Mobile Chipper

[JAK5]

There is a new type of off road chipper out there now. It is a lot more mobile and agile than a tracked machine. It goes to the material instead hauling all the material to your chipper. It works good for right of way clearing and biomass harvesting.

Where can a person find more information?

This is the one I'd like to have , I'd fit a Diesel engine to it and tow it behind my excavator . I could then snap the Camphor Laurels off with the grab and feed them straight in .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IWPmuBXR10&feature=related Trying to find information on them or if you can buy them in Australia is near impossible . It took some time just to find out i had to Google for Traktor Hackmaschinen instead of Tractor chipper .:D

Well if that is the case.
Available in America http://www.constructionequipment.com/newProductsDetail/CA6266396.html?taxid=8567
And i guess this is the new improved version http://www.banditchippers.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=123&itemId=66
Now you can use it like a robot while you run the excavator.

Yes I would say this is an improvement on the tracked mobile chippers. Much more manuverible. The unit fits on a stanard drop deck lowboy without needing special permitting. The machine is built by K2 Manufacturing in Michigan. They also build other logging equipment.

Welcome to the forums, Jak5. :)

I think what Ironhorse is thinking, while being too polite to say it directly, is that the members will tend to trust you more if you disclose your affiliation with a vendor or manufacturer right from the beginning, rather than waiting for somebody to ask you...

[JAK5]

Duely noted and my apologizes... I participate by my own doing. Not on behalf of the company.... I own an excavating & logging biz so I like to converse with people with the same problems I have on daily. Because we couldn't get what we wanted for equipment we began to build it instead.

[digger242j]

I'm sure your apologies are accepted.

Happy to have you here. :)

Thank you digger242j , you explained that better than i could have .

JAK5 , it's good to have you here . We have people soliciting sales from time to time which is against HEF rules .

I hope my query didn't offend .
