Which self powered chippers are the most fuel economical?

[Stephen Blair]

Thats the ticket, shouldn't be any other way

 

great minds, and when its your diesel and you suffer from rage. please turn the dam thing off, and put the blower down aswell, we havent even started to rake up the rough of it yet:sneaky2:

The next 222 I had had a 45hp 4 cyl turbo engine and was well on top of its work and very economical with it.

 

 

I have to agree Nige, that was a good machine with a good engine, it was good on fuel aswell far better than my 55hp greenmech. The isuzu enging in the greenmech seems a stronger unit though, not as highly strung as the turbo unit in the kwik chip, saying that it never let me down, must of had a sympathetic user before me:thumbup:

That would have been Derbyshire Council, Ian! Then we got hold of it!

 

We made it earn its money, but looked after it.

 

It was good on fuel though, chipped a load of leylandii in a day, 32 m3 for less than 30 litres of diesel.

 

On usual run of the mill pruning type jobs it used next to nothing.

 

If I was after a road tow on a turntable, I would have another. Well it would be a Tunnissen 190 nowadays.

 

Whats the Timberwolfs like then anyone?

Excellent chipper - just been on their web-site, no fuel figures anywhere - I guess they think if you can afford one of these monsters, you can afford to run it!

[kimtree]

the figures that have been quoted to me indicate that the chipper would not get a 8 hr day from the tank which i find a bit odd

Very! Like I said earlier, my BC1000 seems fairly good - I recon It'll do 5 days continuous work before a fill-up.

Haha, I was waiting for that comment - fair-play! I’ll have a vacancy soon if you fancy an easy-life….

Thanks for the offer John, but then I'd be worried about the fuel economy of the car to Worcester and back every day....
