farmi chippers

[garth mc garth]

does anyone have any info or feedback on farmi pto chippers ideally the ch 260. now i have the mog i want a larger capacity chipper that will produce fuel grade chip and i can run from my mog. i have read about them in forestry journal and had a demo one but would appreciate some un biased opinions from someone who isnt trying to sell me one.

also if anyone interested in buying a jensen 528 send us a pm

 

cheers

If i was to buy a mog ideally i would want to buy a 260 as well.

One of the best pto chippers ive seen

Very good chippers, don't discount the TP range either.

Ive had 3 260 HF Farmi's, in my opinion there is no better PTO chipper out there (for the price).

The twin disk system with screens and sliver breakers works exceptionaly well, easily producing high grade fuel chip.

 

If you want the best price and service, speak to Gareth at Corwen Forestry, as they are the longest running Farmi dealers in the country.

cheers guys, my local forestry dealership sells tp chippers and they all look very impressive but i dont think i can justify the price tag. a little further away is the farmi dealer who let me have a good look round them and have a demo feeding slab wood and like you say a good consistant grade chip was produced.

is there anything to look out for when looking at second hand one?

Same as any 2nd hand kit mate, check for abuse, open her up and have a good look around. Look for dents in the feed hooper as you'd be amazed how many people crane feed PTO chippers.

 

The most expensive bits to deal with are the hydrulic motors which can be damaged through abuse. TBH though if it looks clean and tidy on the outside it's probably replicated on the inside....

Have run farmi for the last 15 yrs on U900's and U1000's, easy to maintain and very good chip.Biggap between the rollers and the blades so can be a bit of a pain with conifers wrapping round rollers. Watch for the last bit of wood getting stuck in the gap,sometimes have to turn pto shaft back by hand as it will stall mog.

 

Price wise I paid just under £5,000 brand spanker from the factory but had to make my own control bar set up.

[Topcat]

It came direct from Farmi. have a look at my pic forum it's on there. Would put pics on here if I knew how.lol
