Chipper New Jinma 6" Chipper!

[Tim_in_IA]

Here is one of my new tools that I picked up this weekend. Really does a job on the branches. I put 4-5" material through it and it was a real champ! New tractor is due in next saturday after they install the backhoe so it'll probably work even better. The old IH 400 did pretty good though.

last one, this thing really works! Great deal if you chop your own firewood.

Tim, what's your new tractor gonna be? I'm an old Farmall fan myself. As you know, you're gonna have to get a pretty good size CUT to match the guts in that 400. As you also know, I hope your new tractor will last the 50 or so years that that 400 has made it. Question: What kind of 3 pt hitch is that? (Did your 400 come with a 2 pt?) BobG in VA who was thinking about running a chipper with his "measly" Farmall 230 that "only" dynos at 32 HP.

BobG,

My new tractor is a mahindra 6500 4wd with a bradco 511. It is a 65 horse but from what I have read it dynos around 70. It's a little high for the chipper that is rated at 50 but I think as long as I take it easy it will be okay. Based on how it worked with the 50horse 400 it'll be fine. The chipper only slowed the engine down on a piece I would have called a decent tree! It really eats that stuff up!

I think you would be fine with a 25+ horse tractor and this chipper. Small branches dont even make it hiccup. It's the 4" + stuff that makes it grunt a bit.

woops, forgot about your 3pt question. I am not sure of the brand as I bought it used and it has no markings. I thought it was a savinaugh, but it has chain supports where the savinaugh has bars. I really enjoyed the 2 years I had the 400. Just isn't that safe with the old brakes and NF on my hills. The mahindra has wet disc and a rops, and should be a decent bit beefier in the HP category. I'll sure miss the put put put of the smooth 400 though.... [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Tommy,

Will keep that in mind for sure. I would recommend this chipper to anyone who is on a budget but needs the large capacity. It is really working out for me! So much fun to see brush piles turn in to animal bedding and landscaping material!

I did enough yesterday in a couple hours to fill this trailer heaping and 3 large garbage tubs. Sure beats $5/bag or $50 a truckbed full.
