Looking to purchase chipper for JD3720

Around here a free sign on wood even if it is junk wood like cottonwood and people come and haul it away. The stuff is very low heat content wood. The timber companies here grow it because it is fast growing and use it to make toilet paper because that's all it is good for is c----y jobs. So the name A330 driver wouldn't be a reference to piloting a rival jet manufacturer would it?

Yes but it's because of the NWA merger with Delta..I was on the 747- 400 but will never get back in lieu of a seniority issue of ..24 years at 54 looking at 45 year old pilots I used to train in the Navy with 1800 numbers on me ?...Should have washed their asses out..LOL!

It won't get you 8"' but the wallenstein bx62 would be a good fit for that tractor and job. I have the 4" on a 29 hp tractor and it works great even on max sized hardwoods.

My neighbor has a bx62 mounted to a Deere 1020. Very nice! Smooth, feeds itself easily, and high quality unit.

I've got a 3720 and I picked up a Frontier WC1205. I don't have a ton of time on the machine but I haven't had any problems. We chip mostly small oak trees and pine. The hydraulic feed is nice because you can reverse if anything gets jammed up and because it doesn't rely on gravity the feeding mouth is much easier to access.

the machine if pretty large. It looks a little funky on the 3720 but other than that I have not had any problems. Let me know of you have any specific questions and I can try t answer.

YEs ..What size diameter trees can you effectively chip without bogging down the tractor, and are the blades quality steel?..Thanx!

Here are a couple pics of the type of stuff I chip.

Have you considered renting a large portable chipper? Id imagine it would be cheaper than buying a new one if it's a one time job.

Yes! As a matter of fact I decided to first get a NAI light root grapple for getting all of the stuff piled up, and then will rent from a local implement rental store. I have too much big stuff right now. But I would still like to get one sooner, or later!...Thanks for all of your help!
