    Vermeer BC600XL Chute modification: hinged to fold?

    They weren't fans of the idea. I mean, with the proper safeties, it is not much different than what they have on it already. Just that the underwriters didn't sign off on it, and the mass of the buyers don't need it to bend lower.

    Vermeer BC600XL Chute modification: hinged to fold?
