Chipper Source for Jimna chippers in OH & Fla ?

TOMLESCOEQUIP · Jan 25, 2005

I'm looking into obtaining a chinese (jimna) 3pt chipper & have a bro' inlaw in Fla who may want one also. Tommy in texas has them, but shipping rates aren't really good to go those distances. Anyone know of any closer dealers ?? Thanks............Tom.............PS.........I'm Going to "Powershow Ohio"in columbus this sunday..........I will look around there as well.................

I got mine at Starlight Tractor in Starlight IN. 812-923-0074.
It took a few hours of fine tuning to get it humming perfectly. I am very impressed with it , for the price.

A older contractor friend of mine went with a group of us to hooters once. midway thru our meal, he remarked that he didn't see why people raved about the place...........He didn't think the food was really that great..............another friend nearly spewed a full beer out his mouth, then said "Wow..you mean they serve food here too !! "

I figured on trying to slip out of the office today for a quick peek since it's 2 miles from the office, but could make lunch on Sunday.

How much do they run, and is there any Min. HP requirements?

TOMLESCOEQUIP · Jan 28, 2005

Best price I've seen lately is around $1500-$1600. they'll chip 6" so you'll need at least 25 pto hp or more . Someone who's using one now..............please chime in with your experience on hp requirements & loading.........Thanks.........Tom

Mine was $1550 at Starlight. He included a set of extra blades and anvil. The best price I found was in Arkansas and it wasn't enough less to be worth the drive. I run mine on a 33hp diesel. It doesn't even know it is back there. It does notice the weight though. I have to run ballast on the nose while traveling. I have studied up on them before buying. One person said he used his on a 22hp, and it was all it wanted but would work. I am looking out the window at a wet snow wishing I could get in the yard.

Tommy.......Homier sales ( the fine people who bring us the wonderful chinese tools) were at the powershow OHIO in Columbus. They have a dealer in S ohio who has some. That doesn't help my bro' in law in Florida, tho. I did get to see one at the show............impressive unit for the $$. Do you know how many knives they have, and the replacement cost ?? I don't have time to obtain any chippers now, as I'm heading to Fl tomorrow. I'll check into it more when I return................Tom

I have the Jinma 6 with the roller feed. Its' being used on a L3130 and works good. I have pulled the tractor down a couple times gettin happy with some 6" hardwood just to see what it would do. Just pull the feed lever for a few seconds and go again.

I burn most everything 4" and larger. The tractor and chipper just eat this stuff alive. I recently bought one for $1247 off Ebay from a dealer in knoxville Arkansas, have about 8 hours of chipping time so far. He doesn't have any listed right know though just a couple tractors.

Tom,
Did you ever get your chipper??

TOMLESCOEQUIP · Apr 8, 2005

Hi Jerry !! I ordered 3 from Tommy @ affordable tractor in Texas. The price came out actually a little less than the ones we looked at at the powershow & they were delivered to my shop. Seems like if you get 3 the price of the chippers is a little less & the freight cost is cheaper shipping 3 together than shipping them separately by about 25%. I found a 753 bobcat for my brother inlaw from Fla, so when he comes up in may to get it, he can haul the chipper back then too. I found alot of assembly hardware that wasn't tightened properly, & a few other minor glitches, but overall a good unit for the price. .......Tom
