PTO chippers

[Ty Korrigan]

Truth, I know little about them.

I've a 26hp tractor and have the occasional job 'hors piste' and would also like a reserve chipper.

I like the design and spec of the Timberwolf 6" which is fairly light at 400kg. The GM doesn't appeal with it's infeed to one side. 

Does anyone know the price of the Timberwolf? Or have any other suggestions?

Ty look at the 6" chipper available from woodland mills.......good kit and properly priced

we ran a pto 6 inch timberwolf on a 45 hp john deere and although it coped, when we stuck in bigger or really dense stuff it dragged tractor down and could clog.

 

stick same chipper on 95hp machine and doesnt matter what we feed it.

 

so worth seeing if you can get to view one working, or demo on your machine first.

If you can get a tractor to it, surely you can pull your tow behind (GM150?) to wherever you need it.

He also wants a 'reserve' chipper.

[Mick Dempsey]

Is the Timberwolf 6” (750) not about £18k new?

 

although cheaper as its PTO rather than Diesel engine it’s still going to be several Grand

I was happy with my TP130 pto for a couple of years, would be worth having a look at one if you have a dealer or used one near you. I upgraded to a TP175pto which is a much quicker beast (for sale at the moment) but would be too large for your tractor I think, needs min 40hp ish.

I should have added, one of my colleagues has a new 33hp Kubota with which to run it off.

Although, he would prefer access to a shredder as he does more grounds maintenance.

Of course, I do realise that for the price of a new pto chipper I could buy in a much larger used U.K chipper but unless post 2012 it would be problematic to register here and would require updating of the infeed and security and which is around a €1k.

I'm asking about pto because we have tractors and in the event of chipper down time, I would be spared costly hire fees of €200 per day which for an average of an hour a day chipping is painfull.

 We've still a CS100 as a back up though for alot of our work it would probably break us mentally to go back to feeding it.
