self propelled chipper (Shreks wee chipper)

[Rob D]

This might sound a bit whacko, but instead of trying to get a small chipper in the back garden, why not drag the stuff out to the front where you could use a better chipper (from the money you save on not having it self-powered, on tracks or strapped to a quad, and still needing a trailer to get it to the job in the first place.

 

Sorry, I`ve had a couple of pints.

 

I've had jobs where the drag would be almost a quarter of a mile....! Just would not be practical to drag it. And I've had other jobs where the chip piles combined must have weighed 30 to 40 tonnes.... your groundies back would just buckle

if anyone has had to try and bump a tow behind into a container by themselves or pop a ball trying to get it on the hitch in a downhill position then i would buy one in a second for a grand rob

I know that exact feeling getting my big trailer in and out of the container

tracked chippers rule

Imagine if you took the bucket off a tracked wheelbarrow.Then made a tow behind chipper with a removable chassis and axel.

 

You could drop the legs down on the towed chipper,unbolt the cutting unit and engine from the chassis,drive forward and then drive the tracked wheelbarrow underneath it and bold it on.

 

The you could have a tracked chipper when you need it and a two behind when you don't.As the tracked wheelbarrow would still have the tipping ram and frame,you could use it to carry the wood out when you had remounted it to the tow behind chassis?

there was one on earborist lasy year mike, it was home made but did the trick. i know a guy who bought a tracked dumper and did the same with that with his tow behind. it had less ground pressure than a person and could go anywhere.
