Thanks guys! Well the chipper was awesome .... Very powerful and ate brush and logs like nothing ! Only thing was when it got dropped off the Vermeer person didn't know much about it ( was a trade in) they left, we got it running, chute wouldn't swivel, call to morbark USA resolved that issue, and the chute flap to make the chips go up and down was missing, battery was dead ( had to boost it was fine for the rest of the job) tires need replaced. No biggy. Made my bc1000 look like a bit silly. Ate the spruce logs, willow and ash with ease, I am very impressed and will likely buy it if they deduct what work it needs done. Only thing I am worried about is service and support, I called the only morbark dealer in ontario got his answering machine which mailbox was full, called all day( it's his cell phone) no luck. If anyone else has any other numbers for the morbark people in Ontario please share, this is the deal breaker!
Oh I bought it alright ! Only has 611 hours. Has the Perkins 110 not the Cat. Asking price was 14500 I paid 13000. We demo'd a brand new bc1500 for a week and all my guys liked the morbark better ! I am planning on adding a winch. The things a monster and hope to have many good years with it ! I'm keeping the bc1000 for a backup as well as my bandit for small and island jobs. Although I'm on the hunt for a grapple/chip truck now though!
