why dont you buy a drum style bandit chipper much better imo than the disck you can look at the bandit 1090 or the newer lighter model 990. Order lots of spare blades as you only get the best out of the machine with sharp blades.

 

We had a vermeer bc1000 on demo last year a few things fell off it and it broke down i didnt buy it.

I had a Bandit 150xp out on demo this time last week. Only had a 70hp tractor on it but it was fantastic. Hand fed very well with brush wood, timber and slab wood from the sawmill. Crane fed the same stuff in and it still worked really well.

 

We the decided to really test it got a few 12" bits of Norway spruce that were 10' long and put them it. Even with 70hp it didn't phase the thing at all no stress kicked in obviously but if i'd slowed the feed speed right down i think that could have been avoided. Throwing in multipul small stems with the crane say 3-4"x10' still didn't phase it.

 

So impressed with the Bandit that we're buying it.

I've been looking at the drum chippers in the brochure. Somewhat different to my old style whisper I have to say but they look quite compact. I have no issues with a drum chipper, just want what's best for the job really.

We use Bandits 150 LD's and it is the dogs bollocks. We sometimes reverse the chipper up to felled Poplar trees and put the butt into the hopper, stand back and let it do it business. I have to admit that if we do use another chipper I really miss the feed rollers of the Bandit. Only negative I have is sometimes its can be too big for some jobs, and it doesn't like Lawson Cypress much.
