Wood chippers

I have a notion of buying a chipper,came across this at just under 2500 euros.
Has independent hydraulics and 2 droven feed rollers.6 inch capacity in theory.
I think its a bit small but it would do to tidy up after firewood has been cut out.
An engine driven would suit me better but I presume the petrol ones are toys and diesel ones worn out in general at handy money.
How are rhe victory ones doing??

4k will.buy a 9 inch onewhich should be a fair bit better than this one.it has no brand which leads me to believe its Chinese, the seller claims its Turkish built.

I know nothing about those; but spare parts would be my main concern; so just make sure you can get parts; hydraulic feed rollers and flywheel bearings will be most common item; oh and blades; make sure to keep ‘em sharp and have spares.
Might be no harm check how difficult it is to change blades??
Make sure stop function works; I wouldn’t touch it if it doesn’t.

If your feeding a lot 6inch will be too small but it’s grand to tidy up if only occasional use

Nearly a year done with my one... No issues, alot of stuff put through it.
In general it's a handy tool to have and to have at your disposal Vs renting, it is handy on the tractor as you'll generally get into ground better than a trailer self driven one I'd imagine.

That's the biggest victory one you bought, 230mm capacity is that right?
How big have you chipped?
What hp does it take?
Will it pull forked branches in?
I think 1 if them might be a better buy for me,the 6 inch one has a narrow enough chute.

It’s hard to get this across; but chute size and feed rollers are what make a big difference in pulling in material;
I couldn’t use a 6 inch myself; it would slow us down too much on jobs. But for home use it’s fine.

But an 8 inch would be nearly twice the machine of a 6 inch in that it will take in bigger forks and bigger stems.
But the feed rollers have to be up to it too.

A ten inch is a different league altogether.

I have a Timberwolf tw190; which is a tracked 8 inch; but the backup from the dealer in trim is fantastic and also Timberwolf; parts easily got; and machine is very simple.
I know some others brands are a nightmare getting parts; like everything; if they sell well the brand is well supported. And what was once a major seller could be a disaster to get parts for now.

Keep your knives sharp; otherwise it puts a lot of stress on the bearings.
Never put palms/cabbage plants through them. I did this time last year and burnt my flywheel bearings.

One tip is to nick limbs rather than fully cutting them off; the chipper will pull them in and the nick lets the feed rollers break the remainder; saves dragging x2-3 times

I haven't really measured any of the biggest stuff I've put through it but Ile put it this way, physically no bigger will fit through the opening 🤫.
Mostly run it on the mythos, 110hp 6 cylinder. 1000 drive at 700rpm at the shaft. Happy medium for economy and performance.
As treemover says below the opening size is key for forked branches.
What I find the worst is pulling in wide branches and then it'll catch the safety bar and throw it back out again. Also the variety can have varied results in what it can pull in. I find some times the feed rollers don't always pull in the material as one of the feed rollers is fully serrated. Both serrated would make a job of it.

Also I find parking on a hill helps for self feeding as the floor of the chipper is flat it tends to hold material, a slight incline means you just throw it into the machine.
I would say there is no comparison between a true professional machine like the timber wolfs and the victory "professional" version. But for occasional agri use it does just fine.
 
Morning all, looking at 2 wood chippers for use around home. One belt driven(woodland mills) the other direct drive (victory) any thought issues with either?
 
So the belt drive on the woodlands only refers to the pump. The chipper is direct drive. And the victory pump is also likely belt drive too.

The woodland mills look to be a nicer finished machine, but the victory has one huge advantage.

The woodland only has one feed roller and the victory has two. That's a real penny pinching measure by woodland, the cost of the pump, tank, plumbing and valving is almost the exact same with one motor or two. adding on the second feed roller makes a big difference to the ability to pull in forked material for the marginal price increase of a second motor, pipes and roller.

Thanks for that, never noticed that when looking at them. How are you finding the victory?

Grand, thinking of upgrading to a feed roller version, it's relatively slow with the manual feed.

Paintwork isnt great, but there's not much to it, two bearigs, disc and a blade

What was the delivery time like with the German sellers? Any issues with getting spare blades if needed?

Not sure if I'd be gone on the belt drive but would probably reduce any shock stress back to the tractor, I like the slight angle on the feed shoot, as said by John boy the single feed roller let's it down.
I think the woodlands infeed shoot is very small. Nearly half the size of the victory... That would make pulling in branches a bit of a pain.
The woodlands comes with a chainsaw holder... I like that.

Thanks, any issues so far with your one?
 
Experts tell me an 8" chipper is twice as fast and easier to get forked branches as a 6".
So the 10" should be much better,the hopper chute should be wider too.
I was looking at this lately and ended up buying a s/h recognised brand 10 " machine rather than new Chinese

No breakages yet touch wood.

Well wear, I will be expecting a photo of a tree trunk a measuring tape and a wood chipper on its knees soon 😆👍
 
Went ahead and purchased the victory in the end, just wondering when the order confirmation/received payment notiifcation is received (for anyone that has previously purchased @Endah @JohnBoy ) always worried about online scams..

I bought a victory basic one about 4 years ago. No issues it arrived by courier about 10-14 days later.
Going fine but tough enough work to feed it.

Looked back on mails from last year, ordered on the 10th of February and arrived on the 19th ..... So not to bad, I know for others it took longer. Can't recall if there was any lag on the initial order mail being received tbh... You'll be grand, plenty of here have bought from them.
 
Bought this unseen in.last weeks portlaoise auction,it was better looking when it arrived home than initially the pictures so happy enough.
Its a 10" machine, hydraulic.feed.rollers are ran from.the tractor hydraulics rather than an independent.system.but for my workload it will be fine.
the seller.did say it needed blades and sure enough it does,they are not there at all though.everything else is.complete.
Anyone any source.for.blades,ideally in Ireland?
there doesnt seem to be a junkari dealer.im Ireland, 2 in the uk.alright but i presume it would be easier to buy from.europe than that.
