Loading a rock venom chipper alone into trailer

[Irishlew72]

Hello everybody, I hope you are all safe and well! 
 

Looking at getting the rock venom chipper, (same as Jansen) about 180kg 

 

the issue is loading it on my own, I have a tipper trailer Bateson which isn’t too high, but don’t really want to get a hernia pushing it up into there, has anyone here had experience with single handedly loading one of these?

Fit a winch mate. Saved me a whole load of grunting.

Thank you so much for this, I was looking last night at fitting a winch, do you take the power off the chipper battery? Was it hard to fit? 
 

thanks 

[Shaff]

Yes powered straight off the chipper battery . Really straight forward to fit. Made up a bracket with 2 bits of 2” flat bar and bolted to chipper frame.

Thanks again, if you could send some more pictures that would be amazing, I’m ok at diy so hopefully wouldn’t be a huge task... are you still happy with the chipper?

Tbh rock are the only company who have come back to me with questions etc, I haven’t even bought it yet they are very helpful 

[Shaff]

Yes , chipper has been a great buy. Coming up on 3 years old now and has never let me down. 

Keep the blades sharp and the blade/anvil gap in check and you won’t go far wrong. 

Keep it well serviced and greased and it’ll do you proud.

Just to add I’ve also fitted a swivel discharge chute off a titan pro and this makes it a lot handier

There new 2021 model has a swivel shoot as standard, along with a few other things
