Looks like Legs to me MB.

 

 

So do they hand crank down? Why aren't they needed when going down the road? If the chipper doesn't need them for that, why would they need them when chipping?

 

I've always wondered about that unusual set-up. Has anyone ever took off driving when the legs were still down?

Ahhh! Some one else noticed it was Anna washing it too.

 

Lol yes it was you dirty buggers lol :001_cool:

 

The legs are to support the chipper Butch, you can lift them, lock off the chipper on the hydrulics and tow a small evenly balanced trailer off the back of the chipper as a chip bin.....

The legs should be lifted when on / off road they just slide down with a lynch pin through a hole. Gives better clearance when on rough ground. It's just a feature of that particular chipper. It enables you to travel with the chipper in a locked off ready to chip postion.

Thanks for the answer. People over here would break their necks staring at that thing.

 

Has a chipper ever broken completely off the truck while going down the road?

 

The chipper is held on a Ferguson type 3 point linkage just like nearly every tractor in the world.

 

A unimog is a chimera, neither tractor nor truck.

 

Chippers can fall off the linkage and the linkage can break but if it happens it’s usually operator error or abuse.
