I'm interested in a tracked machine you could feed whilst still in the trailer, if that makes sense?

Just to save time on domestic driveway jobs.

I appreciate the hopper height would be high.

That is exactly the route I'm thinking about next Mark.

Ideally I'd like a 3.5t tipping trailer that has a bed 1 inch off the road and weighs 200 grams.

 

I'll let you know if I find the Holy Grail and Jimmy Hoffer while I'm at it.

Ha ha, the search goes on!

I've run a tracked chipper on a trailer behind a truck, it doesn't really work well.

The first issue is weight.

I'd be very interested to know about ALL of your reasons for it being a bad idea.

I can work out all the advantages but the disadvantages could be a costly mistake for me.

Thanks in advance.

Well the weight thing is obvious, the combined weight of a tracked chipper plus trailer is maybe a tonne more than a sub 750 kg chipper.

In tight drives you can manhandle a 750 around easily whereas a tracked chipper on a trailer is a big lump, so you have to take it off, then push the trailer out of the way.

Sounds easy but it's just one more thing to do.

If you leave it on the trailer the intake hopper is a pita to get to, and in my case the spout was too far away from the back of the truck, meaning a lot dropped short.

I hated the chipper anyway TW with a 25 hp engine.

Others may differ, but that was my experience.

The other thing is you could buy a cheap quad and put it in the back of the truck and use that to get a wheeled chipper around the site.

I use a compact tractor but a quad would do the job just as well.

That's what I do, works well most of the time.

I just drop the trailer ramp and tip the body up and chip away. It works for me:)
