Back yard chippers

thats a real nice chipper treecycle, now you just need to get powered chute rotation and you will be set.

Great chipper treecycle, get a powered shoot, reprofile it, built a kind of cowling around it, paint the whole thing dark green and it would look like a tank! Very cool!

Why not get a little 9" diesel and get a 4x4 F-250 / 2500 with a dump insert? You should be able to fit into ALOT of yard with that setup. Like John said even if you get a little self-propelled chipper you still need something to chip it into......



Thats a really neat machine "treecycle"!!!

Stihl, I already have a 2500 and a 6'x10' dump trailer.....my plan was to get a back-yard chipper and I could put it on the trailer to take it to/from jobs. If the cust. doesn't want the chips I can just chip into the trailer. If they want the chips, I can just take the chipper to the brush and chip into the yard/woods. Plus, I've got very limited storage for big equipment. The back-yard chipper can be kept on the trailer.

OK. If thats how you want to do it. I personally though would've sold the trailer & gotten a little 10" diesel. Trust me when I say that 4" is a BIG difference and DIESEL is ALL the difference in the world. But whatever works for you. And with what you already have its not a bad idea.

4" in monumental size difference with chippers too.

This ones a little big in width for back yards for around here but its getting there for mobility. This ones weights 1200kgs so is to heavy, has a chipper and shredder (which apparently will eat wood with nails, small stones, palms etc)2nd Pic is of shredder head
