What is this chipper

[5 shires]

I paid 2.5k for its 8" capacity and has a lombardini diesel on it -its an upgrade from my little gravity fed 4" bearcat (which I am keeping as back up) just thought someone on here might be able to help me identify it!

 

£2'500 that's ok. I Would't go putting more then 6" through it. No need to really. If you need parts Arbour Eater uk should help you. Hope it helps a little.

It looks like a GSCE engineering project.

How old is it?

It looks like its on a turntable, very high table too.

Was watching it as interested to see what it makes. Bloke seems genuine enough on description just funny how he said will easily eat 6 inch but never put anything over 4 inch thru then says will chip 5 inches super quick lol. You can be sure the stress control doesn't work but as long as you can control the feed rollers engine shouldn't stall. Hope it all works out and look on the bright side atleast you don't have a 15-20k credit hanging over you for a new machine. All the best.

I would be very careful, with the way your feeding that chipper

That's not him feeding it buddy it's his £30 a day polish lad. Happy days

I've had an arbor eater. They're ok. Bit dated by today's standards.

Turntables handy. Assuming its a twin roller you'll be ok.

Arbor Eator Attack 6. Lucy and her Dad Michael Dalrymple are really good, genuine people. The machines are built in Italy by Pezzalato and came in with Arbor Eater and also Eurogreen for a while. They did the job back in the day and came from a vast range of machines....An Attack 6 would be close to £20k now!!!

 

Good luck with your choice - it is a step up from your Bearcat.

Thank you for your responses - very helpful I will be contacting arbor eaters shortly.

Its defo a big step up from a gravity fed bearcat any day even if it is only 6"!!

Cheers all

I was looking at a very similar PTO powered machine made by Pezzolato the other day. I'd never heard of them but a search on Youtube found that the company actually make some bloody huge machines. It's certainly not a made in China item - should be fairly well made coming from a company with a heavy industrial background.

 

For £2.5k you can't go far wrong. As someone else said above, at least you don't have a huge loan to pay for a posh new one. It should earn it's money back and start paying in a fairly short space of time.

 

Good luck. It may not be the best money can buy but it's not cheap rubbish either and I hope it works out well for you.
