That's no excuse Brendon, I shipped my chipper from Florida to Hawaii!

[lumberjack]

Practically around the world!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Might get scratched or dented

 

[brendonv]

Id a done the same thing, with so little hours. Ship it to my door! Sell it to me and you can upgrade.

 

[treesandsurf]

That green chipper I first posted about on treetrader.com (1290xp has less than 400 hours) is a sweet deal. I already spoke with the owner as I was looking at buying another chipper and he seemed willing to negotiate, I bet you could pick it up for 22,000 cash. That would be a killer machine, has the hydraulic yoke feature on it as well.

[brendonv]

I actually inquired about that a week ago, nevef heard on the hours. Maybe should call him.

 

[arborworks1]

landmarkmachinery.com has some good buys. I've dealt with Todd quite a bit. He sells quality!!

 

[thattreeguy]

Cummings 4 bt 116 hp with a turbo.......bad ass mofo fo sure

 

[thattreeguy]

oh yeah hydraulic raise and lowering of feed wheels for smashy smashy power

 

[brendonv]

Ok, might of found one.

What should i ask for mine? 2006, 700ish hours, reg. washed, extra knives, brush chipping monster. 84 hp deere, auto feed, blah blah.

15 k?

I don't know the market on your model Brendon but you should ask top dollar. That's a clean well maintained unit. Suprise suprise. Lol.

Remember you can always come down but it's a lot harder to raise the price.

 

[brendonv]

I should keep it, for light duty. Like i need two chippers though.

 

[squisher]

If you can I'd keep it as a back up or for the right jobs. My 250xp left me stranded last year and now a beater Vermeer keeps it company in the parking lot just in case I need it. How much down time would it have to save you before its not worth selling? Also factor in the taxes if its been written down in your books. Not sure if your system is that similar or different to ours but up here there's tax implications if you sell something for more than its book value. Conversely if the book value(I mean your books) is high than its still a good write off for you too.

 

[arborworks1]

I'd keep it man, there have been several jobs I would have liked to had 2 chippers on! And then the times when the chipper goes down it would be nice to pull the other one out and finish up.

 

[brendonv]

Hmm.

I need two chippers like a need a new bigger one.

I just think having a big chipper can make a guy smile.

I blame this all on harlan. Started helping him, now i have a rear mount, need a bigger chipper to keep up with the bucket, i kinda want a skidder for winter logging, whats next. Oh, ashly wants a ring. Bleh, chipper is more handy me thinks.

 

[squisher]

If she's the one get the ring. I'm old fashioned that way. I spoil my girl in part to make certain no one else is.

 

[lumberjack]

Ring time bro!

 

[brendonv]

Ha, we gotta sell the woodsman then. Lol

 

[Thor's Hammer]

Ring. Get your priorities right

Mind you I didn't spend a huge amount on my wifes ring, but I did have it hand made specially for her.

 

[flushcut]

Well look at it this way put a ring on it and take some of the wedding money and buy a new chipper.

 

[arborworks1]

Get the ring. You can make due with the "old" woodsman. It does look like its time for a coat of wax!

 

[rangerdanger]

Ring bro! And if you're lucky maybe someone will drop a new chipper in your lap for a wedding gift!

 

[Thor's Hammer]

Haha. What a bunch of old romantics we tree guys are.

 

[brendonv]

You gus are brutal. I can prob do both, but that ixnays the new truck till spring.

 

[treesandsurf]

did you pick up a chipper?
