Jensen Wessex chipper fuel consumption

[Sussex Groundie]

Hi guys, just been bought a s/h chipper by one of the Estates I look after, can anyone tell me the "average" litres per hr on diesel? I am guessing 1 Litre per hr but may be wrong. It's going to be working hard to start with clearing up the brash in a wood with 40+ Scots Pine trees that are on the floor.

Cheers SG

As a rough rule of thumb, 35hp is 3.5ltrs per hour, 50hp is 5ltrs per hour!

I had one of those.Great machine!

 

The tank is not that big from memory.If you are going to be running it hot all day,then bring an extra 20liters on top of a full tank.

 

If you ever feel like getting rid of it,let me know please.

Thanks guys for the info, think its 35hp, looks like its a Jerry can down the garage for some Red Diesel
