Any idea what chipper to use here in California? The bigger the better, but it's got to be legal for the long run.

I did not vote for him, and our new one is worse,,,California is one of the worst places to do business. What I said was to the OP is that if he wants to be legal, is that he will have to be under 50hp or have a tier 4 engine,,,got it?

The chipper was the 'sucka' Jeff. My remarks were clearly directed at Brian and CARB.

I have a 37hp diesel bandit 65xp. No, it's not a production monster, but it processes quickly with a little extra limbing and makes money. Upgrade in a year or two once you have the carb deal figured out...
 
I understood it too. Bonner doesn't pick fights at TH.

There's no law against hippies making laws.
 
I went the "under 50hp" route. Ours is 46hp diesel. We can chip up to 9" limbs with it...though i guess it's only technically an 8" chipper...

Bonner it is? ... I still gotta call them. Long day. Thanks BOTS, good info.
 
Our 72hp Duetz needs a rebuild,,$9000.00. That would take us to January 2014 and a tier 4 engine is what you need to register it. So for 9k to last until Jan.,,or pay almost 14k for a tier 4, 77hp Duetz is common sense here in California and stupid. This state is very business un-friendly.
Here is a pic of the new motor.

It is going on a Vermeer 672 towable stump grinder.
I did some demos, but nothing compared to our beast.
