TP 760 chipper

[Rowden the cowboy]

Hello all,

 

Looking at a TP760 tomorrow, just wondering if anyone here knows if they're any different to the tp200 as I have already owned a 200? they look very similar but the blades for the tp 760 seem different and its got a lombardini engine rather than a hatz lump. Anyone know any specific things to look for with these machines that could go wrong before I buy?

 

Cheers

760 in my opinion better than the later generation 200, 760 blade is mounted through the flywheel giving a better and hungrier attack especially when getting slightly blunt , slightly longer time to place the blades in the correct position compared with the 200 bolt them on the side fitting. Engine ok check for normal things smoke under load etc. electric box usually vibrates to pieces! Chassis crack at bend 1/3 along, main bearings end float and rumble , feed rollers worn out / blunt, I have a 760 bought 20 years ago was untidy and knackered then and has gone through 2 hse retro fits on the hopper safety bar 1 clutch 2 sets of main bearings but is still a good chipper used regularly ps Don’t worry about what size it will take it 6 or 7 quandary it is a chipper compared with today’s pencil sharpeners!

Any more opinions on the TP 760 with hatz diesel?

Supposedly 10" 52hp?

I have the PTO version hanging off the back of one of the mogs and its got a letterbox opening of about 12"x9" so really probably only good for 6"-8" material.

What sort out of money are these worth in pto version? Cheers

 

Think it may be a bit small if only rated at 6"
