Chipper Machete Wood chipper

[teach]

Has anyone ever heard of, or know anything about Machete wood chippers? I'm looking at a used one, it is yellow in color, kind of on the small side (chips 3", maybe 4" pieces), 3pt mounted. It is missing a piece on the top, some sort of a spline/shaft (not the PTO shaft). Trying to nail down how to replace that part. I can't find a model # on the chipper anywhere. Its currently mounted and been used on a 16 hsp (not pto hsp) tractor.
Thanks.
Teach

Does it look like this? I'm pretty sure mine is a Machete. It works great. I'm just starting my research for model number, part numbers, etc but it appears they went out of business a long time ago

Wow! Only took a little over 10 years to get an answer!! LOL :laughing:

 

[bearlindsay]

wow. I don't have anything to say for myself.

I'm sorry, couldn't help myself, just thinking about the Original poster waiting 10 years to find someone with a Machete!

And then there is the fact that Teach had only posted 187 times but was on here just this last January, so you just missed him.

Yeah, its a bit embarrassing to learn you just responded to a 10 year old question. Many of us have done it. Not me, of course :mur:

Hey it's been less than two years since last post so it must be OK to post here now!

S&R Pro Chip 2469P is of the same basic design.


Anyone interested & looking for info:

I don't find this a problem.. As long as someone gets useful info to a question they ask.. That is all that matters...

Well, it’s been about 1yr since the last post.
And 13yrs since the first?
I bought a Machete chipper today for $150.
looks like it’s not been used much. But been sitting for many years.
i like fixing old attachments & i can really use a 3pt chipper.
I’m a machinist & welder, so that might help.
I’ll reply back when I get it in usable condition.
hope it won’t be in another year.
Cheers
EDIT: It looks identical to the photo in post #2

I think S&R Pro Chip which I have is very similar to Machete but it has some additions.

Here is my posting about a year ago:

S&R Pro Chip 2469P - knife sharpening

I bought this S&R chipper used back in 1998 and have been delaying knife sharpening for couple of years, due to reluctance of shipping them out to someone not having previously dealt with. Earlier this month I located what looks like very competent sharpening shop close-by and so far am very...

I think Jinma knives will fit Machete & S&R Pro Chip, and may be the only ones readily available - in case you need new knives later.

 

[Mr. Orange]

Arto thanks for the reply, your posts & pics were a wealth of knowledge.
Basically your S&R does look like a dead ringer for the Machete.
I have a couple questions, I hope you won’t mind if I PM you. I promise not to be a pest
I used to be a member here but haven’t posted for so long I had to re-sign up as a new guy.??
