chipper fab questions

Recommended Posts

welderman85

I have a baker chipper with a very tired 5hp Briggs on it. I was looking at it the other day and was wondering if anyone has every tried to make a mount and run one like this with a PTO. I will try to get a pic of it up later but its made by simplicity I think and looks like the earthquake ones at tsc. Thanks

Good luck with your chipper mod.....I have a chipper with a Tecky and it needs carb work. I have thought about powering this with one of my Horses.

Oh, and an orderly garage is the sign of a sick mind....I just thought that up!

I'd be interested in seeing the result. That's kind of one of my goals for my D180 down the road. I do remember seeing one somewhere here on Red Square. Front mounted.

Yep, that's the one I saw! Nice job by the way. If anyone has attempted a hook up on the rear of a D using the PTO and perhaps the 3pt I'd be interested in seeing some pics.

I just spent a few days using my MacKissic. Making a mount to attach to the front end and lining it up with the PTO should not be too hard.

Be sure to add a clutch mechanism in case something jams the hammers, or you will melt your drive belt and possibly do harm to your engine.

Don't ask how I learned this valuable lesson....

Mine is belt driven. The clutch is integrated into the pulley that attaches to the drive shaft on the chipper.

THey are still available directly from Mackissic.
