chipper size?

[Husqvarna King]

looks not much bigger than my truckman top?

I will try and get a pic and compare. any idea of size? eg. height of the top at the back?

 

Well i dropped off some full loads to a local farmer and filled ton seed bags...it holds four and a half of those:scared:... I cant think of the exact size at the mo but wouldnt want it any bigger!!!

having said that though the old Hi-lux pulls it a treat.....with your truckman top you will have trouble getting in to shovel the chips out...mine is open on top...you would get very hot too as the chips heat up...a grain shovel makes the job easier...or my mates tipper lol

hadn't thought of that? could always hire a midget to help me?

My groundie is only 5'5 and cant stand the heat though

could always take a hacksaw to the top of the truckman, it only cost me a tenner on ebay? hey that might be a good idea?

Yeah mate....definitely...especially when a job takes a bit longer than expected and you know there's a full load of chip to shovel off....still it makes up for it when you can get off-road and chip and its quite small so will fit in places where tractors etc wount...so swings and roundabouts

so just because you have a 6" chipper you don't necessarily (not spelt right i'm sure???!!) have to put 6" stuff in it? it just handles the smaller stuff quicker, am i right?

 

You can chip a lot more smaller pieces of timber at the same time in a 6" chipper than you can in a 4" (i.e. the tail end of a branch). And if you're after a small chipper for a low price I would go for one of the new Greenmech Eco-Arb machines - they've got a 6x9" aperture instead of the 5x5" that you get with a petrol Timberwolf. Also, the petrol Greenmech comes with a 27hp Kohler where as the Timberwolf has got a 20hp Honda. Don't think there's much difference in price either.
