They are a decent trim chipper but no comparison to a 12" unit. I've run a couple rental units and I think it should be worth $3K or close to it. If you can match up a generic hydro motor then that's the way to go. Vermeer gets top dollar for putting that yellow paint on generic parts.

I think it is worth it.......but I know a guy who bought one running with okay spindles for $2100. ( Makes you wish you could have been there doesn't it?)

 

[thattreeguy]

round here there's nothing available you have to go to medford or san fran so 3 g seemed ok to me,xept i wolda loved 1 for 2100..wow

Sounds good to me.

 

[thattreeguy]

i just saw a few online, darn things are selling for close to 9 grand, i think it'll be mine soon

I rented a 935 before I bought my 200+. I thought they had 50hp?

 

[Stumper]

Standard is a 35 hp.But I believe that they they did make some 50 hp 935s. (BTW 935...9 inch capacity/35 hp.)

 

[thattreeguy]

ahh thanks stumper,
ive never personally owned vermeer equipment, but ive run the hell out of 1800's
i have to check if its 50 hp, i thought it was 35
wouldnt that be a bonus!!
thanks y'all, wife actually supports me in it now

I think that Deutz diesel is a 42hp, but I may be wrong. The gas motor for that chipper is a 35hp.
