Tracked chipper set up

[Jim1NZ]

For most of you guys, this set up is simply too small. Here in Europe the main issue is often space or towing allowances or then taxes on heavy vehicles...

So i have a compromise, a small (6 inch) chipper that can drive itself to the tree. It also has a tow bar on the chipper chassis so our tipper trailer can be attached and towed through parks or into the back garden.

I added a link to my website where there are a few more pictures and also a blog post of a few different and interesting setups we saw while working in Switzerland. My website is in German but the blog is in English!

Looks like a handy little unit. How does it work on slopes?

It has a hydraulic track tilt which is great for working on slopes. On slopes of upto 30 degrees i feel comfortable.

Yea exactly, if im feeling lazy and the customer doesn't want the wood, ill just chip everything that will go through. Usually we chip into the woods in parkland areas but in private gardens we will chip onto the trailer and dump in a designated area or remove the chip offsite entirely. Its quite rear for the customer or neighbour mot to take the wood around here!
