Chippers

[maggies dad]

How many months?

 

[arborworks1]

15,000 or 30 months!!

 

[maggies dad]

Well nuts, thats my taste just not my budget, maybe in a few months I could swing it though.

 

[arborworks1]

Well we can work with your budget!! Pm me if youre serious...

 

[maggies dad]

MasterBlaster, according to the wife that seems to be the case.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Wut?

 

[maggies dad]

The bean comment.

 

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Woodsman do make a good chipper. I have a 15X too and there are are few more peeps on here who run Woodsman Chippers also.

 

[SoonerFan]

That exact craigslist chipper is for sale in OKC and Dallas too. Definitely a scam.

 

[SkwerI]

The scammers always intentionally list stuff out of the area. If you are looking on your local Craigslist and see anything for sale out of the area, it's a scam.

 

[SoonerFan]

Agreed. But this chipper is for sale "locally" in multiple cities.

Each add says it's in the town advertised.

 

[maggies dad]

I feel dumber then normal, I dont really know how they work scams and such on the computer. You would think I would be smarter, My brother did cyber crime for the FBI fo 5 years.

Can anyone else confirm that the vermeer 1250 is outrageously heavy or is it me?

Agreed. Exactly why I want to sell ours.

And that Bandit is for sale here too.

Anyone seen one like this before? It's a cool twist on the old Chuck n duck.

That's interesting, Eric. Weird that the ad doesn't show the throat on the feed tray. No blower.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Curb side feed I venture....

 

[MasterBlaster]

No.

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

No?

I wonder of the Vermeer , and any other manufacturers, abandoned the curb side feed design. Seems like a good feature to keep employees and brush ends/ debris away from traffic.

 

[MasterBlaster]

No = I wouldn't want it.

TP, which we use, have a model with a horizontally revolving infeed. You can point it any way you want within a 180 degree radius.
That thing is the cat's ass for curside operation.

 

[Mick!]

Turn tables as they call them in the UK can be handy, I've had one, I wouldn't pay extra for it though.
Just unhitch it and spin it round.
If I had a contract for roadside stuff I'd feel differently.

 

[emr]

We had the curbside feed on our Vermeer 1250...... Almost never used it. I believe it's a better idea in theory than in practice.

 

[MasterBlaster]

We used them to reposition the chute.

 

[treebilly]

That's mainly what I do with the 1250 I own. Once in a while it's useful. Most of the time it helps to fill the corners of the truck.

 

[MasterBlaster]

And whatever you do, DON"T take off driving when it's swung to the side. I did that once... ONLY once!

There should be a lockout/tagout set-up for that, IMO.
