Chipper

[Mike_Kanzer]

I have the TPH-122 mackissic chipper/shreader for the last 6 years and have had no problems with it. I run it on an L3830 (30 hp PTO). It does a great job partucularly with the shreading. The only thing I don't like is that it outputs the chips below the machine so you periodically have to clean them out or else they build up under the belt wheel and discharge area. Otherwise great machine - enjoy it! - Mike

I have been using a Wallenstein BX40 behind my B7100 for several years. It works well for use around the house up to 3" diameter oak. Pine and soft wood goes right through. Could I use more HP sure but this works very well for me.

I was going to ask about a chipper for my CC/Yanmar 2400 with 16.5hp at pto. Seems that is be a little light

Best thing about 3-pt chippers is that there are no wires or belts for pesky mice to chew on. Here's an inside look at mine.

I run this BearCat chipper on my 1950 Ford 8N. No horsepower problems, but it is heavy. Quality is good and it works well. You would have to look and see if they have smaller chippers. Philip

The wallenstein BX32 is probably a good match for your tractor. There's some youtube videos of smaller tractors using it if you want an idea of performance. I'd also check the 3 pt lift capacity to make sure you can lift it easily since they're heavy units.

Thanks for the heads up. Specs say 650lbs lift.

Should be good then, that model should be well under that. Mine's the bigger one and i think it's 600 lbs

Well I picked up my Mighty Mac this morning. And I think it is a good match for the 1860. I tried it out this afternoon. Think I'll keep it. I tried to cheat a little on the RPM's. Bad move. Had to Bring it up to get the 540 But it really did the job. Tried out everything up to 3". The 1860 or the Mighty Mac never slowed down.The 3" does have to be trimmed to get it to the chipping blade At allmost 300# I think that would be close to the limit Weight wise. Thanks Tony

Where do the chips discharge at? On the ground? Philip.

Yep, and they do add up fast, so you have to stop chipping and either move the tractor or pull them out.

Tony,

Make sure you wear a long sleeve shirt if you load stuff into the top hopper. It pulls the stuff really fast into the shredder and can scratch you pretty good. Also I added some padding to the top lip to reduce the pain on your arm when the hammers pull the material into the hopper before you can let go.

Yikes, thats allot of work. I paid a little more money, but I never have to move chips off the ground. With discharge chute, you can blow wherever you want (fence line, drainage ditch, low spot in field), or blow in back of pick-up truck for disposal at a different site. Philip.

I bought a discharge bag but I am waiting for one part to mount it, so have not used it yet. From the size of the bag and what I chipped yesterday it will hold a lot. The bag is about 48"Lx30'W.I would like to take the chipper to the pile and dump the chips where I need them. I will let you know how that works out. Maybe it won't we'll see.

Tony,

What I do it to take the metal baffle plate door off (see part # below) and mount it below and put my Vermont Cart next to the chipper. I then blow the chips into the cart. I sometimes put a tarp under the chipper so any chips that fall I can just pick up the tarp and dump the them in the cart.

Here is the cart I have Carts Vermont :: Garden Carts :: Large Garden Cart


The baffle plate is part 900-0010
