Chipper Need a chipper

[KevT]

I was going to go with Liberty, but what I read here changed my mind. I have 32hp at the pto and most say 20 so I think I am good there. What I don't have is a lot of money, s there a chipper that I can use clearing my land (5" and tops),( root balls and logs I will burn) that is around $2500? It will get a work out this summer, but after that it would be very occasional. I have about 10 acres of "Turkey Oak" (around here they call em "Black Jack") to chip.

Hi Kev - Welcome to the forums. Too bad you are not closer to PA. I have a very lightly used Champion 500, (Pequea), that I would be willing to let go that would easily fit your budget. Even have 2 sets of new blades for it. It still has the originals in it and they have never been sharpened to indicate how low usage it has had.

Went and looked at it. Model is a CX 550, not the 500 I originally posted.

If you get desperate enough to drive to VA, I have a lightly used Wallenstein BX-42S in Kubota Orange that I have been contemplating selling -- probably in the $2300 price range (new they go for $2800-3200). It does up to 4" material (has a 4" x 10" throat) and self feeds for the most part. Direct drive (no belts) with a heavy flywheel.

Check out the woodmaxx 8H. I've been decently happy with mine. 32 HP will run it just fine.
