Ruducing the width of a chipper

[Pat Ferrett]

The storage space for my chipper is 1.27 metres wide, And its time to upgrade my options are a tracked machine or modify a towable machine to fit the gap. Has anybody on here got any bright ideas ?

may be a hassle but make the mud guards come off with a quick clip system (captive bolts with wingnuts etc) then a couple off space saver wheels, means you would need to change them every night though.

 

other than that build a narrower axle for the chipper but you would need to watch it does not tip when cornering.

 

apart from that just get a bigger shed

erm brightest idea is to make ur storage space bigger

No chance of making the space bigger without moving the house or boundry wall. Had to make do with a Camon for the last 5 years but its time to spend some money! Tracked seems the way to go but then I need about 4 car lenghts to line the truck trailer ramps and then the machine up.

Its a shame you cant get a towable chipper with a vari axle

Good point Wooded looks like the 15 23 is 1.29 metres wide which I bet could be shoe horned a tad,

 

Anybody reading this thread got one ?

remove the hopper and have a ramp one side so it sits at an angle

if you are upgrading to new i wouldnt do any alterations most probably void your warranty

Its going to be new in my eyes but old to the previous owner

Storage space for the tools has always been my biggest headache.
