Well, plans changed so I was able to go look at the chipper this afternoon. It looked good to me so I bought it - gulp It's got a little rust but no big deal. I'll do some chipping with it in the next couple days and let you know how it goes.
Thanks again to everyone for all the suggestions. I learned a lot!
- Can't wait to start chipping!
Congratulations! I spent a good part of the weekend feeding my Patu chipper and spreading chips over the asparagus and blueberry patches. The Patu came to me by way of Craig's List. When I got it home I used it right away and was somewhat disappointed with the performance - I had to push everything into it. With some good help from TBN members, I secured an owner's manual .pdf and the next weekend opened the chipper up and reset the knife feed depth (chip size) and knife to anvil gap to nominal specs. It was like a whole different machine. Draws very nicely now.
Long winded, I know. Point is, give it a good going over, check the blades and adjustments and give the bearings a good squirt with the grease gun. Then go have at it!
