Phew! Some big money here!

For the Record, we filled 3 artic chipliners (144 cubic yards) in 2 hours 45 minutes with a 565 Conehead running a 265hp cummins. Used 25 litres of fuel per load....

The advantage of a Jenz is the personalized build and the swiss watch build quality.

 

Carl, the throat on that Jenz is 26" high by 40 inches wide. The MAN truck is probably running a 500hp+ engine. Probably looking at 1/2 a million Dollars for that rig complete. It is pretty cool huh?

 

Dang sure is neat!

 

While it isn't mine, these handle all my wood. Grinding it into biomass fuel.

 

10' tub, 1khp, 73klbs, 52gph fuel consumtion. It eats as fast as the 20t excavators can feed it. One feeds, one forwards material and shears the bigger bits, a dozer deals with the chips and helps keep the debris pushed in reach of the loading excavator. Best of all, I get to dump for free!

 

 

 

The smaller horizonal feeder, 630hp, 32"x60" throat.

I've worked with the guy that bought that mog and he told me about the grant he got to set a green waste recycling centre. That was a couple of years ago, and as far as i'm aware he's had that rig only about 8 months. His grant was disgustingly big and easily paid for those machines. And this info came straight from the horses mouth, so to speak...

I used to run a WHO 12 foot tub with 860hp. Way to thirsty for my liking. Then had a bandit Beast with 375hp that would equal the Tubs output. Hard to beat the Coneheads diesel fuel / output ratio though.

Unless you're feeding it with an excavator and chipping everything from lite trimmings to stumps to pallets to toliet seats.

 

Would not be friendly on the blades eh?

[Mr Ed]

In that case you want a Jenz VARIOCUT system. Takes 2 hours to swap out the blades for swinging hammers... gives you the best of both worlds...

I should get a cheque from Jenz for the endorsements - The downside is their so damn expensive, and the output is not particularly spectacular.

We've used one of those in the yard a few months back, a recycling centre down the road from us use one and do contracting work. It took 3 hours to produce 150 tonne of good quality chip from pretty contaminated logs, rootballs stems etc. Thats twice a fast as it usually takes the tub grinder and then end product was far better quality. The chip quality is as good as what you'd get from a Jenz chipper or any other chipper for that matter.

We are putting a conehead on a tracked D4 undercarriage. Go anywhere ability...

The U2450 would be neat with a plant trailer for moving that between sites, but we also have a 14 tonne excavator and blade running alongside to feed the chipper.

Interesting!Are you going to be extending the track frame on the D4 chassis?Or won't the chipper's over hang or weight be enough to make it "tippy"?

 

Did you choose the D4 track gear as the machine is American and Komatsu machines are not as popular over there as other places?

 

Good idea though,I'd love to have a look at some pictures of how your are setting up the hydro static drive.

 

Big project mate!

Hey Ed have you seen the Woodsman drum chippers ?

They seam to be getting around the UK now and seam to be the larger 20" & 22".

They look a bit like your Cone head chipper.

I was speaking with a guy the other day at the AA show who told me that Europe recycling were no longer the Agents in the UK for Woodsman:confused1:, you seam to know whos who in the chipper world what do you think .

[Lee Winger]

http://www.listonequipment.co.uk are the UK Woodsman importers

I have used a big woodsman. Not very impressed, although it was my only experience of a chipper that big, it just didnt seem to do the job as it should have.
