loading a chipper

[combined tree services]

Depends on size of chipper, size of material being chipped. Machines don't slow down towards the end of the day like people!

 

Come on Garth , as much as it may not be related to loading a chipper lets see some more pics of your Valtra pretty please

apart from valtra which is the best tractor. my john deere is good but cant get it to the right revs for the chipper because a warning light comes on and my international is getting a bit old now

Wilsons do have some tidy tractors in at the moment and most dont have a crane fitted , yes a crane would be ideal to feed your chipper but if your not in the makret at present then it would be a great way to go with the view of possibly getting a jake mounted at a later date

when you load with digger how do you stop infeed if any stones etc go into chipper if your in the digger

 

As I've said before I'm probably a little unusual in my applications, so actually have the tractor operated at all times whilst loading with the digger.

Generally we do a lot of moving about the site chipping fairly small piles we've previously stockpiled.

Obviously we can communicate to stop or reverse the feed at any time but I'm actually having a remote setup sorted at present.

 

The Valtra has a fairly simple monitoring system that would shut the tractor down for low oil pressure or high temperature so could be left running ok, and I'm looking to have the forward/reverse feed via a Lodar system.

The complication comes in wanting to use the nice set of forward/reverse electric pedals that come with the Farmi to integrate with the Lodar handset.

This would give me a setup where I can load with the digger and control the forward/reverse with a foot pedal for ease of use.

 

I really like the look of your chipper and I'm certain that a reasonable size excavator would sit over them rear axles a treat.

Currently use my 2026 schaffer loader with a branch manager grapple to feed the chipper.is very efficient.if loader will drag it chipper will take it.
