What it going on and what's your budget?

What size capacity and does the tractor have 540, 540e, 750 or 1000 speed box?

At the moment I'm checking out all options.

 

Dont have a lot of money so one of the options is to get a mashed tractor and have its engine refurbed, have it static in the yard and process my waste as it comes in. Looks like a much cheaper option than buying a chipper.

 

Dunno about size of tractor yet. The farm where my yard is has one but havent seen it yet.

 

I'd like to get 6" PTO chipper but depends on cost and quality....

We Strated with a 10" pto chipper which required a minimum of 80hp but if im totally honest it has done us proud ! it will be a real shame to sell it but we need to make the space (and i would prefer a front mounted chipper for our mog) My advice would be to wait untill you can aford a half decent tractor that you can use to its full potential and then get a chipper to match .

You mentioned processing in the yard as a cheaper alternative to a road towable machine....the point of a towable is taking the machine to the job and not the job to the machine. A truck will carry 5 times more brash in chip form than fresh off of the tree!

 

We have a new 6x9 inch PTO driven unit out soon, it will take uptown 60hp I'm told and will be side fed with the option to tow a smallish grain trailer behind it....
