i really dont know why you are waisting your time with these cheap machines, they are ok for what they are but for a contractor like you you shouldnt waist your money, yes they are cheaper but thats it, go for a descent make like schiesling, bandit, jensen, tp , farmi :001_smile:etc

go for the qick chip !!

[Frankie Lawrence]

we had a 6 inch and it was an awful machine it was pto so maybe im not that knowlageble about this machine just saying my exp with the make.

isnt the Junkari a biomass chipper, and im pretty sure its designed for chipping small round softwood?

The only Junkari I've seen used was many years ago by a guy producing big chunks of wood for charcoal burning. Seem to remember it liked cord and worked on an Archmedes screw priciple.

Dave- get a farmi new- they are pretty cheap, absolutely bombproof (basicaly a PTO vermeer) and with things the way they are at the mo, i suspect there are some good deals to be had....

i had a 6" junkari on a mog years ago it was rubbish, i also used the 10" one at a sawmill i worked at, was ok there but it was for chipping slab wood which i think they were designed for.

 

The problem i found with them (they may have changed the design now) the flywheel was at an angle to the rollers so there was a triangular dead space between the roller and the blades if a knuckle or section got lodged in there it was a pita to get anything past it:thumbdown:
