self propelled chipper (Shreks wee chipper)

[Stephen Blair]

is that your only chipper steve, how do you get on with using a panel van?

 

panel van and wee chipper combo is great, holds all my kit and the chipper and room for logs and stuff, i does get a little cramped in there sometimes if i have bags of hedge cuttings and stuff, but i am pretty OCD about stuff in its place and keeping things neat and tidy so it works fine for me, if others just chuck it in then rain man takes a berky lol. i still have 2 other chippers that havent spinned a flywheel since selling the mog, gloria has worked everyday since i bought her, i have a panel i can lift up now and just chip into the back if i needed to, but i havent yet.

 

this set up only works for me because i work myself now, a 3 man squad trying to blitz a pile of jobs in a day would be demented tbh, you have to really nurture your customer and leave the place the way i said i would, lovley stacked logs cut to the size they require and chip all raked out and lovely. I only leave chip if it suits, i would never tell anyone to put it amongst small young plants or in their veg patch or anything daft, but if they have a corner of wasted space full of brambles, or under some bigger trees then spot on:thumbup1:

Numb nuts, that is so clearly a racing bike, not a chipper at all.

gloria has been brought out of the shed after a month off over chrimbo, she has been on top form this week and today saved us a power of dragging, i was unsure how she would handle dense sitka but as usual she was awesome, if scott could just stop shoving just a little bit earlier to let the revs stay up. first vid is of the drag we would of had, you can see my van in on the street, there were some steps and a gracel drive aswell:sneaky2:

 

 

End of vid , Giza lunge :lol:

tracked gloria is very handy for off roading and steep gardens, but not as nice to the grass compared to the wheels. i do training in the gym to make pulling gloria easier, when i got it i couldnt get it into my container:blushing:my strenght was like a little girls:laugh1:
