Here are a couple of modifications that I made to my Jinma chipper:
First is a storage cart. It is a dumpster diving special. I could not have asked for a more perfect fit. I would consider this type of cart an absolute "must have" for anyone that owns this chipper. The chipper itself weighs about 800 lbs and is impossible to safely move when not on the 3 point hitch. When the chipper is on this storage cart it is effortless to move it in the garage on the concrete floor, and a simple matter to hook it up to the 3 point hitch lift arms. Highly recommended!
Next are 2 additions to the chipper itself that consist of a scabbard for my chainsaw and a milk basket for carrying my chainsaw gas can, bottle of chain oil, and other small tools.
The scabbard is made from some 1/2" plywood forming a "sleeve" for the chainsaw bar to slide into. Short lengths of angle mount the scabbard to the chipper body, and are bolted in place using the existing bolts that hold the halves of the chipper together.
The basket is mounted to the top portion of the 3 point hitch. Here short lengths of angle are welded to the hitch, and the basket is clamped tight with some small pieces of flat bar stock.
The angle used for both of these mods is actually some of the crating material that the chipper was shipped in!
I have found that an exact color match for the Jinma red paint color is "Massey Ferguson Red".
