Any experience of a Junkkari chipper?

[Mrblue5000]

I've come across a manual feed junkkari chipper for sale locally, I did a search, posts are a few years old, and some people say they're junk, others like them, but just wanted a few opinions from any members here that have used them.

 

It's capable of taking a 6'' log, is pto driven and specs when I looked it up, is capable of chipping 4-8 cubic meters per hr. I think it's a HJ5 M.   Any comments, good or bad, leave it where it is? Thanks.

An unfortunate name ...

I watched a PTO driven 15" one a few years back doing some domestic biomass chip.  God it was slow.  Mentioned it to a mate who knows his stuff and his words were 'never a better name for a chipper', i.e. junk.

Ya that might be why they are cheap. Tractor I’ll be using has 1000 rpm PTO. Not going to be using it every day though.

The company I use to work for had one on the tractor. It was always painfully slow at chipping and seemed to never be quite right. I’m sure it’s not completely the chippers fault probably the way it was set up. But either way...... didn’t like it.
