PTO Kwikchip

[treedweller]

Having read all the negative comments and feedback about them over the years i've never once heard something bad about a pto model. Does that fact that they have not got an engine to worry about and don't really need anti stress do away with all the issues?? Got my eye on a 9" machine on the bay for the back of the mog.

the pto 1,s appear to be better built the older 1,s were made in germany ,

The kwikchips I've used over the years have always been really good, did not realise some had a low opinion of them.

I have known a few people that slate them but these are generally the same people that don't own a grease gun.

Had a 9" Kwikchip. Had a turntable which was its best feature, until you have one you don't realise how useful it is.

 

As for what its like. Did what it needed to do quite well, only 9" chipper i've used. Had it on a 390 2wd and Valtra A95 it chipped well didn't like skinny stuff so much and if you clogged it up it was a pain to clear it.

 

It had a nice big feed hopper so you could crane feed it. I could never get the speed control for the rollers to actually slow the rolllers down though. It was turning or not.

 

Having gone to a 12" bandit running on the same Valtra you could see it was a slow chipper in comparison. No stress kicking was the biggest slow down on it.

 

It did the job for many years i think nearly 10 years with very little work on it. It was a solid chipper. Profiline 431 i think.
