UFKES Greentec Jaguar 40-80

Had this on demo today - it’s a very good chipper under 3500kg to be fair!

400x600mm opening, can be crane or hand fed, radio controlled, 140hp etc etc. Good bit of kit, just working out man-maths now…

Just get the deposit put down and worry about the rest later lol 😆 

 

No videos?

The crane fed option looks amazing!  It was out my league price wise when I enquired a few months back, saying that if I got it at the start of the storm Arwen It would pretty much of been paid off by now and I wouldn’t of had to do double journeys moving a mini loader or mini digger for feeding.  So there’s a lot to be off set against it imo.

It’s definitely an expensive toy but it chips faster than a 2.7 tonner can feed it… 

I’m not convinced by the crane-mounted jobby - this one can’t be crane mounted (and still remain under 3.5 tonnes) as it’s designed to give the most throughput so is a bigger drum-chipper than the lighter disk machine. This can be built on tracks or on a heavier chassis for truck/tractor towing (and you could have the biggest crane in the world then!).

So how much do they cost?

You got to chip a lot of stuff to see money back.

Or get through an immense amount of chipping in a short time.

certainly looks like a smart piece of kit.

Theres obviously pros and cons to every bit of equipment but I've always thought the ability to position a chipper at any angle is handy, be it tracked or on a trailer. This is where my heizo is limited. however I can rock up with the heizo and feed it with the tractor negating the need for another vehicle and person to bring a digger (you could put both on a low loader behind a tractor if you were going alone)

 

I say get it bought 🤣

Well we just took delivery of the tracked version and so pleased with it, few little modification to get finished off when I can actually get it off site for a few days.

So easy to machine feed with the massive open top hopper and with everything being controlled by the remote but still having the option to hand feed with full safety bar and button's on the side. The only additional thing I'd have liked is a top roller open button on the side for making throwing chogs in easier but that's a really minor thing in the scheme of things.
