Copy of Wallenstein 42s

[Kyle241]

Came across a nearly new chipper locally and what thought was a Wallenstein turns out to be a reproduction. Something called Sunnyvale.com or something to that effect. I looked it over carefully and like I said almost identical and it runs real well being new. I'm nervous about buying it though as I don't know anything about the manufacturer and wished I could remember what it is. I was ready to buy it until I realized it wasn't a Wallenstein. Still looking for a 62 as that would be better around my place but this was a deal at $1800. Anyone know of a company making a cloned Wallenstein chipper?

I ran into a couple of these on Craigslist a few months ago. These were new, around the $1800 range, and painted black. One was on a dealer's lot near where my daughter lives, so I had her take some pics of it. Of course, she didn't get any closeups, but the name on it was Agri-Ease. To me, it wasn't worth having that much steel of unknown quality spinning a couple feet from my face, so I bought a genuine Wallenstein.:thumbsup:...Dan
