Have you used your chipper yet?

I had a CH160,it was good on anything without leaves.A real pain with Connifer,especially wet stuff.Also the quality of the chip was very coarse.The Blade to Anvil gab had to be very close or the chip would be unsuitable for gardens.The Farmi chippers are designed for wood fuel production and not Arb work.However the CH260 is thought of very highly in the Arb industry.

 

-No I haven't been able to use it yet. I had read the chip size would be best suited for wood fuel production. I hope it will handle the light brush I put to it. I hadn't heard it would struggle with smaller cuttings, etc. Worth considering your experience, and even continue looking for a replacement. It was either this or the BX62, Wallenstein, without hydraulic feeds.

[tommer9]

Transport box? What for- to replace chip box or something?

Or do you mean what is also called a link box- goes on the back of tractor?

what you must call a link box mate, i would like a big one for putting wood, dumpy bags, tools etc:001_smile:

Been kicking around farms most of my life- if you want a real big box- im sure you will as your mog can handle it- then go to you nearest steel stockholder and buy a load of box section and angle iron and weld mesh/ plate, and get down to your version of cornwall farmers to buy a quick release a-frame for rear linkage and weld the whole load together- hey presto you have a custom built oversize link box. From what i can tell, commercially available ones are never cavernous. Best of luck.

[Stephen Blair]

thats the plan, all the ones i have seen on the web are tiny, when you say quick release a frame, is that like the ones they use for shifting cow feeders about, the ones that let the calves in but keep the big uns out. really simple, the farmer at my yard has them. and i want a monster one for the mog, one i can put a minidiger or stump drinder in. i am thinking on getting one built round a 3 point winch, now that would be cool, and have a dozing edge on it for pushing chip.

That'll be a "creep feeder" you are referring to stevie. The a-frame is basically two triangles- one has the mountings for the three point linkage, and the other, which is permanently fixed to whichever piece of gear, fits over the top of the triangle attached to the tractor. It is just so you dont have to mess around with three point linkage every time you want to change implement. Hydraulic top link is also a major advantage. How are you thinking of mounting the winch and everything else, or do you mean one thing at a time. A pto franchguard is awesome- but had you thought of hydraulic underfloor winches- that way if you had a roller fairlead front/back/side then you could winch any direction, and have it permanently mounted. Just a thought...
