Absolutely superb looking setup there, and I'm becoming a real Valtra convert myself now.

I'd be really interested to see how a roof mount performed against an excavator for actual loading of a Chipper in my applications, but for versatility all round I'm certain the Valtra you have there will take some beating?

 

I'd be interested in what people are paying to hire in similar tractors?

i.e. Roof/Jake mount with 10"+ pto chipper including experienced operator and fuel etc?

 

Is anyone actually putting out roof/jake mounts self drive?

Is the chipper not to small to be crane feeding it?

 

Get some more pics of it on site

I have crane fed Gloria, that Chippers positively huge!! Lol

Hoppers take a bashing, and if you grab further out its easy to use too much leverage, shove by the rollers and damage the blades.

that model can be crane fed you are meant to take the hood off the top of the hopper but we haven't got round to it yet it's worked well so far apart from a coupla dings but its a new experience to me so im just learning

i'll try and get some pics soon as for the model to be honest I've never paid any attention all I know is what I was told about it lol, and has been a helluva time saver on jobs the whole unit has made life that bit easier, waiting on getting a winch for it too

Does that 70-80K include the chipper?
