He buys low and resale’s high. Better off staying away. Find the right seller and machine yourself.

I was at an auction a few months back where Rick's Tree Service bought a couple of buckets that were unique. He had them advertised for $89,900 and I looked back at my auction notes to see he paid $60,000. Of course he had to pay a buyers premium, but wow what a markup! They were nice trucks and didn't need anything so he was selling them just like he purchased them unless there was some little something that happened in travel. The Co-Op sold them because they were getting out of ROW clearance.

Rick screwed up the whole used market in the northeast. Chippers now are absurdly priced and he has people by the balls since a new chipper comes with tier 4 engines that no one wants. It’s disgusting.

I agree with this. I just bought a used Morbark 15" that was sold by a farmer. I jumped on it before someone grabbed it to flip it. With the prices I am seeing I could spend 4K on fresh paint and sell this chipper for a profit. But I am going to run it and make my money their.
 
We just placed an order an order on Monday for a new 18xp with gas motor. Went with a black chipper this time around. Should be finished up at the factory by the end of January early Feb.

I do know of a reasonably priced 2014 1590xp Tier 3 that has 1700 hrs on it. Was thinking of buying it instead of a new one.
 
Because the tier 4 final motors don't have the bugs worked out yet. Our in house mechanic does not know enough about tier 4 motors and would have to go to CAT to work on it. On the other hand, he could rebuild the whole motor if need be with local parts around the corner at NAPA.

If we could of bought the Tier 3 CAT like we have in our 2015' Terex 770 we would of went that route. Actually we would of bought another Terex 770 if they still made em instead of the Bandit. Someone needs to step up and start making the Terex/Woodsman chippers again. Bandit does not make a better chipper, they have better marketing.

Dang,
PM me about the 1590xp. Ya Im starting to think new now. I might end up doing a tier 4 final. 19xp sure does sounds bad ass. My local bandit dealer is getting some in soon, so I can demo one. Price is around 75k with a full warranty and financing. Vs if i buy used, no warranty and I will end up paying for it in full since financing used stuff sucks. Price on the used machines are crazy. I could buy new, take off all the BS and no be that much more than a used machine. Crazy!
