I am looking to select a mechanically driven PTO 8 inch
chipper for my New Holland TC35.
I have seen one, painted green, obviously imported but with no manufacturing identification.
It has a control to disengage the log drive and one to lift the feeder roller.
Can anyone identify this
chipper.
I would identify it as something painted to match John Deere.
If you would like advice on selecting a
chipper give more details please.
How important is cost?
Will this be used in a business where down time is $$$ or Harry Homeowner where if you need a new belt or knife you can wait a few weeks?
Do you demand perfection or can you put up with solid but ugly welds?
Do you want direct drive or belts?
I think an 8" is going to be too big for your tractor. More like a 4".
My 18 PTO HP
B7610 could just barely run my 8" Jinma, my 42 PTO HP
M4700 ran it like a breeze. I think a 30 PTO HP tractor will run most import 8 inch square throat chippers.
And not all "8 inch chippers" are built to the same "8 inches", if I remember correctly the 8" throat on a
chipper is not always 8". For example the Wallenstein "throat" for their BX62S (called a 6"
chipper") is 6.5" x 12". It can take a 2x12. My 8" Jinma is 8" x 8", it can't take a 2x12. That rectangular throat could help a lot with typical forked branches etc. On the Jinma chippers the only two differences between the inch model and 8 inch model was the size of the hole cut for the throat and the price, all other parts were the same.
For your listed tractor I think an 8 inch Chinese (Jinma, Value Leader) or Chinese/modified (Woodmax) would work or a 5" Wallenstein or equivalent
