Chipper Chipper...or chipper/shredder?

Well I think I have decided on the Wallenstein. Will start pricing them out tomorrow. The DR seems a little cheapie. Only one knife.

The DR is not the appropriate comparison for the Wallenstein. Price the BearCat vs the Wallenstein.

Todd, Like you, time for me is precious My jimna didn't require but 1.5 hours to set up, and a lot of that was greasing it. I have been more than happy with mine and I'm still surpised at the size chips it makes. It choppes fairly fine. One of the best things I've bought. Just FYI

I've thought alot about the Jinma and have planned to get one, but for the life of me can not find a dealer here in Florida, and the shipping to bring one in from Texas or N.C. kills the affordability. Am going to look at Bearcats and Wallensteins (sp?) and see what I can find. Still hoping I might find a Jinma locally, I've sent some emails off to Florida Jinma tractor dealers hoping one may also sell the chippers.

My Dealer told me the DR and the Bearcat chippers are junk, one of his mechanics confirmed that and not at the same time (in two diff. conversations, at two Diff. times at the dealership). As far as Jinma, it's Chinese. I've had a Patu and used a friends Wallenstein, both very good quality.

A little birdy told me not once but twice that your dealer was FOS. A little squirrel confirmed it so it must be true.

The smaller "junk" Bearcat PTO unit weighs 450 lbs and has a 125lb rotor. The equivalent Wallenstein weighs less and has a smaller rotor for about the same price. Don't have exact specs on a similar size Patu (it is a bit heavier) but it costs double what the "junk" Bearcat does. And the Patu is a foreign make (not sure why that is an issue for you). The DR is a light weight machine but is well enough built that the company will take it back for a full refund, including shipping in six months if you don't like it.

My buddy in New Mexico has one of those Jinma chippers. I saw it work and he put everything into it with no problems. I was thinking of getting one for myself. I think Tommy at Affordable Tractor Sales has them for about $1,800 bucks or less? Larry is very happy with his.

Todd, if you decide to go with Jinma try to make sure it is the original Jinma wood chipper.

Tommy and I both sell, service and support them. I have had good service out of the ones I have sold.

Went over to Pinnacle in Walpole NH and bought the BX42 yesterday, $2495. Will give 'er a spin sometime today. Nice guys to deal with over there. I'm trying to avoid Chinese goods even if it costs a little more.

Congrats on the purchase. I think you will be happy with both the dealership, and the chipper! There isn't much info here on the BX42, so give us an update once you start using it. I'm pretty sure that's what I'm buying as soon as I figure out what tractor to put it on!

Sure Todd, I can/well quote to the penny.


I need your city and zip code. I looked at your profile and tried with Polk County.... no luck.

Shoot me an email ronald@ranchhandsupply.com with the info and put Chippper quote in the subject line.

Thanks
