    Chipper isn't going to be home made just the way of powering it will be.... So all the actual chipper components will be exactly the way it was manufactured. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Closest reply to my thought process on doing it, not heard of an overload clutch I guess it's just some sort of friction slip plates so if you overfeed the chipper but the tractor can take it something won't go bang. Overrun clutch definitely as takes a lot of stress of stuff as you drop the tractor revs. You don't by chance have any picks of collar so when I go to fabricators I can show them what I'm on about? Better get set on pulling it all apart and get some pictures up as we go. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

    If it was a 8 series possibly but a 6... Too small Would really like either of these but no funds free as upgrading the tractor. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262689682277 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262689686887 Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

    To go directly onto the fly wheel shaft or Sit below it and run belts? I've noticed some chippers like the farmi 260 are directly driven where others like the to have belts, I guess keeping the pto shaft angle correct is going to be key? Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Far as I can tell everything is turning in the correct direction so no need for directional change, remembering back to a conversation I had many years ago with someone from Fletcher Stuart about this machine the 1st time I owned it (15 years ago) it's a shisling chamber that originally would have been pto driven but quickchip bought them and fabricated everything ells onto it to make some of the early tow behind machines.

    I've had a old quickchip 222 in the back of the yard for a few years now with the intention of rebuilding it with a better engine but the more I look at it the less it seems worth the bother as engine is knackered, turntable is seized, hubs brakes and tires need replacing and draw bar is well knackered. But the chipping chamber, hopper, spout and rollers are all fine so today started thinking of slicing it apart and building it up on a frame to become a handy pto machine to go out with the valtra, hopefully carrying it on the front to site with the botex behind then swap over to work. Question is........ To attach the pto do I get a shaft welded directly onto the pully and run a overrun clutch pto shaft onto this or fabricate a bairing mount to keep some way of running the 3 drive belts it currently has to gear up the speed from the engine. Any pictures of how other people's machines are set up appreciate or links to sauce any parts. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Ceaftsure, I had some with them for when I did a few local shows with carvings and chainsaw milling while I was still employed, not a lot of money I seem to remember. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Both but mostly kidney pain if hanging in the harness, I really wanted to like it but just couldn't get comfortable in it. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Anyone had any experience of this brand? My yard landlord is looking at getting a small 1 to go on a 35hp compact to be used mostly as a shredder with the swinging hammers to deal with the large volumes of garden waste his wife produces. Or has anyone got any suggestions of similar shredders? Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

    They do look good, got some fro utv products and seem ok so far, like said a goodcluster high up makes a difference to the amount of shadow and put 1 small light inside the splitting chamber to light up where the action happens really can make a difference.

    Harder to say that with pump fuel as you are buying a product intended for many applications but the likelihood of you getting a pre mixed fuel intended for motor Manuel equipment and putting it into a road going vehicle is very unlikely so why pay that tax?

    The irony is If we weren't paying Road fuel duty on top of everything else on aspen it wouldn't be as expensive Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Nope, not sure at all but was quite pretty in its own way, on an ash pollard if that helps anyone. Will get some pictures of beech when we do it, got a crawler with 50ton winch coming to click it over so I can leave a substantial hinge in the toes as think that'll be all that's holding it.

    Was strange today as someone about 6 doors down from me was cutting a hedge with pump fuel and even at that distance is stank to me after so long on aspen, wife also remarked she didn't miss me coming home smelling like that but also pointed out it's now a more obvious man smell than fuel stink.
