chipper with best feed for scrub

[openspaceman]

Having little experience of different chipper, I spent 5 years helping a mate with a Dosko and learned how to get the best out of it but it needed attention lots of the time. In between I assisted on one job with a new orange chipper that one could feed a stick and it would just keep feeding it with no assistance, but I cannot remember what it was.

 

Now I'm looking for a small tow behind 6" chipper that will chip small scrub and gorse, I've tried the jensen which was good but the chute seemed a bit narrow to get springy stuff up to the rollers, any suggestions for better feeding chippers?

the early timberwolf 150 chippers where pretty good.

using a jenson 150 contractor at the moment and that is a little beast. its a small chipper that chips like a big chipper!

 

very little snedding needed.

Still go an old PTO TP 10" but need something lads can get to vegetation management jobs by themselves, normally no need to get arisings off site.

So what's different about the current timberwolf 150?

 

Is the jensen 150 contractor different from the a528 feed/chute?

Timberwolf

i used some of the older one and found them very willing machines. the rollers seemed to have more bite to them and seemed to throw the chip better than the newer ones i have used. especially a 150 tracked version which was pants all round!!

 

Jensen.

sorry it is a 750 contractor as in under 750kg for towing.

it is almost the same machine to look at but again they seem to drag the brash in more willingly and because of the turbo the anti stress seems to kick in less than it did on our old a528.

 

but both machines have a narrow hopper

would you need a tracked one or is it all easy land ?

Have a look at USA machines they tend to be a lot meatier than euro chipper, bigger all round with large in-feed trays.
