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.

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...

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. :)
