    Down sizing chippers.....good idea?

    Well, we spent the day chipping Ash and Honeylocust. It took everything without having to buck it up. We put several bigger ei, 8-9" branches and it took them fine.... A little slower than what the BC1000 would, but very respectable. It was lighter, quiet, and produced a nice chip. The best part...

    We just finished up the first job with the 900. So far its a pretty nice little chipper. We will see about the rest of the day.

    Down sizing chippers.....good idea?

    We will be demoing the 900 tomorrow. I think you are right about the 9 wide by 14 high which would not be good. The engine only being a 40 hp gasser is also a concern. I never thought about that over ride button. That could suck too. Our truck is currently a Topkick. I am thinking that our...

    We do our share of big removals, but we normally can't compete with the removal guys around here. This last summer we did one job for a customer were we removed 4 100ft cottonwood that were each 30"+ DBH. Those are big trees for around here but it's more common for us to remove 12-18" Ash or Maples.

    Down sizing chippers.....good idea?

    All of our debris is given away. No market for chips or wood here. We have plenty of sources to get rid of our chips and wood. 99% of work done out of our Topkick mancab. Our work is pretty even between removals and pruning. Our average removal is only about $300 so mostly small trees. And we...

    Down sizing chippers.....good idea?

    So we are looking at getting a new chipper but we are thinking about down sizing. Our first chipper was a 12 in Vermeer 1250. We then bought a 16" cnd Chipmore. It was at that point that we realized how big and heavy the 1250 really was. I am not sure that the Vermeer really outperforms the...
