pto chipper/shredder

[Gordon Gould]

Another vote for the BearCat 554 5" chipper/shredder. That is what I have on a 30 hp tractor.
Just make sure you don't put pea vines that are still green in the shredder. I did once. It was like I put a couple miles of fishing line in there. What a tangled mess. I never realized pea vines were so stringy. When they are dry and brown there is no problem.

I found a used Bearcat 70554, but can't look at it till Sat afternoon...

Found a used Jinma 6 on CL and was pretty beat up but have thrown about $300 in new parts and a set of new blades and it runs great now. Cheaper than a new one so far.

Unless it is a friend or relative of yours, I bet it will be gone by then. Good ones don't stay for sale very long.

You bet!!

When I found mine chipper/shredder on CL, I was there within an hour or so of responding to the ad.

I do recommend anyone buying any PTO driven implements ask the seller for a demonstration, if at all possible.

Now you have me thinking about selling mine!:laughing: I don't use it as much as I thought and haven't sold it only because it's on the island and a PITA to demonstrate. But I agree anyone buying one should see it demonstrated if at all possible. Anyone want to visit Prudence Island this summer? Three ferrys a day!:thumbsup:

Try the local CL and TBN's classifieds.

Not worried about finding interested buyers, the problem is my location and need to coordinate with limited ferrys on and off the island to demo the thing. Easy to bring it off but then I'll have it stuck on a trailer and no way to demo off island. I'll figure it out.

When I took my truck and dump trailer onto Martha's Vinyard to pick up my backhoe, it was almost $100 ferry ride ! Nice ride.... but to heck with that.

We're not that fancy on Prudence. Car and driver are $25 RT but a trailer adds another $30+ depending on size. Most folks own minivans or pickups so they can bring over their own appliances and building material because getting a commercial trucker over to the island is $$$$.
