Liberty Chipper??? Jinma???

Anonymous-0 · Jan 3, 2010

I've been researching chippers that I can run on my Ford 860. Many of you guys have helped with questions so far. I am SURE I don't want a gravity chipper, but am not really liking the price of the hydraulic chippers either. One alternative I have found is a 6" Liberty. It looks alot like a Jinma. In fact, when you do a Jinma search, it comes to Liberty site. Whats up with that??? It says they have reengineered them. It is a power feed with 5 belts. Anyone have one ( a Liberty) ? Do they work well?

Friend of mine has one. Likes it a lot, but he bought it from Texas, the guy down there sets them up right. Made in China, but for the money, it's a good unit. For my use, I'd just as soon compost stuff, rather than chip it up. But maybe I am lazy....

The price is certainly attractive but if you do a search some people have had problems. I would worry about parts and it might be more difficult to match up substitute parts such as hydraulic components. Did briefly consider one. We nearly bought a Wallenstein PTO unit with self contained hydraulic drive. We wanted the self contained drive so that it could be used on several tractors, some which only have 1000 psi hydraulics. Advantage to PTO was not having another engine to maintain and it would be difficult for others to borrow and abuse. However decided to purchase a self contained unit because thought it would be easier to sell if we ever finished or just plain got too old or tired to use. Found a low hour good Vermeer unit that had two previous owners, each which used it clear a small piece and were finished.
