I saw this on the side of the road last week, asking price was $1,500-when I really looked at it I discovered it was like new-literally. The guy said it was a few years old, only used once maybe, and garage kept.
So I do my homework, discovered it's an older model, but sold for about $3,500 or so because it's got the optional blower attachment so the chips don't just fall on the ground.
So I offer him $1,000 for it, and he said the lowest he would go was $1,200 so I said SOLD!
Actually, my neighbor went in halfsies with me on it (he has a JD 2210), so it was only $600 out of my pocket!
I just need to lower or modify the top hook attachment so it will fit my I-Match quick hitch, and grease all the fittings because they have never been greased before!
Here is a link to the specs...

But the quick and dirty is:
18-25 HP
5" on the chipper (4 blades)
1.5" on the shredder (36 blades)
550lbs total weight
135 pound flywheel
