Just bought a used chipper for my 279D cat skidsteer. Is there a way to operated the chipper without having somebody in the skidstee cab?

    Can we get a picture of it?. First thing that came to mind is setting it up something like this 25 Ton Log Splitter Attachment | Blue Diamond Operational both horizontally as well as vertically, the 25 Ton Skid Steer Log Splitter from Blue Diamond Attachments has a powerful cylinder and can take up to 24" logs to split with ease. www.skidsteersolutions.com

    Have you checked the operators manual. Some machines have a procedure for operating auxiliary hydraulic equipment with the operator outside the cab.

    I run my Bobcat T770 on occasion as a hyd power source. Couple to the Aux circuit, parking brake switch "ON" , seat bar down. Press the Press To Operate and Aux Hyd buttons. The trigger the constant flow switch. When done trigger the constant flow switch and raise the seat bar.
