Shorter steps work better, usually. Not necessarily faster, but better for working all day.

One thing I have learned over my many years is that what used things are worth often has barely a passing acquaintance with what people will actually pay for them. You may just have to downgrade your expectations on the chipper. It may be the finest operating machine of its type around, but...

My other thought on the matter is less stroke for your knee ascender if in use. So 3" less stroke on the knee ascender becomes a bigger deal for me.

HBD Mick!

@Mick! Hooo-yah!

Dodge is sold! chipper has had zero bites, not sure what to do about that, tried treetrader and they want money upfront regardless of if it sells, local auction yard won't do a reserve and the one an hour away won't have me my money for a minimum of 30 days, I think the price is more than fair...
