Hi everyone!

New at the forum even tough not owning a real tractor. As my tractor or "Multipurpose Utility Vechile" serves a modified/rebuilt Suzuki Samurai from 1985. It is mainly used when making firewood and plowing the yard from snow in the winter. Equipped with underbody armour, lowered gearbox ratios, difflock, hydraulic winch and hydraulic power output front/rear. Usability is extended by making additional towable equipment.

Latest build just tested but not finalized - towable chipper

The chipper is the reason for my registration here, it chips fine up to 4" but the self-feeding performance is poor.

In an other post on the DIY thread I will seek for advise on dimensioning of a hydraulic feed system to fix the feeding issue before I paint it.

Welcome! You apparently have excellent fab skills.

:welcome: You brought back 30+ year ago memories when a buddy and me rented two Samarai's to drive around Maui coast line. Some of it over sand and lava. The rental company said absolutely no offroad activity but we were young and too smart for our breeches. Boy did we have fun... haven't seen one on the road in years!!!
