L3010 PTO Chipper

[moot]

I just purchased this tractor and am another 'newbie'.
I cut a lot of pine down and now have a mess of tops, branches, etc. to chip. I am looking at an 8" pto chipper from PTO Chipper Shredder - PTO Wood Chipper, Autofeed Wood Chipper & Tractor Driven PTO Chipper

I have not been able to find any specs on the L3010, i.e., hp @ pto

Anyone have any experience with this combo?

I think an 8 inch chipper is way big for that size tractor. I would get the 6 inch model and even that is big if you plan on running 6 inch material through it. If you just plan on running some small 1 - 4 inch branches through it then either model would probably work.

Thanks. I was only planning on running 6" max. through the 8" chipper.
Do you happen to know the hp @ the pto of the L3010?
Can you recommend a chipper that will work well with the L3010?

If you clicked on my Tractor Data link in the post above it has the info.

I will repeat it here -
Tractor power:
Engine:30 hp [22.4 kW]
PTO (rated):25.5 hp [19.0 kW]

With only 25 at the PTO I think 6 inch material would probably stall the tractor. If the chipper has a controlled automatic feed you may be ok as that should enable you to stop the feed when the tractor RPM's come down.
