Hi all, Just returned back from a day in the our woods (small forest may be a better description
).
Anyway, picked up a nice little PTO chipper/shredder recently for use on the B7100 & B8200 with the purpose of making our own mulch and chippings, also to try and keep the wild wood managed a bit better.
Purchased this low usage 2nd user model as it had a good reputation for build quality and performance on lower HP tractors, and all parts are readily available.
It uses high quality heavy duty bearings etc and grease nipple points everywhere to keep it lubed up properly.
Having used it on 3 occasions so far for the best part of 8 hrs a day, it has proved to be an excellent piece of kit.
The chipper can handle upto 4 inch timber and the shredder will tackle upto 15mm inc twigs,straw, leaves etc anything that will mulch down.
2 bladed chipper makes nice small chippings & shredder with 54 hammers makes excellent mulch.
Its gravity feed but with the way its designed and the blade shape etc it draws timber really well,,sometimes a bit too quick so allway need to be monitoring what is being put through the mill as they say.
It works really well on our B7100 with th D850 engine and can handle without bogging down the engine speed etc upto 3 inch timber, when running from the B8200 it will tackle 4inch with ease.
Nice quick easy hookup to the pto aswell, all in i think its a great purchase and i have allready chipped up a small mountain of wood chippings & mulch for use later in the year.
The only thing i would have liked on it would be a discharge shoot for using to fill a trailer etc, as it discharges at the side onto the floor , not really a big issue to be honest i just put a big tarp down first to collect it all onto.
Certainly worth the money in my view.
