Would a PTO chipper realistically fit on a landy?

[GTS]

To fit a hydraulic 6+" chipper to the front or back to a 110 landy. Is this really achievable? Or just stick one on a tractor?

What does anyone think?

Thanks in advance

No, short answer.

 

I think this has been discussed before in a thread.

 

If you got a tractor use that!

I did wonder but you would be over weight before you even started I tuink

Wasn't 1 built with a tw150 on the back and a chip box smaller than my bait box against the cab? Sure I've got a picture somewhere...?

Found it.

Ha! That's a fun bit of engineering, like you say though, fairly useless.

If you could spin the chipper and chip into a trailer it would be a pretty versatile bit of kit. Many off road jobs you leave the chip so space not an issue in those cases. If you towed a 3.5 ton tipping trailer you could actually legally carry much more then a standard LR110 TW150 combo..

 

the main issue as I see it is the hopper height. I have never noticed that you can feed that chipper from the side... that might work. Has anyone used it?

If you dispense with the chip box and tow a high sided 3.5 ton trailer (2t + payload) you have a 'small' rig which complies with VOSA regs when well loaded.

 

Just need to get young drivers up to the right towing license level of employ old gits.

Nearly forgot - you also have the reliability of a land rover!!

 

Bugger, Ben beat me to it.

I dont see whats wrong with the idea, A landy just towing a chipper is going to have to poke up with going away with one ton max on board. If a PTO chipper is mounted on the back and all the useful left over space utilised for tool storage it can with a pull out drawbar legally chip 2.5 ton into a tipping trailer.
