What is the weight of the lightest self-propelled chipper?

[mrtree]

There are chippers from Belgium called Eliets that offer a range of self-propelled machines.

The two machines are too different to compare! One is £8k the other £24k, one is tracked for a reason, the other is wheeled for a reason. I would not buy the GreenMech if I did backyard stuff all day and everyday and I would not buy the TS if I did overheads or railway work!

 

The TS is unique in that it is a disc style chipper with infeed rollers and a no stress device whereas the JoBeau powered machine does have either but it is a fair bit cheaper. The Eliet self propelled machine is a shredder and not a chipper. The CS100 is not powered etc.

 

Make your choice, pay the money and enjoy yourself.

Sure they are very different. So is the weight of the self-propelled chippers, which ranges from 220kg to 1,400kg. And considering the thread-topic, I find it a little OTT to suggest a 1,400kg chipper at all.
