Wanted small Chipper

Alby · 21st September 2009, 10:43 PM

Any chance you can post some more info about the machine? Does that price include delivery?

Drouin Tree Service · 22nd September 2009, 01:09 AM

What HP options does it come with?

20k is cheap but 27hp

Apocalypsse · 22nd September 2009, 01:37 AM

According to Morbark USA its only 27hp petrol. The Vermeer has the same power and the Rayco has 2hp less. Bandit/Chipstar/Red Roo are all 30s/40s.

Folks,
see here:
Morbark 6" Spec Sheet

There are a few of these around. There is quite an informative article here about the machine.

Cheers,

Joe

PS price includes delivery although it may depend on where you are....

Hi Morbark, do you have any idea on what the Beever M8D would cost in Aus? Can you put me into contact with owners of the 6 and or 8inch

Morbark - RSA · 27th September 2009, 05:43 PM

PM'd!

Hope the "new"owner is better than the last lot of rogues

doubt it thou.

I love my bandit 6 inch i think its 1380kg, it could do with a second infeed roller, I haven't heard about the timing belt issue its something I should check out as its coming up to 1000hrs

Looks like morbark are getting their stuff together in aus

Chris75 · 10th October 2009, 02:00 PM

I'm also chasing a small chipper, a 9" under 1800kg would be ideal but I'll probably have to settle on a 6". There is so few second hand hand chippers in Perth it's hard to find them. I may consider the 6" morbark if nothing turns up but budget is only about $15k max.
I have seen a 1992 Vermeer BC620 for $11,500. It has a 27hp petrol with 2600 hrs on it. It looks quite crappy but seems to be OK mechanically. It seems a bit pricey for an old 6" to me or is this what I should expect to pay for one?

If anyone in WA comes across any please let me know.

Chris75 · 27th October 2009, 06:00 PM

Well we've just ordered a Morbark 6" chipper from our local dealer. It came in close to our budget and should be here before christmas.

TrevMcRev · 27th October 2009, 07:09 PM

Good going Chris

I were just about to say the vermeer would be my least prefered 6",

So you've done well to go to a brand new Morbark.

Drouin Tree Service · 27th October 2009, 07:17 PM

Be good to hear some feedback on this chipper!

Morbark - RSA · 28th October 2009, 01:24 PM

I'll be flying over to check it out!

Chris75 · 28th October 2009, 01:38 PM

I'll let you know when it comes and give some some feedback. Fingers crossed for pre xmas delivery.

Drouin Tree Service · 2nd March 2010, 05:39 PM

So how did this chipper go??

Chris75 · 2nd March 2010, 07:13 PM

A bit of an update. We finally got the chipper and have given it a couple of days hard work. For the work we usually do it will be ideal but we used it for a couple of eucalyptus removals which really tested it.
We chipped everything that we could fit into the 6" x 11" opening. It is a bit slow on the big stuff but it keeps one person fairly busy without too much waiting. It's light and easy tow and chips as well as we expected it to.
A imagine a decent diesel engine would improve the speed but it would also increase the weight. We are only working part time and will mainly stick to residential pruning so for what what we do it is ideal.
The build quality is excellent and the only thing that could improve it would be a more powerful motor.

Drouin Tree Service · 2nd March 2010, 07:27 PM

The build quality really is there with morbark,You can tell as soon as you see them IMHO
