2nd post in this thread I nailed it, thanks.clearance said:Jak, I would get an old Asplundh-Whisper chipper, the duck and chuck. This is a proven machine, lots of them in BC, now people are using them for a backup because diesel self feeders are the way to go, but $40k. Ford six cylinder engine, all metal construction, exposed wiring like on a fishboat, you can get a shute that angles. When they are sharp, they are awesome, probably find one for under $10k in good shape, and a pickup will easily pull one around to do jobs where you can blow the chips into the bush.
omigod those bad boys were screamers even with muffs sick machine fer sureclearance said:Thats a good one Tom, you are right, they just scream. I like ones that are not too beat up, on the chute you can see the rodent with a branch in his hand and his other hand making the Sshhh symbol. I think the 6 cyl is the best one, its the legendary Ford. The v-8s are real thirsty.
Get a 3/4 or 1 ton 4x4 and a Whisper, 4 wheel drive is not over rated and 1/2 tons have no place as a work truck.maxburton said:I have a Bandit 65 that works very well for pruning, and very not well for removals. For me, that's the bottom line. I can get it anywhere with my F-150 that, note, has neither four wheel drive or a limited-slip differential. I believe that those features are overrated, as I have only gotten stuck three or four times in the last two years, and every time I knew it was going to happen and went ahead anyway. A rope puller got me out quickly.
Anyway, the main problem I have with the 65 is that logs I could normally chip have to be hauled, and that everything has to be cut up to fit. It can't break crotches very well at all. I do a lot of takedowns and would like a bigger chipper for them.
More firewood, smaller chips. That's the difference. Brush 6" diameter and smaller get chipped, logs and limbs 6" and larger get bucked into firewood. I run a commercial tree service on this premise.trevmcrev said:I then bought a bandit 65 with 31hp duetz diesel and it was an awsome little machine. There is no tree too big for it..... just means more firewood.
