Owned a few Bandits. Blocked them up plenty of times too. I would say there is nothing to choose between small TW and small Jensen.
-
WHOA! radical thinking steve:001_tongue: It always amazes me how many people dont maintain their chippers.
-
IF its looked after right. a lot end up in tatters after 3 years.

So you dont mind a machine that falls apart quickly? People dont have grandads rights when it comes to using a chainsaw, but see no problem in obtaining the right tickets for that...

Single big roller is far superior to to tiny rollers at breaking down and dragging in material. Jensens feed well when the rollers are new, but because the rollers are cast, the loose there edge very quickly. Notice schliesing junked the cast top roller for a welded steel one? Weight is a big issue, but its pointless having a lightweight machine that falls apart because there's not enough steel holding it together.

Sorry Dave, not at this APF (to damn expensive..) Mike, it will run on any fuel you want. As for the rest, you'll need to consult the extensive options list...

6" class drum chipper for the UK market. 8 x 12" infeed, super heavy duty infeed rollers, and very compact design.
-
We have a TP200 for arb work. And like I say, we're developing our own arb chipper.
-
On the back of the truck, back to the farm and through the big chipper in about 30 seconds.

You think? this is me doing a domestic job...
-
More likely too high a disk speed or infeed roller's to slow. Probably the former.

Infeed Roller POWERRRRR....

For processing ability and efficiency, this one - http://www.dynamicmfgcorp.com/video/585.wmv For tree surgery use, the advanced prototype we're building in our workshop is the dogs bollocks, and will be the best chipper of its type available. (when I finally get round to finishing it) Of other peoples chippers, Jensen are nicely built, or even dare I say it, a Schliesing.... The downside of the two german machines is the extortionate price tag. Greenmech's latest machines have surprised me the most in terms of ability and quality.

It would be even better if it was powered by a water wheel.

That link is about 2 years old, with oil at 38p a litre. It must be nearly 70p a litre now. The site is run by a mate of mine, Kenny Paterson.

oops. just to popular I guess Accurate discription of me though -

How unusual. In my experience, the use of enough explosives can solve nearly any problem.
-
You said it Brother. Unless your doing utility work and need to carry very little chip, a 3.5 tonner is useless for treework (if you wish to remain legal). 7.5 tonners are even worse in a way. A conventional 7.5 tonner will only carry 3 tonnes. Thats why I use a lightweight Merc Vario 7.5 tonner, and built the body to be virtually impossible to overload.

the little Japa I borrow in the video only has the 5 tonne splitter.

I used to go 3 days a week till my kids came along. not been since, although I want to start going again. I do think that if you are climbing daily, gym visits will not make you climb any better.

Hope you laugh as much as I did. Need some staples to reapply the ass I just laughed off... http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=6f9b2_4407

Crikey!

My piont is, the same customer who expects you to leave his garden immaculate, would'nt bat an eyelid at a builder leaving a horrendous mess. Probably would'nt get 10 quotes off different builders either, or be surprised at them charging £200 a day for turning up with a trowel. Suppose I'm just ranting at the building trade.

Very usefull cost comparisons - http://www.nuergy.com/comparison/2graphs.php

Not a tip, but no need to leave it like an operating theatre. I will run the blower round, rake up and make tidy, but I see guys who literally spend hours raking a lawn till not a spec of sawdust remains. Pointless for me, but then I dont chase domestic work
