Chipper Are there bags to catch chipper chips??

[Poacher Hater]

Is there a website that sells bags to attach to the chipper mouth to catch the chips in order to use them where you want?? Any other ideas on this?

The 5 hp chipper I got from Lowes twenty years ago came with a bag. I got a larger bag from there later, so I know at least back then they were available.

My portable self powered chipper came with a mesh bag. Once I threw it in the hopper to store it. Next time I used it months later...yep- forgot about it and started it up and sucked the bag in, jammed it right up
Anyway I found a large mesh laundry bag to use as a replacment.

You can make some bags. I would guess the material will need to be tough suck as burlap, or canvas. I some coco bean bags that would probably work great.

Or, it could be a catcher made of rigid material, like a trash can, or something similar.

I have a Bearcat without a blower that dumps the chips out the bottom. I throw a tarp under before I set it down when I want to collect the chips. Any kind of bag would fill up fairly quickly. As it is chips build up under the chipper regularly so I just raise the 3pt, pull the tarp over a bit and set it back down. When I figure I can still lift it I grab the four corners of the tarp and dump it in a trailer. I tied the box and bag approach and it just seemed to be a PITA -- JMHO

My Craftsman chipper/shredder also came with a nylon bag, so you could probably get one from their replacement parts house.

If your chipper chute comes out the top, you'd have to figure out some way to support the bag, because they are fairly heavy when full.
