Chipper Jinma chippers

Dougster,
Just seems curious that there are several different pallet sizes, some wood based, some all steel...and a couple different styles. Just pays to keep your mind open to the fact that we MAY be seeing chippers from more than one source. Kind of like the black trailers that are made and sold here in the U.S.
I have no clue if any are made better than the other, probably depends alot on what kind of mood the worker is in that particular day.

Dougster, If you get one, and don't mind, I'd like to see it in operation. We don't live too far apart.

Well, son of a gun... It appears that I just "won" one on eBay a few minutes ago! Holy cow! I thought I'd be overbid for sure! Where were all those interested bidders from last week?

So... You can not only come down to see it! You can come down and help me put it together! Looks like it's going to take a while to get here though... the seller is now stating that he is out of town for the next week or so.

Well, as you can see from my previous post... looks like I just accidentally "won" one of the dang things. This was a bit unexpected as I had already made an appointment to go look at a used stand-alone chipper later today. Guess I should call the guy and cancel???

Time to pray for me now that I got one of the good ones and not some cheap Chinese copy... ... of a cheap Chinese chipper!?!

OhMyGawd!!!!!!!!

Congrats...on your new chipper. Remember the eye and ear protectors when you get it running. And, no matter how much you like it, don't try to mate with it when it is running........

Thanks Jerry! I'll post a full report after I get it up and running. I'll let you know if there are any clues as to source or brand or differences from what I saw down at the dealership in CT.

I really hope I made a smart move here. I guess only time will tell.

Let me know, I'd be glad to, on a weekend!

I was just stroking ya! I'll have that dang Chinese copy of a Chinese chipper contraption up and running in no time at all. It ships the afternoon of the 11th... should be here no later than the 18th (I hope).

Thanks to you, I've already made Ranch Hand's Chinese chipper set-up and troubleshooting page a favorite! And I've read all the Chinese chipper bugs, quirks and recommendations here on TBN as well. If I can't make this silly thing hum, I'll hang up my mechanical engineer's boots for good!

Thanks JPM. Obviously, you've already got one! Any specific tips for running one off a Mahindra 4110 other than the general tips & lessons learned already posted here?

Mine is going to a depot rather than coming directly here to the house. Assuming I can get my equipment trailer out of my driveway by the 18th (they are rebuilding... more like destroying... my street and it is currently "trapped"), it will be loaded onto my equipment trailer with a forklift at the depot. I'll just need to get it off the equipment trailer and into the driveway where I can uncrate it and assemble it. Seems that the FEL should be able to handle 900 pounds or so of crated Chinese chipper... yes? If too awkward, I can uncrate it right on the 20-ft equipment trailer and take it off in pieces.

I haven't read all the improvements , but in case this wasn't in them, I put a baffle on each side of my feed roller at a steep angle. Here in the midwest the Honeysuckle vines are everywhere. The baffles help keep some of them from wrapping up around the feed roller as the limb goes in.
