That lip before the feedroller looks a poor design  ??

You just know butts of branches will keep hitting those notches inside the hopper! Very poor design.

SKARPER® X-SERIES™ compact wood chippers: Precision-engineered for arborists. Unmatched speed...

 

Anyone know much about these? They look a lot more refined than the previous models. Wondered if the same company? Were the previous Dutch? I'm not sure if Haeksler(?) and them were supposed to be from same company ( and Foxwood??) Can't find a UK dealer but they look as if they'd be very expensive...

IIRC Tudor environmental at Coventry had some, worth a try. I think i remember looking at one there once seemed ok for the money.

I looked on their website but it just showed an older model and was out of stock 🙁

Correction- it shows Foxwood in stock.£4800 nearly. Bit dear when a Chinese equivalent for £3k less- albeit cheaper components.

If you're interested in Foxwood talk to Jim at Upson Mowers as they import them. 

 

I've got a Chinese stump grinder which I use very occasionally, and a JoBeau European chipper which is about 15 years old and goes out every week. No way that Chinese stump grinder will be going in 15 years, had to weld up the exhaust and brake handle already.

 

Horses for courses maybe.

Also check this thread, Jim got involved and explained how they changed over from importing Haeksler to Foxwood

That Jo-Beau Gorilla just needs an expanding (widening) infeed chute to become a game changer.
