- JD4100, NHTN75
I'm going to an auction tomorrow that has a Vermeer 606 PTO chipper listed. Anyone familiar with this brand/model? Specifically, can I run it on either my JD4100 (20/16HP) or NHTN75 (75/62HP)? I gather that it is a 6", and old enough I can't find specs, whether it is hydraulic or self-feed, etc.
Anything I should know about it: problems with how well it works, things to check when I see it (not likely to be attached to anything to run it).
How much might it be worth?
I'm trying to clear long overgrown fence rows (to re-fence), neglected pastures/hay fields, some woods (lots of widow-makers) and previous owner's piles. Also some tall honeysuckle, apples, cherry, willow, walnut, multifloral rose, grape vines, wild raspberry, you name it. I don't have any wood-burning appliances, and much of it is too lousy to sell for firewood. The 2" MTD is soooo slooow. I'll never catch up.
I chose my user name based on all the used equipment I have chronically breaking down. Repairs aren't my strong suit, even if I had the time, which I don't. Am I better off buying new?
