You don't see the Danuser chipper on their site because they no longer make them. They were sold to a company I think called Grounds Maintenance Equipment or GME. They also make wood splitters and a large lawn vac. Here’s the link.

GME site

It is a decent chipper for what it is. But if you have a lot of chipping to do especially if you want to do minimal pruning you may want to at least take a look the Salsco their number is 800-872-5726 and here is the link.

wbender,
If your mind boggles at the thought of $3-5K for a chipper, you might consider the DR chipper at Country Home Products

Ithe PTO version was not available when I bought mine. Mine is the same rig in a trailerable version with a 18 HP electric start gas engine. It will do 4.5 inch green hardwood. They have a good price and an unbeatable return policy...use it for thirty days and return if you don't like it. I have had mine for three years and think it is great. There was a thread on the DR chipper that can be accessed using search.

Which model do you use with the 7500? Do you think any of them are low enough to use with a BX? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Salsco will soon have a PTO chipper for the BX and like tractors. I beleive it is 3 inch and it will not be power feed but for those who want a basic heavy duty inexspensive unit you'l love it. More news on it soon.

My dealer has a used gearmore for sale. He says its $3800 new - he'll sell for $2500.
He sold it to someone who used it just a little while then decided he needed something larger so it is not much used.
I wonder what the pros and cons are to PTO chippers versus the stand alone - other than I will need my tractor to chip and will have to take off the backhoe everytime I want to chip.
Are they just as strong, quieter etc Does this seem like a good price, anyone have experience with this chipper?

I've had PTO chippers on all of my tractors since my Ford 1710. I like th eidea of not haveing to maintain another engine. All of my chippers were Valbys and I liked them very much. My current unit is a CH160 with hydraulic feed.

Well I finally went to check out the chipper.
I could see at a glance, it isn't strong enough.
I don't think it could chip 6" dia oak for very long...
I think my next step is auction or rental yard sales for one of the bigger stand alone models - vermeer is looking good.
