I'm still doing tree/contracting work and still selling for Dave/Top Notch/Branch Manager Attachments, but I started CES back in April as a separate company to handle my selling endeavors. Last month I (Compact Equipment Store.com) became a Terex Environmental dealer, and my latest product line addition is the GMT 035 grapple saw, I'm ordering mine tomorrow. I also offer free shipping now on the BMG as well as a few other product lines that are on my store.
The store's address is www.CompactEquipmentStore.com

There are some year end deals to be had, granted there are only a couple days left in this year! Scott Nelson and Jesse Huffman have been my first two chipper purchasers... Jesse just sent the deposit this afternoon.
There is a 2013 730 available for $28.8k plus shipping.
Here's a 2014 TAC 730. ~$31k.
Here's the 2013 for $28.8k. Note it has 10hp more than the 2014 version and no bump bar!:
An oddity, but certainly a cheap chipper is the 720. It was designed to be a bid machine for large line clearance companies. There are 4 left plus my demo unit. In all honesty they aren't a bad chipper... the bump bar is annoying for machine feeding like I'm used to, there is no lift/crush cylinder, and it needs a speed controller for the feedwheel when chipping large logs. The chute is a forestry style (hard to plug), which is also odd but no big deal if you're chipping into a truck usually. The 4 new 720s are $23.5k, my demo unit is $3k less.
The bump bar was the original design, the 2014 bump bars have a longer "bump" distance before they fault. As a dealer I'm hesitant to modify a safety system, but I will video the difference in 2-3 weeks when I'm back at the factory and end users can extrapolate from there.
The feed speed controller valve is for chipping logs using auto feed. The feed wheels jam the log into the drum too quickly for the autpfeed to react and it stalls the engine. Adding the control valve is $500 or less (the valve is $100, plus three hoses and labor).
The lack of lift/crush isn't a huge deal, although I'm sure it would help. I've chipped 10-12 cedar trees and a pecan tree with it so far... it feeds better than my old Bandit 200 for sure. It has the 13"x24" throat that the 730 has, same drum, same feed system (without the lift/crush).
If it will stop raining, I'll get some working video of the 720, but here's the walk around at the factory:
They have other products, and I still sell Boxer, Gehl, Avant, Branch Manager, Blue Diamond, Rockhound, etc etc, but that's a start into my wares. I will be headed to MI around the third week of January and I'm doing some Avant demos coming and going. Feel free to ask questions or to call/text me literally any time. I'm always "on call" although I do sleep or am otherwise unavailable. That is one thing that I try to do to separate me from the other sellers, you can call me night or day, regardless of timezone or if it's a holiday/weekend/etc. I also still work for a living, and that's still by far where I make my money.
