New [to me] B7800 and Salsco 824

vwkismet · Apr 24, 2010

I am very excited to have joined the tractor owner society! I just bought this B7800 w/210 hours and Salsco 824 chipper that looks practically new. My wife was not particularly on board, but she likes the size and is a huge fan of the chipper. (She is a teacher and gets "snow" days so I hope she becomes a big fan of the rear blade, too!) Now I just have to find a way to justify the laundry list of other attachments.

Other people post pictures of their kids sitting on their tractor. Well, I don't have any [human] kids.

We immediately put it to work. It didn't take long at all to demolish one of our tree/branch piles. I have probably cut 200 small trees out of the woods around our house - only about 10,000 more to go!

Congrats........ how did you like that chipper? Enough HP to chip everything you ran through it?

Looks like a great set up. Rover looks like he likes it too!

Chipper is phenomenal. I am so glad I pulled the trigger on the deal with the chipper. It is almost as good as the commercial ones I have rented. It slowed down only a couple times and I was at times putting in full 4" diameter 40' trees. The hydraulic feed just sucks them right in.

Sounds as if you did well. Especially if the chipper works as well as you say it does.
