Bellting chippers!!

 

You will not be disappointed!!

 

I think that will be pretty much the Towable version of the one I've got on my Mog, mines a u400.

 

They are by far the best chippers I've ever used, I don't really know why they are so good, but the are. Before my Schliesing  I had a Ducker (basically a TP) on the front of my Mog, it was a good chipper. But when I bought the Schliesing I  could not believe how much better it was.

I know Dave, your eulogising of them was a factor in getting one.

Looks small for 75 horses,
What does it weigh?
How big will it chip?
The le Bon coin link is dead.

The engine alongside the cutting disc makes it compact, needed for the turntable.

2150kg, adjustable height tow hitch so not too bad towing (600 km yesterday to bring it home)

23cm capacité stated, but like most chippers these days the letter box opening means better crushing of forks.

What was wrong with your Forst Mick? Or just time to change.

Hmmm, good question, time for a change I reckon, Först up for sale now

I reckon this will be your last chipper Mick, they are so well built, they last for years. 

 

Mines a 2001, I've owned it for 15 years, I reckon it will see me out.

[Mick Dempsey]

That the plan anyway, last chipper, might as well make good one!

Serious chipper[emoji3][emoji106]
Does it have a winch to feed?
What did you pay in the end?

[Mick Dempsey]

No winch, not big enough, I’ll use the loader and grapple where I

 can.

 

Price? Can’t remember...

Interesting mick, let us know your thoughts on it, more pics wouldn't go amis either.

 

Is the infeed 24cm square? 

 

Ive only used the smaller ones, as Huck says, difficult to explain but great chippers!

[Mick Dempsey]

First day on Tuesday, I’ll get a vid and give my impressions.

Nice chipper mate.  We used one when I was contracting for a company in Oslo.  

 

Great chippers, very little shedding of certain species.
