Wood chipper advice

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I need your expert  opinions  and any Experianaces using them as I am after a small wood chipper. 

 

I need something that would take up to a 5 inch diameter comfortably and can be lifted into a van by two persons.

 

i don’t really want to spend thousands as I only climb twice a week. On the huge jobs I have sub contractors that help out and use their Jensen chippers.

 

any advice would be much appreiciated

 

thanks Craig

5” if it’s fresh lime epicormic or young conifer and you hold onto it.
When you start using a Wee chipper you need to change your whole approach to garden tree work, it’s not a miracle worker, it’s a gravity fed 250kg petrol chipper.
Keep as much wood as possible for logs and don’t expect 2 groundies to be busy chipping.
Most of the time I’m using a pole saw and silky for all the pruning and the customer already has agreed to keep long lengths of wood for them to process and piles of chip spread for mulch, removing chip off site with 1 is not economical although do able.
