Chipper three point chipper

[professor]

I know this discussion has been discussed thoroughly. I am torn by the DR or Northern. My budget will allow me to spend up to $2000.00. I was wondering about the pros and cons of both. I have an old Troybilt that I can both chip and shred. Are there other brands within my price range. It will have to be 3pt. The power source will be a Yanmar 1401 (17 hp)
Thanks

Check out Bearcat & Woods. I believe that the Woods chippers are Bearcats sold under the Woods name.

I have the Woods 5000 Chipper/shredder and you wont go wrong with it. I have driven it with a 12 hp compact. Just limits feed rate. It will cost you more than your $2000 and if you add a blower as I did, it will go over $3000. It may cost more but it is definitely more machine than the DR and probably more productive in the long run.
