and hope its a not another dog.
