Lost cause IMO. Not worth the money and time. It'll soon eat it's way through £5k and even then probably won't be as good as a £7k looked after one!

Have a look in the classifieds at the Vermeer I had for sale. It went on eBay for 3k

It would take a hell of alot more than £500 worth of parts to get that running.

About 10 ish years ago we bought a stump grinder from him and he was a very straight and honest man to deal with if that helps

 

As for the chipper seems a bit of a gamble

depends on you and what you can do or are prepared to do:thumbup:

Half a grand is going rate for a shaft and bearings but that’s just parts, it would need a day or two’s labour.
