A good wood chipper?
Looking at a Troy built 10hp wood chipper, anyone here have experiences with this model?
Any other suggestions?
Would like to keep the price tag under 1k.
3" in diameter will suffice as well.
Any feedback would be appreciative.
Thanks in advance!

Sigarms, That is a toughie! The problem is GOOD and UNDER A GRAND. If you had more budget I'd recommend DR but for under a grand I haven't a good suggestion for a well built machine.

Pat
What or who is DR?
What type of price range are we looking at?
I realize you only get what you pay for (in most cases, which is why I'm asking here).
Thanks

Sigarms. Who is DR????????????? I'm reminded of the question, "Who shot JR?", of years ago. I asked, "JR who?" and got laughed at but I was serious, never having watched "Dallas" on TV. Are you telling me you don't watch TV? DR advertises on TV, sometimes a lot.
Anyway DR is a brand name for Country Home Products and I am sure they would love to send you a catalog.

I have always been extremely pleased with their customer service. They do stand behind their products.
Currently on their web site...
# Save up to $419.90! (offer ends 5/12)
# DR® Credit Plan - No Payments for 3 mos!
# FREE Depot Shipping ($129 value)
# FREE Extended Warranty (normally $109)
They have a manual start 9 HP unit for anout $1200 that takes up to 3 inch branches.
I have an electric start trailer mounted model. I had an early battery failure (they don't make the batteries so it wasn't there fault) and they sent me one right away free. MY only other complaint is that the trailer is rated by them for speeds up to 45mph. As it fits easily into a pickup bed the only time I took ot far from home to help a friend I loaded it into the bed so I could drive faster with less worry.
Hope this helps.

I didn't see nearly all of them, but I did see quite a few, and in my opinion, you didn't miss a thing. [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

Thanks for the info, will need to look at that company.
Sorry to say, I don't have T.V services (I do have a T.V to watch videos though!)

Re: A good wood chipper?
So who shot JR anyway? The Dallas shows I watched, Larry Hagman, you know the fellow on "I Dream Of Jeanie" was a crack up. He was JR in Dallas.
Egon, did they have TV in Canada back then?

Back when ? [img]/forums/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]
Sure we had TV in Canada ..... with the Canadian equivalent of the Propaganda Broadcasting System (PBS) known as the CBC.
Actually, the 3 broadcast networks - CBC, CTV and ITV, buy a lot of programming from the US ... so I'm pretty sure it would've been on Canadian idiot boxes too ... but I can't be sure because I don't watch daytime or nighttime soap operas [img]/forums/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]
