    Vermeer BC190XL chipper, thoughts, experiences?

    I wouldn’t describe them as that Gary (not quite anyway) this was a machine that they were unfamiliar with, some sort of trade in against an agricultural machine. Chanchers rather than shysters, the mechanic grinning with pleasure as I dismantled the salesman’s BS (whose cologne made my eyes...

    Ahh apologies, I should have updated you. In a word no. I promised myself to be cool headed and pragmatic and it served me in good stead.
