Buying new Whole tree chipper!...advice?

[MaineLogger]

We just sent our little 20/36 down the road,700hrs. and it's ready for the scrap heap.Not real happy with Morbark service either.Woodsmans are knife throwing time bombs,saw this first hand,How about Bandit?

I have a Bandit model 250 I bought new in 1991 and is still going strong. Two times I needed a whole tree chipper I rented bandits, first a model 1850 and the second time a 1890xp heavy duty. Both of them we feed with my log truck. The 1850 ( disk style ) worked great but the 1890xp ( drum style ) would not throw chips very well and kept on plugging up.

Never run one of these, but have heard good things from people that have them.

I saw one of these in Bangor a couple of years ago,I don't of anyone in Maine that uses this chipper or if they have a dealership here.

Must of been the same one I saw in Bangor,too.That critter could chew some wood up. I asked the price,forgot how much now.

if they have a dealership here.

MASSACHUSETTS looks like the closest dealer. Could give them a call and see if they have any closer.

Lots of Conehead chippers around here. I think most of them come thru the John Deere forestry dealerships.

Their new drum chipper looks pretty impressive.A little big for us though,no dealer in Maine that I can find.

Go see gary pomeroy, he has a new  chipper he bought at nortrax 2-3 years ago! It is a good sized one,maybe 20 inch or bigger

Son in law works for Peterson and right now you proably could name your price Most of what they sell goes accross pond had two US companys back out on sales so they are kinda hurting now

Theres a big company down here in SC, Carroll lumber- they do pine plantation thinnings and use a big peterson chipper

My grandpa started whole tree chipping in 1973 and we have been running Morbark every since.  They make good chips and are low maintance.
