Help with PTO Chipper Selection

[hseII]

Absolutely! Except the last couple days... blew the rears out of our 550 so the single wheel 350 has had to step up! Man is that chipper heavy for that little truck. Otherwise loving life. Been trying to find the videos I posted go it eating 12-14" silver maple.

I don't plan to run anything that big thru mine, but wow!!

I never thought a gasoline Chipper would have the Stone's to do that.

Darn Emissions.

It is funny how full circle we have come. The industry started with gm's and ford industrial engines. The 300 straight 6 was a beast. Went to diesel, then huge diesels an now coming back to the gassers.
Oh forgot to mention @monkeylove 's hurrculise!

I found a municipal bid for a 15R, $21k and change, $1500 to add autofeed, and $3.5k to add the trailer option as best I recall.

It Sounds like a M8 is going to be more where I want to be based on both price & weight.

All things equal,

I guess the question now is,

Morbark M8 or Bandit 90/95xp. Both with auto feed.

Next question,
To Winch, or not to Winch?
