The Hardmet Landforce Chip range of dedicated towed wood chippers offers four machines with powerful Deutz diesel engines - from 27hp (20.1kW) to 54hp (40.2kW) - which give reliable power, all day. They have twin hydraulic feed rollers, for fast, strong and effective handling - but they'll also close to feed a single blade of grass!
Simon, tree surgeon If you're an arboriculturalist, tree surgeon, contractor or hire company, a Chip range chipper is the machine for you, offering flexibility where it's needed. Chippings can be used as mulch or to reduce material volume for off-site disposal. Designed for lower noise operation, the chipper lacerates the incoming material to reduce volume and promote rapid decomposition. The flywheel chipper on all models is fed via hydraulic powered rollers that automatically cut the feed to the chipper when the engine speed drops below a preset limit, reducing the chance of blockages.

Chip 135The Chip 135 is an ideal machine for the jobbing groundsman who clears trees as well - its135mm capacity is enough for most work of this type.Chip 165The Chip 165 has the power to handle larger tasks, with its 165mm chipper capacity, but is still easy to move and tow. The flexibility and easy handling, along with reduced noise levels make this machine ideal for the domestic customer applications. Even a small domestic car could pull this machine, so for the jobs such as clearing normal 6" trees, tree pruning or damaged bough removal, it performs excellently.Chip 200On the Chip 200, the 200mm (8") capacity chipper gives this machine the power to handle larger tasks, making it the perfect option for Grounds Maintenance/Landscaping businesses. They are very robustly built, and we'd recommend a heavier vehicle or a small 4x4 to pull them. They are targeted at the tree surgery markets where larger timber may be encountered. Power and reliability make these serious workhorses for the all-day professional.You can see this machine in action to the right, making short work of some silver birch saplings and branches! Chip 235The Chip 235 really does cater for everything - the 235mm (9½") capacity chipper and 54hp engine make this machine the choice of the serious professional. It was labelled 'The Destroyer' by one customer as it "destroyed" everything they put through it! It has power in abundance; it chips large section timber as easily as the small brash - and yet it will accept right down to a single blade of grass, unlike so many of the large machines in this market.Machine-specific specificationsChipper capacityChip 135 - 135mmChip 165 - 165mm Chip 200 - 200mm Chip 235 - 235mm EngineChip 135 - Deutz 2 cylinder 27HPChip 165 - Deutz 2 cylinder 30HP Chip 200 - Deutz 3 cylinder 40HP Chip 235 - Deutz 4 cylinder 54HP WeightChip 135 - 1200kgChip 165 - 1220kg Chip 200 - 1250kg Chip 235 - 1260kg Cutter blades systemChip 135 & 165 - 6 chipping cuttersChip 200 & 235 - 9 chipping cutters Click here to request more information on the Chip range. |

New transit securing system for the safety arms The transit securing system, to eliminate rattle on the safety bars and reduce microswitch damage, is available as standard. ManoeuvrabilityOversized jockey wheelWe use only the larger, oversized jockey wheels on the equipment as it eases manhandling and manoeuvering.

Wow - what a bit of kit!
It just destroys anything my lads put into it - built in the Jeremy Clarkson school of thinking, ie built to be thrown off cliffs and still work at the bottom!
Work is on the up so have just ordered another.
