Just don’t get why you need a chipper of this size in tracks. Surely you can just push it about if it’s on wheels?

I can push my hyundai mini chipper about, strip it down and carry it through houses and even lift it onto my flatbed trailer on my own when I need to, so its perfectly manouverable.

But I'm still seriously thinking about mounting it on a quick release on a tracked barrow....

All you WCC Members i have a business acquaintance who is selling brand new B+S 18 Hp Engines.

These are the same as what is fitted to CS100's and would replace Honda Twins. Absolute bargain.

 

990.00 inc vat inc carriage.

the thing about it being on tracks......makes the infeed even higher

I like my JoBeau which pushes itself, especially at the end of the day onto the trailer when I'm tired (with an f). Can't do steps at all though, without a couple of planks.
Swivel chute is really useful, yes.
Shrubs fly through, have to be a bit careful not to let too much in at once as can block.

Hi Dan. Good to hear its working out for you.

OK it may not be all that suitable for dwarves but I'd rather pull a lever than push a few hundred kilos about... High ho!

That was my kinda thinking before I found the Peruzzo. Seriously have a chat with @equip4ind & then @Arblease you won't be disappointed!

Id rather pull 200kgs once, than lift 2,000 branches 30cm higher

It grows quicker than it got chipped.

For 2000 branches I'd want feed rollers! ?

Yeah, still going strong. I've now replaced the drum bearings, blades and belts and fitted that hour meter - just need a bit of updating on the wiring and it'll near enough be a whole new chipper.
