Are you refering to a Jinma machine at about $1250.00. I think there is a number of considerations here.
1) What do you price this against. Say for instance you are going into the landscaping business then its life expectancy is not going to be the same as a very much more expensive machine. On the other hand what is the local cost of rental of a similar machine. ie how much time would you have to use it to break even against a rental. This would be the case if you are doing a one time clearance of a property Remember providing it hasnt completely disintegrated then it will have some residual value.
2) Safety considerations. There I dont know.

I have owned a Danuser 5" chipper for 3pt pto for about three years now and have used it extensively on my 455 and now on my 2210 and find that the 2210 does a better job of running it . No power problems it has plenty and can lift it easly I have had very good luck with the unit but is no longer handled by Danuser but is still available under another name ??? somewhere. The only maintainance I have done is to sharpen the cutters.
Good luck

I have to do a 1 time land clearing, then it will be just regular maintance from the limbs that land from storms, and helping friends/neighbors with the same. I have seen the one for 1250.00 and others priced from 6-800. I think the ones priced in the 6-800 range would do fine, just wanted to get some other input. Thanks Guys!!

You've seen 3pt chippers for $600-800. Can you tell us more. I've never seen any that inexpensive. In fact, the least expensive I've seen in $1,399.

Hi! I've owned a bearcat 5 inch PTO chipper shredder for three years. I have had very good luck with it. It is very easy to change from course to fine chips. One of its best features is that you can access the blades to change them or clear an obstruction by removing only one bold. At times it uses all the power a 4410 has. Therefore if you have a smaller tractor you would have to be a little more careful at the size of material you're feeding into the chipper shredder.

It was in Minnesota or somewhere up there where the female police office caught a fellow stuffing another fellow into a chipper (in a movie). That big one of Barrys would have given him less trouble in disposing of the body.
I paid $1100 for my 8 hp Troy Bilt, used, 10 years ago. They very shortly went down to around $800-900 new in dealerships there.
The local JD dealer here in Va has both an engine-driven and PTO-driven MacKissic that appear to be about the size of my TroyBilt for $1699 each.
I've a MacKissic that fits onto my Gravely that I'd love to get rid of. It doesn't have a chipper. The hammers are virtually like new. I've only used it, mainly on leaves, a couple of times because it does "eat" leaves better than the Troy Bilt. Suspect it was only used for a time or two before that. Don't know why oh why they built a shredder with no chipper. I'll sell it cheap, but you'll need a Gravely to hitch it to or do some welding to mount it on anything else.
