Has anybody used or owns a kwickchip chipper after some info about them 

[Gary Prentice]

What do you need to know?

Rebranded tunnissen/TS Industrie. A kwikchip is going to be getting on in years.

The 222 was pretty comparable to a TW190 back in the day.

Lombardini engines and they're easy to get parts for. You can get a spanking new one from Italy in 2-3 days if needs must. Pretty easy to work on, once put a brand new engine into one in a clients back garden in an afternoon. 

 

I think the company to approach for chipper parts is called Gibsons, over near Nelson or Colne. They took them on after they stopped being 'Kwik-chip' from Fletcher Stewarts. 

 

I know of a 222 that was originally a trailed machine, that was then put onto tracks several years ago  and is still in pretty regular use. Nothing wrong with them IMO

 

EDIT; Hopefully someone will confirm that Gibsons are the go-to people. I can't find their details but on the couple of occasions that I've rung them they've been exceedingly helpful.

Is this the chipper in question Gary ? came from your neck of the woods !

[Gary Prentice]

It is. How long have you had that?

 

Just a tip. Keep the feed hopper hinge well oiled, otherwise it tends to rust up.
