buying a chipper with 2 radiators. problems?

Re: buying a chipper with 2 radiators. problems

John Deere Diesels are the cadillac of diesel engines. Forget the gas chipper and go with the 250xp. You will be so happy that you did.

If that 250 is decent you will be getting double the machine for less than double the money IMO

If it were me I'd REALLY lean towards the JD. Of course if its slap wore out it wouldn't be better. I'm not a fan of john deere but I think you would be happier with it.
John deeres are good motors just they are a harder to work on and the fuel routing is a strange on at least some of them with the filters on the suction side vs pressure side. At least on the 6068's. Which is a pain to change filters without getting air in the lines. They also seem to drink more than say a cummins. Just my 2 cents. I must say though I'm not familiar with that exact engine thats in this chipper. Jjust my experience in general and what my mechanic friends have confirmed
Good luck bro!

The 120hp 300 makes 220ish ftlbs of torque.

I bought a 200 back in 2005 with the 300. It works well enough, although I have plans of dieselizing it. Never had a problem with the feed rollers, even feeding it tree length pieces. I hope to buy a larger chipper and convert this one to self propelled status.

One thing I didn't like was the narrow feed chute. Also the grapple on the mini kept hitting the top of the chute, reducing my pushability.

Still have to weld it to the machine, but here's my fix for that problem.
