That’s not a chipper.. That is a firewood destroyer... it turns perfectly good firewood logs into useless wood chips..
So I’ll fess up, I do not own the machine. Surprise surprise. Some equipment has showed up at a once vacant lot down the street from work. I have seen some big whole tree chippers but this thing is a beast.
I really don’t know who the logs belong to. The chipper has been there for a few weeks. Sometimes there is a grapple truck parked next to it. Piles of logs are there for a day or two then vanish. No company logo on the equipment.
90000.00 plus depending on options one high maintenance machine cost of the machine is bad enough but operating it is spendy also I would love to have a wood chip burning furnace for my shop it is on the list of things to do JB
Useless unless you can burn them I used to deliver loads of chips to a power plant in northumberland Pa that would take tractor trailer loads every day JB
thats gotta be $500,000+....i see well used ones approaching $400,000.....cant tell by the pic but it looks like it could be a bandit 24".....fill a trailer truck in about 15 min
Whited Ford Peterbuilt Hyundai Bandit RV and whatever else they come up with sells the bigger stuff. I’ll price one out next time I go there. That one looks like a homeowner model compared to some of the stuff they have on the lot.
Well, that makes my 12" Morbark look a bit inadequate. That's likely in the 750K range depending on how it's equipped.
Thats what happens when you are tired and try to type I missed a # meant 490000.00 plus . in 1990 I worked for a company that had a 1000 HP Morbark 27rxl 27inch chipper at that time that one was @350000.00 but it had its own loader it could fill a walking floor trailer in 10-15 minutes JB
That looks like a Morbark 30-36 I can tell that is MI that trailer has waaaaay to many tires to check air in but you are allowed a lot more weight than here JB
I'm not a fan of those firewood wasters. They use one on our city and all of the city yes end up being mulch instead of firewood.
I'm not sure how long he has had that chipper but has had it for many, many moons and it is still going. It keeps him going because the logging business is not too great right now. btw, he and I once worked together in the woods. I got out but he stayed with it. He even had a mill for many tears but finally got out of it. I think it was physical reasons. He is still going even though he is in his 70's. Says he won't retire. Yes, he is crazy.
