How to move a broke down tracked chipper?

[Scott Walker]

Probably safer there than back at the yard. Not dissing your yard securaty whatsoever.

 

That's exactly what I thought at the time Marc.

Always thought how screwed i would be if the tracked chipper broke down in the middle of nowhere! how would you move it, as in could you winch it onto a trailer? would it even move or would it knacker the hydraulics?

 

I would spend the time and get it running.

They cant be towed/ dragged has the track motors lock , there is a sequence to unlock the motors which losses oil so spill kit needed and left to a competent fitter or follow manufacturers handbook .

My Kobelco has a few pages in the manual explaining and pictures to follow .

Blew the head in a Kwikchip and didn't have enough flow from our hydraulic pack to move it ( I think)

Replaced the engine, for the above, in the clients back garden.

Im talking no access for a lift, can they be dragged without damaging it? would the tracks lock up?

 

Looks like you have two options, winch it somewhere by inches if the ground conditions suit..

 

Fix it....

 

 

OK, just thought of a third way, two pieces of plywood in front of it, greased up.

winch onto plywood platform, then winch that on a trailer...

or just stick loads of grease on trailer an loading struts..

 

If the Egyptians did it like that, then so can you...LOL..
