I don't know about the Jinma, but my Bush Hog / Goossen blows too hard and blows the chips out of my wagon. I am planning on adding some mesh sides and front about 5 feet above the wagon sides to keep the windstorm contained.

I had a look at a Jinma chipper at a dealership a few days ago and was impressed by its sturdiness - nice big flywheel and blades that looked as if they'd resist damage. I thought the discharge from the fixed chute could reasonably be handled with a hood custom made probably from heavy duty canvas, pop riveted, which could be draped into a trailer. The chipper had some limitations but I thought it was great value.

The spout on my 6" is fixed, but has a flap to direct the flow of chips up and down. You can also unbolt (4 bolts) and reverse the chute so it blows 180 degrees from the standard mount.
I think it would be relatively easy to fabricate an adjustable chute and I'm surprised nobody has one for sale.
That said, I tried to fill my RTV with chips and it blows them everywhere and made a huge mess in the cab. It is much easier to create a big pile on the ground and then shovel it in the bed with a snow shovel.
At standard PTO speed, it will blow the chips 20 or 30 feet if the flap is wide open.

The answer is yes - provided you are willing to do a little pushing with a pitchfork if you want the wagon heaping. Some of the chips will blow over the sides unless you stick a piece of plywood or something in the wagon as a backstop, but by adjusting the spout down it isn't that bad.
I have both and have used chipper to directly fill the wagon (trailer actually) one time. After that I realized it was just as easy to blow all the chips in a large pile and use the FEL to load the wagon. My current primary chip pile is about 15' x 10' x 6'
The chipper knives still seem very sharp (I have very carefully run my finder along them) - be prepared to modify/fix the feedroller driveshaft u-joints. They are of a poor design (rounded square ball and socket) - I finally stripped one of mine after about 20 hours of chipping. I'm going to weld on a 1/2" impact swivel from Harbor Freight to repair it.
I also had to modify the toplink attachment bracket to fit my Speeco Quick-Hitch.
Overall I'd say the chipper is a great value despite several minor shortcomings.

My son has a 12' long dump trailer he pulls behind his truck. The sides are about 5' tall. I have filled it with my Jinma chipper. It is about 6' wide, so I could aim the chute and keep 99% of the chips in the bed. I have read the tips on modifying my Jinma and did all of them and a few more of my own. It has worked flawlessly since. I started out using a 33hp tractor and have sold it and now have it on a 24hp. With the massive flywheel , it still works great. If I chip a full size limb it will loose a little speed, but I rarely chip that large.

I attached a length of 6" sewer pipe to fill the garden wagon for my riding mower.

rswyan,
how did you modify the chipper for your speeco hitch, i am in the proccess of trying to adapt all my 3pt attachments to the speeco. a photo or description would help get me started in the right direction. glenn

Cut off the ears for the toplink bracket, weld in a piece of 3" x 2" 1/4" wall tube, weld the ears back on at an angle to lower them to the height I have my Quick Hitch top hook set at. See attached.
I have a hydraulic toplink on my B2910 - in order to hook up the chipper I must retract it all the way, engage the lowerlink hooks on the chipper's lower pins by lifting them, and then extend the toplink so the the hook on the Quick Hitch is lined up with the pin hole on the chipper toplink bracket, then insert the toplink pin/bushings. This procedure is neccessary because even with lowering the toplink bracket on the chipper (so that it meets the upper most position possible on the toplink hook on the Speeco) there is not enough clearance to lower the toplink link to get under the toplink pin on the chipper if it is instaled on the chipper, due to the pulley guard on the chipper. It's not 100% Quick Hitchable - but for me the hardest part of attaching 3PH implements are the lowerlinks anyways.

Make sure that you check all your implements for their top pin heights - it will take a little figuring to determine which position of the top hook will be the best given the implements you have - for me it was having the top hook in the uppermost position.
