Wood Chipper: best 3PH ~ $2,000?

[Ductape]

Yes.... when i was looking at them last fall.... the hydraulic feed option on the BX42 added $2000 to the price. I'd guess the hydraulic feed on the 62 was around $2500 more. They may have gone up a bit with the rise in the cost of steel though.

I checked out the Wallensteins. They look good; however, I noticed that the both said 'hand feed or hydraulic'.
Does this mean that for the prices shown you get the hand feed, and that the hydraulic is considerably more?

Wallensteins do NOT need the hydraulic feed!!!
In fact, the manual feed works so well, that when it slows down or stops feeding...IT is probably time to sharpen the knives...

I have an Echo Bearcat model #77454 that I pd over $2700 +tax for this fall and hardly used it at all for sale for $2500 OBO . I live in OH and can send you pics if interested. It is PTO driven and takes up to 4 1/2" brush very well.
