pto chipper what would you buy

[Brushcutter]

That does sound like a hell of a punishment for the poor little tractor. Do you reckon it would be possible to adjust the electro-hydraulic PTO engagement?

 

The idea has crossed my mind. Not a clue how to do it and the manual is no help. The chipper normally goes on a 100hp tractor just needed those for other jobs so the baby gets it.

Apparently the guy behind them used to work for schliesing and took all the ideas he liked, left out the bits he didn't put some new features in.

Before the TS industries, I used a 10" PTO Jensen and the TS was miles better at pulling stuff in.

The turntable version is worth the extra money.

The Jensen's suffer from the sides of the top feed roller wearing and bits of material getting stuck down either side.

 

Similar issues with the Kwikchip. Although this machine had done a lot of chipping.

I had the chance to look into a Schieslings innards and was singularly unimpressed! A big machine by any standards but village blacksmith engineering. Massive flywheel with the "whisper cut" or "Z" blade system which was in for some preparation.....

 

Massive "plumbers block" style bearings, one of which had had the one mounting lug removed and they used the cap bolt to assist in holding it down! Wrong thing to do....Two blades bust and a pillow bent. The no stress device was busted too.

 

Very, very simply made and poorly contrived but at over twice the price of anything else!!! Not worth the dosh imo. Sorry, but where does all that money go, not into design, parts, fabrication or finish.....

we run massey tractors at home ( all beuvais built ones) and they have a stepped pto start up so instead of engaging at full whack they gradually speed up to avoid stressing the implement or tractor. We have also got an old 135 on the straw chopper and that wont have it on the pto start up so you have to tear down the yard in land speed get the flywheel going and then knock it up into live drive and away she goes. If something is likely to stall I would gradually feed it in and out a few times to get it moving then away you go

If that is the case then how do they out chip every other equivalent chipper on the market and last for years ?

Because people keep fixing them as they cost so much in the 1st place you darnt replace it, bit like a landy ;-)

You've obviously never owned one.
