front mounted ducker on 406

[casto]

Just wanted to see what people say about front mounted ducker chippers. I want to mount one on on my 406. I've heard there good but it's always nice to hear from people who have run them.

 

Cheers

They are basically a TP, you will need a blower if you are filling a chip box on the rear of the mog, but with a blower you will easily fill a trailer behind the mog.

 

You need to watch the weight, so really only a 6" I would say.

That's what I wanted to hear!!

 

I've a tp at the moment on one.

Yes the ducker has a blower on so I guess that's a bonus. It's supposed to be 5.5inch any way. Would be great if it would blow I to a trailer as well, would make it a right rig!

 

I'm hoping to fit a crane on the back end if I can find the bits, which will balance the mog out as I'm a bit worried of doing an endo in it!

Your only issue will be GVW, you will be pretty much fully loaded before you get any chip in the box.

Yes true. I'll have to get her on the scales.

Yes true. I'll have to get her on the scales.

 

Dont forget the reversing box for the pto if the chipper has not got it already fitted.

does the tp run @ 540 or 1000rpm on the front ?

No Duckers are built for the front of a mog, so no reverse box needed

1000, why??

1000 speed for chipping back or front
