Kwikchip 222?????

KWIKCHIP 222 6" feed...anybody know anything about them? any good or not worth bothering with??

[Big 'Ammer]

I've had 2 turntable ones and rated them.

 

They are actually 7".

 

The 4cyl turbo one was well on top of its work.

 

Both quite heavy, which means they are robust, but the downside is towing.

 

Check for spares availability nowadays, I don't know who is doing them.

 

The Tunnissen 190 is basically the latest up to date incarnation.

is it petrol or diesel the 222? are they not been built anymore because i cant seem to find anything about them on google...did you have any trouble with the turbo? ive heared roumers of them just blowing up!

[Big 'Ammer]

I didn't have any trouble with mine other than what you would expect of any older piece of machinery being worked hard.

 

Neither of 'em owed me any money.

We blew ours up a few years ago, stuck a new engine on it and since altering the spout now rate it above our tw 190.

Wondering if you can help...I've been following the threads trying to get a lead on a wiring diagram for a 1998 Kwickchip 222 turbo. Can anyone help me please?

the problem with turbos on chippers is full load stop start let em idle for five mins before and that should preserve the turbo:thumbup:

Big problem we have found with them is replacement parts suppliers, there does not seem to be any:confused1: sure there will be someone on here that can point you in the right direction though

Eric Hunter were the distributor but there is no sign of TS or Saleen (the owners of TS) on hunters website

 

Most wear parts such as bearings are off the shelf items and can be sourced from industrial suppliers.

Had one a few years back. Rated it as a good chipper£2.5k soon paid for itself. Is it a ruggerini engine, diesel by any chance?

They are italian engines and i found spares quite easy to source through google, some london company but cant remember the name of it.

Ruggerini also make outboard motors for boats.
