timberwolf petrol chipper

[chainsawdom]

anyone got any experience of using the honda petrol gravity fed one the which is in a frame not the tow version.

Friend of mine has one the main problem is the hopper is way too high and almost impossible to clear blockages.

[chainsawdom]

so how do you clear a blockage in them as like on a tw150 you just reverse the rollers?

[Frankie Lawrence]

Not a timber wolf but our small horrible chipper weve had one bloke head first in the hopper (not strictly good working practice and it asnt going and he just had another bloke holding his legs up.

 

the one im on about didnt have reverseable rollers.

Gravity fed chippers don't have rollers.

[chainsawdom]

i know thats why i was wondering how you clear a blockage.

[J.D]

I am probably wrong but i think you have to remove the inspection cover and remove by hand ?

Or a long stick with a bit of a hook on it

as above, or youve got to keep undoing the 17mm bolt and lifting the inspection cover.and unblock by hand... good little chippers but a pain in the arse with wet conifer:cursing:

I used one last year to chip a load of Laurel on site in a graveyard, good little chipper and coped well aslong as you cut it doen and dont try and put forks through, be a bugger on wet conny and bushy stuff like hedges.
