I would guess a car cover would be best, but I am quite worried about the security of your machine too, if it's outside. Anyhow these letres, are they french by any chance?

i've never seen a chipper cover, but its kinda surprising that timberwolf dont make one

[Andy Collins]

I see a whole new market out there:001_smile: Stein chipper covers anyone?

[Theocus]

I asked the timberwolf chaps on here why they didnt seal it so it stops the water from getting in etc etc and a slightly sarky reply stated the large funnel at the back end lets the rain get in!!! I find winding the jockey wheel as high as it goes stops the problem.

If Timberwolf make chipper covers then my only hope is that they avoid orange at all costs, don't want people seeing your chippers from space.

Drill a hole in the bottom of the fly wheel housing.

 

Its a real pain in the winter if the water freezes.

i had a hinge welded on the bottom of the chute on my vermeer. folds over & fits in a garge now without arsing around taking the whole thing on & off.

 

also makes it a lot easier to throw a tarp over with the loch ness monsters head sticking up in the air!

 

when i used to store it outside in my old place i had a tarp with rope through the eyelets which i pulled tight to wrap around the bottom of the chipper to stop it flying off.

stick in some wash n wax and point it at your truck:thumbup:.. mine only fills with water when i wash it.

Heavy duty car cover from Halfords, about £50. Webbing straps clip under the body to hold it in place. The spout has to be taken off every time, and lies over the wheel arch.

 

They are not that difficult to break into, mind...
