Chipper exit chute extension

[monkeybusiness]

A friend of mine has a tarp over the chip box (custom made, looks smart) which has a flap extending over the top of the chipper chute when in use. Almost no mess from an Entec (old school TW150) - neat cheap set up IMO.

Someone I know has an extension from wide drainpipe and I believe it works spot on.

Check out the Lindana TP150 extentions. You might be able to something similar.

I extended my chipper chute on my TPO, front mounted Schliessing 105 years ago. We had lots of problems with blockages. The first was that we used light ali tubing, which soon formed a lip and blocked...once we went of the a removable piece of light steel, this stopped happening. The other was, the blades had to be spot on, we changed them every month. A wet day in conifer or willow and a blockage was almost guaranteed. Unless your chipping over a cab or something..I would concentrate on the chipbox rather than the discharge chute..maybe put a 1/2 roof on it?

This will almost certainly block unless your chipper has enough grunt to really throw the chip especially if the product is in ideal conditions.

Theres a guy round my way who has an ally tube extension - it looks a bit wierd but he doesn't have to do much cleaning up.

 

I improvised once when I had to chip into a small van - i used a piece of 8 inch plastic gas main (slotted over the output fine and tucked over rear board in the van) no mess apart from a bit of leaf blowback.

 

Go to a decent drainage dpecialist and find an offcut of suitable diameter.

If it's angled slightly downwards and smooth enough you will be OK.

 

The level of success will reduce with length, closeness to horizontal and wetness of chipping material. Well worth trying

Know someone who tried extending their chute. Waste of time, if the angle isnt right it knackers the chip trajactory and it ends up making more of a mess. You could always unhook the chipper and park over the tow bar. Or do less conny's in the rain:rolleyes:

 

trees, waves and cakes!!:-)

I remember that ridiculous contraption :eek:

If It will not reach the van when doing conifer , you need to get your green to wood ratio correct, when the greenery is halfway, get the next branch in, if the greenery is not very bulky, feed it in backwards!

Also if you can reduce the roller speed rather than the no stress kicking in all the time, this will help.

That's what I was about to say.

If you put an extension on you will need to add a blower to stop blockages.
