Hi,

 

I've been asked by my local community forest project to get what I can for a chipper they've ended up with. It's a Vermeer 620I, which has a running engine (on just one cylinder), but the bearings on the fly wheel has gone.

 

Is there anyone out there who would be interested/able to take on getting this machine back up and running? If so, roughly what would it be worth to them?

Is it on Bute?

Another option is to place it in an internet plant auction, I'm always surprised the high prices stuff, even none runners, goes for. I use ibidder and Bidspotter.

Aye, it's on Bute.

 

They're going to loose money on it, it's just a case of getting what they can.

 

I'll have a look at those auctions and see what that sort of thing goes for. Thanks.

The 620 is a good little entry level machine but the series is a bit long in the tooth now making it a bit less desirable.

 

In its favour, its a rugged little bugger, easy to maintain and small enough to park in a domestic garage.

 

On the down side its relatively heavy and it only has a single feed roller. Parts for the Hatz engine are expensive and its narrow wheelbase makes it a bit tippy.

 

The bearings are an off the shelf item and an easy fix, the engine is an unknown and could be expensive.

 

The standard in feed control is no longer HSE compliant and this unit looks standard so it will need a retro fit.

 

As a going concern, ready to work its worth somewhere in the region of 2K.

 

As a non runner its worth a fraction of that.
