Hi

Has anyone any information about difference between chippers with own engine versus hydraulic powered from other machine? Just thinkin is 18hp own engine small chipper better option than some kind of attached chipper to small loader with 23hp. Technically 23hp is more but I don't know how much of that is transferred to the chipper via hydraulics

Lots of power losses with hydraulics. And when you price a hydraulic one you’ll realise you’re better getting a cheap petrol one and bolting a loader bracket to it!!

You loose 25% of power going hydraulic! We have done a load of 6" machines for Avant and a couple for RoboFlail type devices but they need oil quantity, cooling and flow. As said, get a standard Wee Chipper (preferably GreenMech) and tow it about with loader. When you done with it, it has a wider market etc.
