biomass chipper

[Busy Daddy]

I am looking at replacing my hm 5-400 heizohack with a bigger pto chipper .

It is used only for biomass chipping , i run a 200 hp tractor

Has anybody any experience of heizohack - jenz - or mus-max

It is a big comitment and i want to get the right one , i have had no problems with the heizohack

Stick with the Heizo IMO, the others maybe slightly better made but at a much higher price.

 

I think the heizo is the best value, and you know it already as you have used it.

 

How long have you had it ? Why do you need a bigger one?

[Busy Daddy]

I have had it for about 4 years

I am getting too old to hand feed and the 5-400 isnt the best for crane feeding

I have been looking at the 8-400 which is a lot easier to crane feed and a

40% grant also helps

[woodmad]

Hand feeding !? I think ours was a 5 400 and we crane fed it, but the bigger opening will be easier for sure. Have you seen the extra ram AC Price do for pushing the top roller down? Makes a massive difference when crane feeding..

 

Grant sounds good

 

Down to prices as well, since the exchange rate has gone tits they are creeping up. Where is the one you have seen ?

[Busy Daddy]

Yes hand feed sometimes , i hire the local estate a big log splitter they reduce a lot of big waste timber down

I have seen the top ram Alex does but i like the bottom infeed roller better one that can slide in and out so it would still be legalto handfeed and would help with crane feeding

and a 40% grant also helps

 

i thought the 40% EU grant had ended

[arbwork]

yes stick with hiezohack,+ alex supply

[Busy Daddy]

There are several grant systems all seem to be 40% and all full of paperwor

Alex is the man

I want to get the power / output right and fuel consumption any ideas?

[woodmad]

what are you powering and feeding it with ?

[Busy Daddy]

Powered by a mf 8160 200 at the pto but can go to around 250 if i need to or a new tractor if i need more

It has a botex on the rear which i might transfere on to new chipper , or possibly get a 2.5 tonne mini digger to feed it

I will go for a new hm 8-400
