Does anyone know of a source for buying a wood chipper that would run off the PTO of my 300U?

Thanks for any comments.

I thought I read a couple years ago in FARMSHOW Magazine that someone used an old hammermill feed grinder for chipping wood. Anyone else remember that? Sure save a LOT of $$$$$$ Most of those old grinders could be had for the cost of hauling them home!

Considering the cost of a new chipper, you might consider renting one. It sure would save lots of $$$.

Saw some at our local Farm Show last winter. A good heavy duty one was $3500 or $4000. It was a dealer who also handled motorize chippers, so any dealer that handles commercial chippers can probably get you one for use on a tractor PTO. Probably cost you about as much as you paid for your 300U. I've seen cheaper chippers, but they look light duty to me, made for a tractor less than 20HP and occassional use. I considered getting one for a while, but I decided it was easier and cheaper to just haul the brush back into the woods at the back of my 40 acres and let nature take its course. If you need mulch, you can buy a lot of it for what the chipper will cost.

Thanks for all your responses.

I will look to see what I can find. I only have 10 acres to play with, and I am in North Florida where we are in the middle of a severe drought. Burning is not an option at present. We are losing many trees to the Southern pine beetle and termites.

I don't burn my stuff either. Just let it rot away. Gives a place for the wildlife to stay. Of course with 10 acres, you are a little more restricted on doing that.

There is a reason for burning. Out here in Idaho timber country, the state keeps back 5% of the sold timber to make sure the land owner complys to the cleanup laws. If your slash isn't stacked and burned, you or your logger doesn't get the money back. Slash piles harbor many insects that are threat to healthy timber. Right now we are having alot of the Doug fir stands sprayed by helicopter for the gypsey moth. The moth also infects the grand fir. That is why they burn. In a semi-arid area, it would take decades for slash piles to rot. We burn in the fall after the rains come again, (or snow) not during the middle of a drought. Just leaving the slash lay on the ground is a real fire danger, and putting every thing thru a chipper is cost prohibitive, because of the labor involved. It takes more than just leaving stuff alone to achieve a healthy forest stand, unlike the propaganda you hear from the enviromentalists who want to stop all logging.

Well, things are a little different here in Tennessee than in Idaho! I'm not against burning, and do burn some of the piles of brush that accumulate. I sold a little timber about a year ago, tops are still in the woods. Five more years and you won't find them. Although there are stands of evergreens in Eastern Tennessee (many of which are dying due to the pine moth) here it is practically all hardwood.

I run a PATU DC-40 with my JD750 (20 HP) no problem. Your 300 oughta run it fine. Takes a 4" stick, manual feed. I've chipped a potload of brush with it, no problems so far.

DR Trimmer/Mowers has one, but sounds like a lot of work. Can't you just stack and burn it?
