Road tow chipper onto ifor tipper

[Daniel Jiggins]

Just put a towball on the back of the trailer

We have done it a few times with a Jensen 750 and strapped it to the lashing eyes on the trailer deck . That was with a ratchet hand winch that come with our ifor trailer

How about fixing a ball hitch on the head board end of the trailer. Once the chipper is up into the trailer, attach the tow hitch to the ball hitch and put a couple ratchet straps across the axle ?

 

That is the plan, unsure what size hand winch to use?

When delivering more than 1 chipper at a time I used to put one on backwards and one on forwards so the A frames would sit past each other. Get away with one trip then. You'll need 3 ramps though, one for the jockey.

Quite often take chipper on trailer . Ball hitch on landrover front bumper, reverse chipper onto trailer one l/r wheel up ramp, unhitch and bobs your uncle. Do it also with part load of chip on way home. Loads with ifor off vehicle, handbrake on, chock wheels, loading jacks down and away you go

You'll only need a small boat winch to drag a tw150. Loads of different options and quite cheap to do

The brakes on Ifors are pretty good. If we need to do this I just unhitch and use the truck to pull it on. Do it with big logs too. It can be a bit Heath Robinson though it's very simple. We don't have ramps, we have the large tailgate version so no need for the third ramp and if you're careful one person can do it by themselves.

i will pop up a photo of setup i have on my trailer tommorow. although not for a chipper but a log splitter if its going long distance.

 

picked up a cheap hand winch and towball, got blacksmith to make up frame for it and bolted onto headboard of trailer.

 

only modification since is i replaced the awful handle on winch with one off a jockey wheel that had hit road and its so much better.

 

log splitter is give or take 3/4 of a ton as tractor at work can just lift it and its rated for that lift.

 

a better winch would have been nicer that had a ratchet for lowering as well as pulling on but hey it works well for me.

 

pics sometime tommorow
