We're going to the John Deere dealer today after work to look at wood chippers and/or chipper/shredder combo units (if they have them there). I understand John Deere pushes the Frontier brand? Our budget is about $,3000. I'd like to get your opinion on this purchase. If you know of a better brand or something more useful please reply. We'd prefer something that chips AND has a shredding capability since we like to compost (garden waste mainly and leaves....corn stalks, tall ornamental grass, etc). If a shredded will chop up things like that well enough a chipper would be fine...but I worry about clogging it up with softer and smaller material like that mentioned above.
Looking for something that fits the following description...
- For use with PTO on John Deere 4120 tractor (43HP turbo diesel)
- Chipper
- Shredder (preferably)
- Durable/Heavy Duty
- Chips wood 4" in diameter (or larger if it fits in our budget of $3,000)
- Attaches to 3 point hitch on tractor for easy transport to work area
What are your thoughts? What brand/model would you buy if that was your budget?
Thanks
