Dont cry, just do it
Frankinstined my chipper today
I want a new chipper with a winch but its not in the budget right now. So I made some little mods to my chipper today. I bought a 2000lb winch on sale at harbor freight for $50, made a bracket for the rollers and bolted/ wire it up to the chipper today. I know, I know. Its not a real chipper winch, but I thought I could at least use it to pull the limbs / logs that 3 or 4 guys could move with it to the chipper. My chipper is only a 12" chipper so nothing will be too big of a piece. I am gonna be the only one that runs it. I got a 10' remote. The only thing I will have to be carefull of is that the feed rollers are in neutural because I dont want to suck the winch cable into the chipper.
