Wanted Crane Fed Chipper

[MattyBuist]

Looking to see what about in ways of a crane fed chipper to go behind my valtra 8150 with roof crane.

 

Id prefer something thats mounted on 3pl other than a tow along but may still be interested.

what is the policy with crane feeding chippers? Under health and safety legislation, what is the requirement? 

Can a standard chipper be used with smaller cranes or mini diggers feeding? Or do you need to use a designated crane feed chipper?

 

Also with using say a 2.7-3 ton mini digger, grapple and rotator, is the provision of cab guarding, is it just steel bars on front window, or is Marglass or bullet proof glass required?

I’m guessing it’s fine to use whatever, I mean it’s got to be safer than hand feeding.

Should really have the ability to stop and reverse the chipper from the controls of whatever you're loading it with

[Treemover]

that wouldnt be impossible or too hard to do?
