Chipper Got my chipper

[Bill Barrett]

Got my chipper Friday from Jinma Dealer, Wood Chipper , Compact Jinma Tractors, Ronald is a great guy to work with.
I bought the Jinma, pre-serviced by Ronald, with extra blades. Took me 1.5 to 2 hours to uncrate, install base, discharge chute, and hook up to tractor.
Ran fine as shipped, put in 2 hours of hard chipping Saturday with out any troubles.
I was surprised how well it worked on small branches, and how quiet it is.
I'll add some pics of it working soon,

Congrats! Sweet machine. I received my Bearcat chipper last weekend but haven't had a chance to try it yet. I'm not hopeful it will be overly quiet like yours, but oh well. My biggest worry is that I have a lot of dry wood around and I understand chippers don't do very well with dry stuff.

So you said it was "pre serviced". What does that mean, are the issues that have been mentioned on this site dealt with before shipping?

Congrats and good looking unit.

Ronald changes the oil in the gear box, grease jerks, and maybe the set scews.
Adjusts the blades, belts and such.
So it's pretty much ready to go to work.

I ran some pallet lumber ( no nails or staples) pretty dry, it seemed to like that.

I do not recall ANY one EVER saying a chipper was quiet!! Almost always I have heard the exact opposite!! Are you sure you were chipping or were you just standing there making chipping sounds? Like my son, who was sitting ont he tractor today and pretending to drive it around.

LOL, guess it's all relative! Better than the power company one.

I am jealous.

For an extra hundred bucks, Ranch Hand servicing the chipper sure seems the way to go.

I am SOOOO tempted to get one, but I am concerned my little 1510D Yanmar won't have enough power (19hp engine, 14.5hp pto) even though all I'd run through it is 1/2" stuff anyways.

Just yesterday the fiance tells me she wants to put down a bunch of mulch. I'm looking at my brush pile in the distance as I ponder paying for mulch. What is wrong with this picture!!

Keep us posted on how it works. There are a couple Jinma chippers in my "neighborhod" and both owners love them.

If your 1510D can handle 800 lb's hanging of the the 3 point ??? I think you could chip of to two inch ok. I base that opinion only on selling to others that stated they had around 20 pto hp. You may have to knock the feed drum out of gear on some hard stuff and let it catch it's breath depending on how long the limb is ??

Maybe one of your neighbors will let you hook up to theres and see??

I am going to try one of them out. What's the balance on one of these like? It's not so much the weight, but the Arm (length of the center of mass from the rear axle) that would concern me. 800 lbs on the lift, not a big deal. 800 lbs 5' behind the axle = wheelie time.


I want one so bad I'd consider a junk 2wd bigger tractor, but then the lower priced units with their own engine start to look good.

I know my neighbor LOVES his (5 miles down the road from me), and puts a lot of hours on it...

 

[Bill Barrett]

dieselgeek, it's not 5' out there. I have it off right now or I would measure for it you. Ronald probably knows off the top of his head.

I initially ran my chipper on a YM-1500D, it worked fine on level ground. But small slopes and potholes and ruts caused an extremely high pucker factor, it just felt too top heavy. Now with it hooked to an orange L-2250 (26hp) with a wider spacing on the tires, I feel safe toting it almost anywhere.

How much do one of these run? You can ballpark it.

I have the standalone type now, however being able to 3pt it, rather than setting into the bucket and drive it out to the back acres, take it out of the bucket,,, you get the idea.

Depends on who you purchase from,..... Warranty etc.....

I sell the Original Jinma PTO chipper and stock parts.

I sell 99% of them serviced and ready to put to work.

Here is my selling price .....
