50 -60k depending on age, condition etc. One of them actually has new engine, drum and axle.

Definitely pick of the bunch.

Careful with those new axles. We got a new axle on our 1800XL and the brake disc shattered.

That can't be right, a new drum would cost boat loads. Local council with a Rayco 17" were hit with a $17k replacement fee for the drum on their chipper.

ARG, are you going with Vermeer again? We're really happy with our Bandit 1890. 18 months and 875 hrs so far, trouble free.

I am going to look around. Must admit done 1500 on one of the new ones and no dramas. Been a really good machine. They have fixed the axle problem now and I believe they have just brought out a new drum with a thicker skin.

All Rayco RC16.5 chippers have dangerous drums that Rayco USA are going to replace free of charge! Rayco here in Australia are not telling anyone until they have new drum to replace, Just Ask Active Tree Service in Mt Kuring gai they have had a few fail and even had a a worker injured when the drum failed. Steer clear as these machines are not made that well and when they go bang you don't want to be around.
