ordered a chipper for my BX22

bellweather · Apr 22, 2011

After much research, I finally ordered a Salsco Model 600 wood chipper to help me tame the growing piles of branches, twigs and dead wood from the many trees on my property. Other brands I considered include DR, Mighty Mac, Patu, and Wallenstein. Settled on the Salsco because it seemed like a good balance between price, features and quality, plus the right size for my tractor.

Congratz on the purchase. If you find that you have run out of things to chip at your place let me know. The recent wind storms here in CT have drowned a great many branches. Looks like a great machine. Look foward to seeing your reviews.

Congrats; these things are invaluable, probably my most useful attachment except for the FEL. Have fun with it.

Salsco makes nice equipment. You are gonna love your new chipper. Please post us some action pictures (or videos) when you get to try it out. :thumbsup:

I might be getting my first tractor on the weekend, a 1949 massy harris pony, 11hp. (I am 14 and have almost no budget and this is $1000 obo with a mower and a plow, I will still have to borrow money from my dad for it) and I might get one of these for it. Please post a review.

You'll be fine chipping small stuff. My first tractor running a chipper was only 18 HP. 3-4 inch stuff is firewood to me anyway....... so no need to chip bigger stuff.
