Don't know a thing about them, but I question just how much they can do since it only requires 8HP. 3 1/2" isn't much of a chipper really. I'm not sure what their prices are, but you may be able to get a better chipper/shredder than this chipper only that doesn't do as much. They make no mention of a PTO shaft being included, and the picture does not show any pins in the hitch. John

I have coresponded with Salsco many times. I think one must look at the larger chippers they produce. They have a good reputation in the chipper industry just mainly on the east coast. The one thing I find interesting, if you email for info, Sal himself answers

The Jinma 6" PTO woodchipper is a great chipper for the money,I have sold around a 100 of these units with very little problems,mostly operator error.They are semi-self feeding,easy to hook up, durable,so the chinese quality belts are not the greatest,you can replace them with US for under $ 50.00 .For $ 1,599.00 you can get a 6" woodchipper.Almost every other brand on the market is twice that amount. I work hard for my money and don't see spending $ 3,500.00-4,500.00 for a woodchipper when you can get something that will do the same job for half

Shouldn't spam, Tommy...the gentleman asked about Salsco chippers...not Chinese chippers.
Hopefully, the moderator will delete your post

Roy, the person is apparently looking for a woodchipper,I was giving him another option that may save him some money,he may not have known about the other chippers ,maybe he did. I was not pushing one over the other just explaining the cost differences.Some can afford Mercedes some Fords & Chevys

I have one very similar to the 600... It runs off a 5 hp Honda, probably a transplant, and sits on a self contained trailer ( 3'W x 4'L). It's old, old, old but still chips great. Sharpened the blades recently and changed out the bearings. No problems getting parts from SALSCO. I use it to get to small jobs that I can't justify hooking up my VALBY 140 for, real handy and solid construction. It's overbuilt just like their big ones. I paid $400 at an auction about 6 yrs ago.

I spoke with Dick at Salsco on friday.

I have a customer that I have gotten several Straw Blowers for from Salsco ($7000). Nice units well built.

I inquired about the chippers and was told the 4 or 6 inch will suck the limbs up. Some other brands of these pto chipper shredders leave alot to be desired.

And most are not chipper shredders. They are chippers only.
