What are your views on this item for general/ occasional use?

 

Would never chip anything more the 6in as use it for firewood, also only to use in my own woodland?

 

Not got much more than that price to spend on Pto chipper to run on little ford 3600

 

Thank you

Never heard of them, sounds chinese, chippers are pretty basic machines really so if you have a reliable dealer and a warranty maybe its worth a punt. but if you can't get parts it could be expensive scrap in a short while. Expect very low resale value too.

 

If you can find one a decent second hand machine in that price range will suffer virtually no depreciation.

Bit of an oxymoron! The discharge chute goes to 360 degrees which violates H&SE! Sorry my friend, don't waste your money. Why does it cost £1,350 when our 9" PTO driven thing is over £10k?

 

I can tell you that to chip 8" effectively, you need a load more than 30hp!

 

Please burn your rubbish rather than loose your money on this!!!!

Seen one at the apf, JUNK!!! stay clear, get a second hand known model.

8" on a 30hp engine seems a little short on power.

 

I think the discharge can only rotate 270 (i think) to meet our hse guidelines which would make me question its CE mark.

 

I'd also wonder how many ponies are left of the PTO of a Ford 3600 i'd expect closer to 30 than 40.

 

From my experience of running a 12" chipper on a 100hp tractor is that it was a big to start the thing. Would stall the tractor trying to spin the flywheel first time. Always second attempt it would start it but it was close.

well I am going to ditch that idea found a Timberwolf TW PTO/100G instead lot more money but i think it will be a better option.

 

thank you all for your replies.
