Favorite Chipper

[Rowan the Bruce]

anyone rate the old style vermeer 625i, looking at one on e bay at the moment

[Mesterh]

We have one with the perkins diesel engine.

 

A great little chipper out classed now performance wise by the newer timberwolf greenmech etc, but they are a solid built machine that will last a long time.

yeah this one's the perkins diesel and i'm not too bothered at the mo about how fast it chips brash as long as its reliable,mainly it'll be for small garden stuff, leylandii bashing etc.If I start doing major clearance contracts then hiring a larger machine is fine.

Ive been a chipper boi for about 3 years now and 2 years part time at college! i really like the shleising 220MX apart from 2 bottom feed rollers and towbar dampers nothing ever goes wrong, our chute has a small crack in tho at the usual place for chippers! also the jensen tracked A350 9.5" chipper is excellent! especially when chipping poplar! its a monster! it does struggle with really small bits tho, getting caught at the end of the rollers! i hate greenmechs and the turbo timberwolf there both anoying to use!!

customer of mine has a small gravity fed one and its terrible, was sold it by large local garden supplier under impression it would be suitable for what they want and it was useless

my first chipper was a gravity fed pto. totally shite. dangerous in so many ways. constantly got blocked, whacked the life out your fingers. if anyone wants it they can have it. i am not delivering it. its in inverkip.

We use a monster Jensen PTO chipper on the mog when doing night shift

de-veg, christ knows what size it will take, must be at least 12'.

The thing is an absolute animal.

 

We can feed a whole tree through it and it muches it like it was nothing.
