Chipper Jinma pto chipper ready to buy!!

Steve_Taylor · Jul 25, 2005

I bought mine from Coldwater Tractors, Inc. tractorimporter@yahoo.com
They are in Oregon I believe, shipping was reasonable to me in CA but you could email them for a quote to ship to you.
I love the chipper, it's worked great!

Go with the Jinma. I just used mine last Saturday and when I was done I had a pile of chips as high as my 65hp tractor!

I paid around 1500 and picked it up. Not sure about the price increase, couldn't say. I will tell you with the Jinma you get features that would cost 3x as much for a hydraulic feed version. The quality and versatility (chip size etc) will be higher with an american made chipper, but if you just want chips, you don't care what they look like, and you want something that handles the 6" material, the jinma is it.

I always want to look something over before I buy - Anybody know a Jinma dealer in Michigan?

I have found a farm-pro model which is a Jinma, are they the same quality machine etc? Price is 1299, and the shipping is about 200 it is from homier. Is this a re-man hunk of you know what that was returned etc?

I am looking for a chipper that is i-match compatible. I want it to work on my John Deere 4720 with out a bunch of modifications. I want out of the box. I know, it might be too much to ask.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

The more I look at the Jinma, it seems to make the most sense. For the price savings, I can jsutify taking my i-match setup off the few times I use it.

I am in S Illinois, I got my Jinma from Starlight Tractor in Loyd's Knob IN. 812-923-0074. The price was in the range posted in the thread. I am totally happy with mine. It took a few hours of fine tuning after I got it home, but it is well worth the effort. It is crude but functional.

If top selling implements of all kinds of implements in years 2004&2005 are listed, I think, this Chinese wood chipper comes first.

The Jinma chipper has worked good for me except for...

Go to Advance Auto and get a 38517-17385DR (38.5" long 17mm wide) $5 drive belt to replace the crude Chinese banana skin belt that comes on the Jinma feed roller pulleys. This belt is a little longer than stock which helps reduce the sharp angle placed on the square drive knuckles, by moving the right-angle worm gear box back some. You can run the stock belt until your first jam, then it will dissintergrate. You also want to change the gear lube in the worm gear box at this time. The stock oil looks like they poured in used motor oil! I could see metal fines in mine. I was glad to flush it out. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I changed my oil too. I thought it was empty because I couldn't see it in the sight glass. It was full to the top. It also had a few breakin bits and pieces in it. I found a sight somewhere that told about doing some fine tuning to the drive shaft for the feed roller. I took mine out and found that the square drive on one end was too long and putting pressure against the socket and retaining ring. A few hits with the die grinder and fresh grease did it.
