I bought my 3PH DR Chipper two years ago on the free six month trial program. It worked pretty well, so I ended up keeping it. When I traded up to an L4630 from my L3010 I was chagrined to find that the PTO shaft was way too short to use the chipper on the new tractor.
Today I called their customer service line and explained my problem. "Oh, you need the longer shaft. It costs $309 plus shipping."
Sinking feeling. Not sure I'd use the chipper enough to justify the cost. Burn piles are cheaper. But I had to ask, "Would you take the old shaft in partial trade?"
A pause, then -- "Tell you what. Send back the original shaft and we'll replace it free of charge."
Gotta love service like that! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
