Chipper mounted pickup???

[scraggs]

I have been considering this with my 130, the general idea was it would be demountable so I could swap between dropside tipper, camper and chipper, then chip into the 3017 ifor tipper.

Finding the ideal chipper at the right price is being a bit of a problem, especially as has already been said without overloading the back axle.

Has anyone seen a chipper mounted on the back of a pickup ? I have seen the landy at the apf but that cost a fortune. I was thinking about for example on the back of a Mitsubishi warrior, obviously it would have to be a turn table and fairly low to feed brash in, but if you had a trailer behind you could chipback into it.

 

Any thoughts ??? Have I come up with sumit ??? Probably not!

 

My experience of l200 is that theyre not worth it! otherwise, Struggling to really see the benefit to having the chipper on the truck, rather than a tow behind? does sound pretty cool though to have a chipper unit mounted on the wagon!

How about this bad boy!

Think you will need tall groundys too feed it

Not sure but I think some1from this company is a member and might be able to comment on it.

A chipper mounted on a Landrover would surely shake it to pieces in next to no time although a few older arbtalkers will remember a umm with a vermeer on the back of it running around Taunton may years ago

 

Certainly do. Not something I was ever tempted to do in all the years I did line clearance. I always thought it was an expensive way of tying up a vehicle to one use.

I made this up a few years ago, it worked really well.

I added an extension flexible spout that I found in a skip which was great for getting around the crane:001_smile:

I doubt that has any payload left after those two are fitted.

Nice idea though.
