Best price I've seen lately is around $1500-$1600. they'll chip 6" so you'll need at least 25 pto hp or more . Someone who's using one now..............please chime in with your experience on hp requirements & loading.........Thanks.........Tom

Mine was $1550 at Starlight. He included a set of extra blades and anvil. The best price I found was in Arkansas and it wasn't enough less to be worth the drive. I run mine on a 33hp diesel. It doesn't even know it is back there. It does notice the weight though. I have to run ballast on the nose while traveling. I have studied up on them before buying. One person said he used his on a 22hp, and it was all it wanted but would work. I am looking out the window at a wet snow wishing I could get in the yard.

Tommy.......Homier sales ( the fine people who bring us the wonderful chinese tools) were at the powershow OHIO in Columbus. They have a dealer in S ohio who has some. That doesn't help my bro' in law in Florida, tho. I did get to see one at the show............impressive unit for the $$. Do you know how many knives they have, and the replacement cost ?? I don't have time to obtain any chippers now, as I'm heading to Fl tomorrow. I'll check into it more when I return................Tom

I have the Jinma 6 with the roller feed. Its' being used on a L3130 and works good. I have pulled the tractor down a couple times gettin happy with some 6" hardwood just to see what it would do. Just pull the feed lever for a few seconds and go again.
I burn most everything 4" and larger. The tractor and chipper just eat this stuff alive. I recently bought one for $1247 off Ebay from a dealer in knoxville Arkansas, have about 8 hours of chipping time so far. He doesn't have any listed right know though just a couple tractors.

Hi Jerry !! I ordered 3 from Tommy @ affordable tractor in Texas. The price came out actually a little less than the ones we looked at at the powershow & they were delivered to my shop. Seems like if you get 3 the price of the chippers is a little less & the freight cost is cheaper shipping 3 together than shipping them separately by about 25%. I found a 753 bobcat for my brother inlaw from Fla, so when he comes up in may to get it, he can haul the chipper back then too. I found alot of assembly hardware that wasn't tightened properly, & a few other minor glitches, but overall a good unit for the price. .......Tom
