Avant CH100 hydraulic woodchipper A415436. Made by Farmi Forest, model 100, feeder F100, power needed 8.5-40 kW, max 175 bar, oil flow needed 30 l/min.
Burning ~1 litre of diesel per hour (~10 kWh energy) to get ~1 m³ of wood chips that's ~250 kg and gives ~1000 kWh of heat when burned, I think it's a pretty good tradeoff.
@@CivilizedSavage I have a general idea and some parts for making a hydraulic feeder to put between the chute and the chopper, but haven't got around to making it yet. The CH180 model with hydraulic infeed costs like four times as much as this CH100. Even a manual infeed lever contraption would probably speed up the stickchoping considerably.
Gravity fed chippers are the worse! Need some hydraulic pulling rollers. thanks for sharing!
is it worth to burn all that fuel to get rid of couple sticks?

Great if you were doing pencils all day
any arborist knows this is a waste of time for most applications.
It's a good thing that I'm not arborist and I know nothing about how timewasteful this stickchopping is :)
@Tarqwak I am, and I can't believe they even bothered manufacturing this.
