Thanks for an informative site!

I found this site through a Google search for information on wood chippers. After extensive research of this site I purchased a Vermeer 1250 yesterday. It is a 1991 model with 1050 hours on it. It was owner by an optic fiber installer who used it rarely on jobs. It has surface rust but expected for a machine of this age. I appreciate the information I learned from this site.

welcome to the site! congrats on the purchase......what'd you pay n how'd you find it? I've been following the site for quite some time n am wanting a chipper too. I'm just a "lurker" cause I say little, but read plenty & enjoy learning. Be safe with your new tool!!!!

I found the chipper on MachineryTrader.com under forestry equipment. The chipper came with a new set of blades installed and a new set in the box. They were asking $6,800 and we agreed on $6,000. Good people to deal with. This was the only chipper they had on the lot. Normally trade on trucks and trailers.

I have a question about my 1250. It has new blades but the anvil appears way out of adjustment. I have searched the net but can't find any information on the setting. Does anyone on the site know what this setting should be? Thanks!

a nickles width is a good rule of thumb to live by. if you don't have the proper tools to do the job stick a nickel in-between the knife and the anvil. then tighten it up. and your set
