Yes it was and that didn't stay that way for long [trial & error] Soon after I redesigned the whole unit and lowered the chipper by way over a foot as the later pics show..
That's a good question, every year it seems the new pickup ratings are going up because of better designs. My 2007 Dodge diesel is rated with a GAWR of close to 12,000 LBS. I have installed Firestone airbags on the rear springs. With my class IV hitch I can pull a trailer up to 10,000lbs GTW...
Congrats on the new Morbark M8, very nice. From looking at your pics I remember 10 yrs ago when I bought my Morbark 2060D / 35 hp Wisconson aircooled from the factory. To date have only changed 1 infeed roller spring and only done regular maintence. These machines are bulletproof, also have...

I like the looks of the Morbark Beever M8D with 44hp Kubota diesel if I was to upgrade.
The Bandit XP 65 with diesel and the optional dual infeed rollers would be another good choice. I hear for a 6" disc chipper the dual feed rollers are superior when chipping sappy brushy limbs like spruce.
