entec tracked chipper project results

[joe westrup]

so after seeing a entec truckloader mounted on a tracked barrow I decided to make my own but with a few improvements, one I wanted a rolled fed chipper, hence the ch18ph, and I wanted a proper stand on track base to operate it from. the chipper is fully interchangeable with the original hydraulic skip unit by 3 bolts and 5 mins, so is more versatile for me. I couldn't afford a factory trackie so to me this was the best option. iv had it on site and it handles and operates as well as any other unit I have used so very happy:001_smile: hopefuly the pics have worked and I will try to put up some of it on site working:thumbup:

looks good - so if you had a trolley jack with you it would be possible to chip then swap over to use the dumper to carry wood? or maybe less hassle just to make it tow a little trailer.

theoretically yes, but to be honest its easier to lift with the loader from the proper lifting eye at the yard and switch over like that

like it, almost like they were made for each other

I like that! How much did it cost to make?

It's got me thinking this!! Could be a right little machine! Where to get a tracked bed from though??

Love it! Track borrows come up on eBay quite often, the non hydraulic tipping ones are alot cheaper if you just want the track part!
