Chuck and Duck!

[White Noise]

Sorry I should have worded my last comment differently . You can use a large drum fed chipper on a public highway . If and only if you can find someone to insure you .

Sorry but those two chippers are worse than anything else.

 

1. They are scared of them so not putting as much in as you would.

 

2. I would rather have a slower chipper and be able to stack a few branches on the table before feeding them in, knowing that its not going to smack me on the head and try and drag me in if I'm "quick" enough to get out the way.

 

3. These make work harder as you have to throw it in rather than pass it in and step back.

 

Absolute crap if you ask me.

this looks similar to exenco chipper i use other than its chute is at 45 degrees but 4inch x20 feet sycamore in about 4seconds not dangerous if you watch what your doing.your chain on the saw is doing 20 m/second i was told!!!!!!!!!!

 

Excellent I used one for about 10yrs , it was good target practice if you could launch the branches out of the tree and get em in the shoot … always gets a clap !

They are not that bad:laugh1:. The one thing they have got in their favour is the amount of fan on the chute. The chip could hit the headboard of a 40` artic trailer on an old 9" vermmer that we had, in fact you needed the easy sheet pulled over all the time to contain it. Modern chippers dont do that, you have to get in there and shovel it about.

why would anyone feel the need for something like that, something so violent.

 

Old gibbs was the same, you must be a puppy:biggrin:

I had a jumper ripped off my back with a Gibbs, scary as hell

It was called the woodchuck, first chipper I used. I think Gibbs imported them with a 5 litre petrol V8 and replaced it with a diesel.

I reckon a 6" diameter piece of beach would stall it out. They where fannying around with twigs in the first vid.

We had the exenco for years and refused an upgrade to the newly formed greenmech even though a few days before it threw a blade, it came out the shoot like ninja throwing stars embedding into the wooden clad leyland roadrunner

The only damage I had ever seen one of these chippers was on the Mog pto driven chuck and duck. One of the lads grabbed a big hand full of twigs/crap and lobbed it in and in a split second a topper flew past him on the end of a rope, straight into the disc and all hell broke loose. That spat the blades out and stuffed the anvil, didnt do the topper much good either.
