Hey. I've got some options for old used chippers. I've owned a bandit 90xp in the past and loved it. I've since moved to another state and started another company part time. I've discovered it's quite difficult to go back to stomping brush after owning a nice chipper for years!!
Here are my questions-
Chuck and ducks- I've never used one. Are they worth owning? There is a decent looking 6" with a Wisconsin going for 1800 around here.
On the other end of the spectrum are a few retired utility company Bandit 200xps like this one going for 5-6k. They are fairly rusty with high hours. I've got an old f350 dump. Are they too heavy to regularly and safely tow? I'm not afraid of a little mechanical work but I don't want to be unsafe with weight.
There is a Morbark 2070 available from the local rental company for 4500. It's probably from the 90's prior to the xp twister models. I'm having a hard time finding information on these. Does anyone know about these models? I plan on asking to demo it.
Thanks for any advice you guys can send my way!
Mike
