Eager Beaver 12 Inch Chipper(91 or 92?)

[marlinspiker]

Im thinking of selling this chipper and buying a larger one. It has an 86 horse perkins diesel with 3500 hours on it. I bought it for 5K last year and have upgraded several things including all new oil senders, belts, new oil pressure gage, new john deer ignition, tires, murphy switch, and one new hydraulic motor. It needs to be painted but is in overall good condition. My uncle who is a diesel mechanic has had the engine apart and was surprised at how clean she was. Together we both worked on these improvements. The pictures show the shoot without the flap which I will be replacing with a new one this week. The tachometer also does not function and the throttle minder could probably be replaced as it tends to slow down after hours of use. It would be a great first chipper if your just getting in the business or do alot of side work. Its great for pruning days but not so great for big crane jobs.

Will consider reasonable offers.

[marlinspiker]

get it on a boat marlin haha

 

[Maui Palm & Tree Care]

5k is not bad. hmmmmm let me think about it for awhile. im using a bandit model 60xp right now with a 6" opening. would be nice to chip bigger wood with a 12". less heavy lifting thats for sure. dont wait for me though. sell it if you get someone interested. if i can come up with the money i might even have my friend drive it for me to cali so i can put it on a boat. we really have no chipper dealers here in hawaii. wish we had bandit dealer.

 

[marlinspiker]

[marlinspiker]

Still available. When you pick it up Ill give you a tour of our shop! we have a museum of weird taxidermy and other oddities!

 

[Maui Palm & Tree Care]

taxidermy? so im guessing you hunt?? we got some big spotted axis deer here on maui. i dropped a 6 point last year. the meat was good and very lean.

 

[Maui Palm & Tree Care]

i forgot to ask. how big is the opening? 12"?

 

[marlinspiker]

not much of a hunter. more of an amateur naturalist 1800s style. i do love flyfishing. yes the opening is 12 inch.

 

[marlinspiker]

im open for trades too. I could use a dump trailer or a plow.

 

[marlinspiker]

correction. the engine is a cummins. and the throttle has been replaced.

 

[marlinspiker]

[marlinspiker]
