Saginaw Bay Area - Michigan | I have the same chipper from a different brand. Works great. The feed rollers are a must. Will take 8" tree, but if it's green/hard, you are going to work it.
We run it on our 4030 (80HP) and nothing stops it.
Run it on a Ford 8N and you can only do about 3" stuff without playing with it.
60HP would be about ideal.
We have chipped 5 yards in a couple hours. Usually try to position the output into a dump trailer so less clean up.
Definitely some effort required to get the material to the chipper, 'cause, hey, you are dragging trees/branches to it.
Not sure what volume you want to run through it, much better off with a self contained unit if you need to get serious. We use it for yard clean up and minor fence line work - say 3-5 full grown trees at a time. |
