Your opinions on new type of 'chipper'

[garth mc garth]

interesting concept, wonder what kind of cut it delivers. ie. clean severed or possibilty not cut right through. have you seen any demos or vids of it working?

[Mr Ed]

Only pics so far.

 

[David Riding]

It would seem so. Basicly, your 'infeed rollers' would do all the processing.

For me, I LOVE the simplicity of it.

 

thats insanely simple, if you could buy just the parts in the photo, one hydraulic motor on the keyway shaft fab a frame and away you go. Domestic / personal use only obviously

[garth mc garth]

like you say the simplicity of it is a big benefit and the price should be pretty competitive as there are minimal moving parts, what: 2 drive motors? bearings and blades. does it use pto pump or spool on tractor?

[Paul Smith]

Ed, did you ever make that 6 " drum chipper?

Ed, did you ever make that 6 " drum chipper?

 

 

Yeah, hows that going?

[David Riding]

Ed,

Would it work mechanically straight of the PTO on to the single keyway slot or would there be a hydraulic motor powering both infeed rollers so a form of stress control is available

[Matt McAulay]

Is it strictly a tractor tool? I may have been blind but was wondering cost price to buy/parts? quite into my firewood got access to several estates for firewood.

[Mr Ed]

At the moment, its available with a pto drive, electric motor and a little honda engined version. I'd like to drive it with a hydraulic planetary drive.

 

As for the drum chipper, yes its built, it works fantastically, but I cant afford to put it into production just yet.

Nice looking machine, the end product looks much like what comes out of a Bilke firewood processor. I'd always wondered what you'd get if you launched brushwood into a Bilke

 

"Bilke" the unlikely bastard lovechild of a washing machine and a pair of Felco secateurs...
