Bizarro!

 

I had a tracked 25 hp single roller Timberwolf  back in the day.

It was crap.

Got to ask, why would you go to the expense of this on most chippers when there are enough used ones available and every supplier/manufacturer would supply a new one?

[PeteB]

Fair play for them to consider the engineering involved but it is a tad fussy trying to convert a road tow to off road. Everything has a place in the market and good look to these entrepreneurial engineers!

Same here could not see the point but what other uses could that track system be used for.

Seen that crop up on eBay when searching for used equipment. On one hand if you have a chipper sat in the yard that owes nothing and can be turned into a useful tracked unit for under 4k you think that's no *so bad*. But on the other you would just be better off selling your road tow and putting that 4k into buying a used tracked unit.

Not the same tracks, but these wheel to triangular track units be handy offroading a 2wd van

Or just buy a quad or compact tractor to take it wherever you need.

True, because you won't be taking that little TW125 anywhere near commercial railway work.

I wonder what it weighs? I use a small gravity fed chipper which uses 300kg of my payload leaving plenty for chip and wood. Wouldn't want a heavy tracked chipper but sometimes a roller feed would be good, this might just do it.
