I had one but sold it about 5 years back. It was a good unit and never had any trouble with it. I learned from the dealer who sold it for me on consignment that the drum was cracked. We loaded it with whole trees for land clearing using skid steer and beaver squeezer.

Did you have any issues with it blocking up the chute?I noticed theres vents that can be adjusted on the side of the drum how do they go?

Damm just went to order some knives off wesspur and they don't stock them anymore!

Never had the chute blocked or plugged. Never had to adjust vents. I only did regular maintenance like changing the knives, oil, grease.

yeah big chippers are nice. really takes the sting out of dealing with the wood.

gotta get the winch going though man. life is easy with a winch.
