Chipper Patu DC40

Capreolus · Mar 3, 2011

I remember reading some comments back in 2010 on this Patu DC40 chipper. I am hoping to acquire one shortly and there was mention of being able to obtain the manual for this chipper via a download. Anyone have any details please. It is the manual feed model.
I am new member in the UK. Grow timber on 10 acres of land, with an orchard and large garden to maintain, plus I do a fair amount of hunting and fishing over here and use my kit on these areas as well. I am fortunate in that I have a very good local machine shop which can make up blades as good if not better than the originals, but a manual would be handy in order to keep the machine well maintained.

Try the TBN search function for "Patu Chipper". There's about 20 or so threads/posts listed.

Thanks Roy. I suppose if I wasn't so dumb I would have done that in the first place.

If you don't have any luck finding a copy of the manual, post back and I'll make a copy of mine and send it to you.

Not having much luck at this moment. I'll keep trying then if I fail, I'll get back to you. Thanks anyway. If you have a copy, is there anything apart from maybe grind angle on the blades which a person with reasonable common sense would not know and need to know. I have other equipment and am old enough to know that I need to grease things etc., but reading up on the Patu it does seem to be a very simple machine, but as well built as you would expect from the Finnish engineers.

PHPaul. I have some relatives and a number of friends down in Sanford. I am a member of the Thompson/Centre Association which has its unofficial HQ in Sanford. Also more relatives up in Dover Foxcroft.
