Thanks Doug. Can't wait to work her some more!

Bruce, the house build will happen when this one is sold. We will list late winter. I don't recall saying I owned cool things. I do like owning cool things though. Cool is a relative term though...

Cute little bugger !
I'm familiar with all their other products, even owned a few, cutting system for a grain platform.
Wasn't aware they were building chippers.
The only chippers I have used were Morbark brand, Eager beaver 290.
They were kind of hard on men and would eat 12 inches easily.

That's some serious girth. Any length limitations?

Morbark and Vermeer are the big names in big chippers out here. The tree guy that cleared my lot had a Morbark that would take 18". My machine is strictly for cleanup as from this point forward, anything over 5" goes in the wood boiler...

Nice chipper Rodney. Even the Vanguard looks pretty good. Looks like a fun jobsite.

Rodney,

When you get your new, little, super cute truck are you keeping this thread alive or am I going to have to locate the SUV truck section of FTE?

That's a long way off Bruce and not sure if it will or won't happen. Either way, I'll still be here...

While machinery **** is nice, some of us even appreciate a good pic of cleared land where a house and shop will go.
