morbark or woodsman

[beowulf343]

Regardless of whether its a Vermeer, Morbark or Woodsman, you're going to use whatever your boss tells you to use. I'm sure his questions are being asked of those that own or have worked on one unlike yourself. Stay up in the trees.

But not maintain , thats the point of this thread, if I worked hourly for someone and he bought a chipper I wouldn't care less of its quality or cost to operate... Believe me I know cause we used to run 30 WC17 for 10 crews and at any given time there were 4 being worked on , just the the NEW HOLLAND skidders that we had outta 25 machines there were never more the 20 running at once..

I'm a bit surprised and guess i have no place commenting in this thread either. How is the owner's opinion of the machine more valuable than the opinion of the guys that run the machine every day? About the only thing my boss knows about the bandit i run for him is how much it cost, how often we do maintenance on it, and how much it costs in fuel (and oddly enough i know all that about the machine too.) I've been the one running it from hour one and know every quirk, problem, in and out of the machine.

I agree maybe your right , I am not discrediting that guys who run the machines but the question is which one is best to own , so that includes all aspects including original cost and how many years of service they will provide , right or am I wrong

Ah, i see, best to own. I missed that subtle semantic. I was thinking best to run. You are right, too many owners i know are more concerned with how cheap they can get the machine and how long it will run with little to no maintenance before crumbling. You forgot resale though. They are often concerned with how much they can resell the wrecked machine for. Thinking about outfits and owners i know, i can see how this would be far more valuable to an owner. Thank you for clearing that up.

To the op, i have no opinion on either machine, even though the first decade of my career was spent feeding a morbark on a daily basis.

Morbark, I only say that because I have absolutely NO experience with a woodsman, so I guess I will shut up now.
