I love the Morbark, I love bandits too. I got a killer deal on it, have to do some things to it especially paint this winter. For removals it just one of the best. Feed it with my excavator or mini and it's just chewing it up. I would like to get a crane in years to come so I'm setting...
I don't like Vermeer from a small one to the big one. The only Vermeer ide look at is the 2100xl.
They just don't stand up to the abuse of tree work plain and simple imo. Also the tech support is horrible.
I felt the same bout the newer saws, but little muffler mod and advance the timing, your ripping better then before. Price of a used one will be 3/4 of a used the. The lightly used 460 and 046 people think they are selling. Things that came from a museum.
