The Clipshoot is attached to the machine and collects the chips while grinding the stump (left photo) and then allows the operator to dump the chip from the controls using the existing hydraulics on the machine into whatever they prefer: Wheelbarrow, Payloader, trailer, etc.
Leonardi Mfg. Co., Inc. launched the first part of this invention at TCIA last year; the Chipshoot allowed the control of the direction that the chips were discharged during the stump grinding process (www.Chipshoot.com) allowing quick and easy clean up by directing the chips into bags or containers for faster removal. Cleanup after stump grinding is quicker and easier. The company has now added a new “upgraded” version—the ChipShoot Powerloader. This is attached to the machine and collects the chips while grinding the stump and then allows the operator to dump the chip from the controls using the existing hydraulics on the machine into whatever they prefer: Wheelbarrow, Payloader, trailer, etc.
The new Leonardi M1 Chipshoot Power Loader does utilize the Chipshoot product, however the Power Loader configuration is a completely new offering that includes an on-board automated bin. The Power Loader bin collects the chips as the stump is being ground and enables the operator to dump the chips where and when they choose. The Power Loader bin uses the grinders’ existing hydraulics for its power system with self-opening and closing door mechanism so the operator controls the bin from their normal operating positions.
