Chipper Home made Chipper Shredder - Sheeps foot

[crash325]

Sure would like to hear from anyone that has built a chipper / shredder and a sheep's foot. I plan on building both in the near future. I do not plan on running it off the 3pt or the power take off. Want a stand alone machine.

Pictures would be great.

Thanks Guys

Try going on the Woods Equipment website and download a couple of manuals. That might help with the chipper/shredder.

I just finished a sheepsfoot, haven't used it yet but will next month and can tell you how it worked.
I started with this.

And finished with this. The tank is about 7ft wide,and 5/8" thick. Its about 2 1/2ft in dia. I used 3" channel for the feet. 2" round bar for the axle. And 6" channel for the frame.
If you have any questions feel free to ask

Thanks Brian,
Looks good and should do the job.
Question: Do you plan on filling the tank? Water / sand or ??

Yes i put a 1" thread plug in the tank and plan to fill it with water when i get it to my lot. I didn't use sand because i will have to trailer it back and forth from the lot to the house and this way i can take some weight out of it. I think sand would be a better choice as it would weigh a lot more.

Here is a thought.........
Replace the trailer tow hitch with a 3pt hitch.
Make up an adapter for a tow hitch if you choose to use that.
Unless it is too heavy when filled.

There is no way my tractor would lift it. Exp. If it was filled with water. The fel had a time lifting the tank off the trailer.

Its not designed to shred any thing. . . Its designed to pack dirt. In the subject line he also asked about a sheepsfoot.
