I'm starting a small tree service company (mainly removals) in cottage country (Ontario Canada). Most, if not all customers want the wood, and if they don't, their neighbours do.
I looking a purchasing a small used chipper for several reasons;
1. Budget (want to spend between $5,000 - $6,000 usd).
2. Tow vehicle is a small SUV. (Chipper should not weigh more than 2200 lbs).
Some of the driveways I go into are tight and long.
Also, with a lighter chipper I could use my ATV to get it into tight spots.
3. I have no need to chip large material. All pieces 3" and larger I cut into firewood length for the customer, so I am only cutting material under 3".
4. Storage space in garage (security) is limited.
I've been looking at the Vermeer bc625a and more recently the Bandit 65.
I would like to know your opinions on these (or any) of the smaller chippers.
Thanks.
