Wood chipper

[woody paul]

What would you lot recon is the best chipper to get rid of conifer with little snedding, got a timberwolf 150 so most of you would say anything is better then that.

Work have a 150 and a 230. No snedding with the 230, massively better at dragging in and crushing forks.

you were asking about tow behind - but this video shows a nice setup I've not seen used in UK - a big PTO chipper (ideal conny basher) behind a trailer behind a tractor - how is the chipper powered - I mean does a PTO shaft run under the trailer and only get connected when stationary or what?

Stoke-on-Trent City Council used to run what looked like a reverse silage trailer with shaft running straight through it and a wheeled PTO chipper towed behind it.

Some tool in its day and I was poking Birch into it with a 13 tonner, no grabs or grapples, just the bucket.?

230 timberwolf or 280. Will meet most of your requirements I would of thought

Greenmech 1928 would be my choice.

Looking at videos and pictures spout looks the same size as 150 so can it block easy with more chip going though it.

Nice outfit, bit of a leap from a 6” Timberwolf though!
