I recon its all down to what you can fit in it without too much snedding, and how grunty the motor is (or how quick it pulls through what you can fit in it).

 

Do you want to know what people use or what they believe is best?

Most chipper threads lead to the same answers... where people buy what they like or can afford and everyone ends up saying buy a bandit or schleising if you can.

 

rant over I recon what you can feed through it without it jamming is a good measure.

Hello,

Frankly, we have done amazingly well with just a wee CS100 18h gravity fed.

Now the time is fast approaching for an investment in a larger road tow.

For in feed size the Bandit xp75 is an option for us here, its 7" x 12" 45hp BUT weighs 1340kg.

This is obviously a cost implication when towing distances as many of our clients are a 125mile round trip.

So more weight, bigger towing vehicle.

However, a machine of this size will do eat anything we give it and fast.

 

Our other option is to go for a lighter 6" such as the Quadchip at 750kg.

This would allow us to continue using a small kangoo type van for distances.

 

My concern is that too large a machine will never be fully optimised.

A smaller machine would probably serve better for most of the work we undertake.

Plus the cost of towing etc...

Cheers

Ty
