what chipper is this

[David Riding]

Saw this lying around rusting away at my local agricultural engineers graveyard, is it as old as it looks or just had a hard life?

[bob]

looks like an exenco to me

we had one similar about 21 years ago gravity fed but suprisingly good even on the good old elms

thanks Steve, wish I had concentrated harder at school I wondered what those symbols on the side meant.

 

Worth salvaging and making it run??

Had one on hire in 1987...my first year of going it alone. Plenty of power but heavy little b!$*ard. Burnt the clutch out on my Nissan pick-up on rough ground:sad:

only as a hobby i think,

 

good old engine as i remember, but they are heavy and are gravity feed, but they could throw the chips some distance.

 

if i'm correct i think wilkie recycling took over the dealership for them and still stock parts
