self propelled chipper (Shreks wee chipper)

[Mike Hill]

I think the idea that I posted above would work for someone with the time and Steel to make it up.

 

I have thought about making up a frame with a grab that uses the tipping assembly on the tracked wheelbarrow.Then you could grab the log,pull it back over the track frame and then back out with it.

 

Long on ideas,short on time.

I thought similar only with a mini hiab.

 

Thats why I dont sleep well, too much crap swilling about in my head

Or you could just buy a proper mini skidsteer with log grapple...?

Yes,but in my head the timber frame would be demountable so I could replace it with the bucket for landscaping.

 

Its all irrelevent really.Most of the people are keeping the Logs today.When we do remove them we cut them into rings and load them into the tracked barrow or carry them out with the digger.

I agree with Nick, start draggin brash you big jessy!!

 

Too much technology these days, Not enough muscle!!

 

No!!no!!no!!

 

I am much happier spending money on machines than on men.

 

Most of my profit is made by doing jobs in less time with less men than my competitors.

 

Machines are always in the yard on time and don't moan if we work late.

I posted something here at the weekend but its been lost.

 

Heres the photo that went with whatever I said, can't remember now but something about adding a tow hitch to a stump grinder!

[Stephen Blair]

good idea that rupe

[josharb87]

yep our rayco has a tow hitch too, handy to have, altohugh might struggle with that bandit of yours stevie!

[Rupe]

It work but only on flat smooth lawns and paths etc. the exact same ones that are easy to push the chipp over by hand! It worked on the job in the picture cos it was a long way and we needed the stump grinder too, but otherwise not worth it.

 

Th eweight of the chipper bears down on the jockey wheel of the stump grinder but not the drive wheels, so theres not enough traction for slopes or wet ground.

 

There. I remembered what I had said yesterday.

[Stephen Blair]

stick all your kit in the hopper next time rupe, or get someone to sit on it, that should help a bit
