Adam2 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 We have a fair amount of chipping to do and probably will take a while so thinking to buy a chipper. Maybe buy one and sell in a couple of years when the excess branches are all dealt with. Looking at products seems we can get a chipper for 50mm wood like this Forest Master at £410 But I just came across this which claims 75mm for just £180 Is this "bargain" going to be a pile of cack?

JohnMo Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Hire a decent one, you will only be disappointed, they were only shredding small stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 The 75mm one for £180 says “no ethanol “ 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 6HP for 50mm and 7HP for 75mm. Humm. The cross sectional area of a 75mm circle is roughly double that of 50mm. Doesn't pass the smell test for me but I've never owned one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 It’s only 23” tall …. That would stall the moment it hits something 1” thick never mind 3”..!! Find your local hire place and get a decent one - I pay £75/day for a tracked Lindana TP160 that will swallow 160mm trunks and spit them out as chips .. I reckon we can clear about 2-3 cubic metres an hour of stacked timber. Even a baby Timberwolf will do 100mm with ease and they are £150 a week to hire.

Adam2 Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share Posted June 18, 2022 OK cheers for the advice. Will cut and store then hire and shred! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a waste. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
