Vermeer is a quality machine pal ! pretty hefty build and power ! Not positive re. spout but probably is removeable !

Cant remember about the spout been a few years since i used one, but a great little chipper. Cant recall any problems to watch out for, happy chipping

get the spout cut and modded to fold down ,seen it on a quick chip on ebay it was to get the chipper in a low garage

The discharge spout comes off, there is a clamp at the slew point

If it's like the 620i the spout's clamped down with two bolts, then folds over and down to the ground over a long removeable bolt that acts as a hinge pin. 5-6mins in total on your own when you've got the knack but putting it back on's harder as the spout doesn't want to sit for you while you slide the long bolt back through the aligned base of the spout and the frame of the machine. But the whole thing's a doddle for two.

Bet it's nothing like the 620i now!

good luck with your first chipper and i hpe its serves you as well as my first chipper just watch you dont tip going to fast on rounder bouts or around corners or on steep banks you mite be lucky if you have a wider axle as most had the wheels under the chipper and was quite esay to topple over if you was flying in your truck
