2000 morbark tornado 13 or vermeer bc1400 ????

[jonb101]

The morbark has 700hrs and the bc1400 has 1000 what would you choose???

Help me out this is my first chipper purchase.

Depends on price. I have been most impressed by the bandit 1390xp though if I was going to buy a chipper that size. What is the weight difference between the morbark and vermeer? What is the difference in the overall condition? How old are each?

Stay far away from those BC1400's! There is a reason they don't make em anymore! Do a search. Go with the morbark

as someone who services chippers for a living i would recommend staying away from the vermeer and the morbark. morbark has major feed problems with those machines and the vermeer is just JUNK. look into other brands !!!

Whatever you do, DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM TRI STATE FORESTRY EQUIPMENT (jo6wo), unless you like to pay for a over priced pile of crap with a new paint job.

So I have decided to go with the morbark

It is a 2000 tornado 13 with only 461 hours on it was owned by the city of LA

I hope I made a good choice.

That Morbark is no good. I just sold a chipper to a guy who looked at it, said it was crap. There is an older M13 in my yard that is beat to hell, he looked at it and said its in better shape then that one. I have seen a lot of 13's coming out of the City of LA, they tend to have low hours on the meter but have cracked frames, welds all over the place and not in very good condition. The the 17 or 18 k they are asking you could do a lot better.

The BC1400 is not the BC1500, very popular. The Morbark model 13 is not the M15, also very popular.
All chippers have there problems, mostly depending on how they have been used.
The Vermeer has a weak drum that caused problems when used to hard and not maintained properly.
The early 13's clogged real easy.

Damn-it! Where I wrote "not" I meant to write "now". Completely changes what I was trying to say.

So, how'd it go with the chipper??
Did it workout?

I wasn't aware one could be sued for telling the truth. If he doesn't like what folks say about him, then he should change his ways. I can't ever remember thinking he gave correct advice about equipment. Tried to rep ya, but gotta spread it some more first.

FIRST OFF IF YOUR GONNA ADVERTISE ON HERE, YOU SHOULD PAY TO BE A SPONSER LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

You probably should make that 998 customers, because i am sure the guy from colorado won't give you a good review. Just say!

I still wanna know why you dont give the customer a copy of the boom and dielectric test paperwork, which it is requied by law for the owner of the truck to keep filed.
