I am considering either the 1430 or the 1845 (1845 is in the lead but the 1430 fits the wallet). But, only 15HP? You have to be kidding. How in the heck do you till with this thing? I know it does not have the ground pulling oomph that a CUT has, but this makes me nervous about brush-hogging. How does is swing a 72" swath when a 27hp PTO can only do a 60....
So, just so I have PT correct in my head. It is nothing more than a diesel / gas driven hydraulic pump. The pump that drives the lifts and steering is the same pump that drives the wheel motors?
Thanks for the PT 101 lessons guys...

You must consider this, those chippers turn in the thousands of rpm and most hydraulic motors with a high displacement will turn slow maybe around 500 to 750 rpm. You need HP and speed on a chipper.
