Vermeer BC1400tx Track mounted chipper

[MattB]

Anyone have any experience using one of these machines?

I've been dreaming about what I could do with one of these for that last couple years but $100k is just a little out of my price range.

There are a couple of guys up here in Washington that have simular machines and they can come in handy if you have the jobs with the requirement. Even in residential they could save you work in some places. For me I'd say no and by a bucket first.

Not going to be able to use it in many residential places at over 10,000 lbs!! :jawdrop:

I do most of my work in rural settings. I am leaning more towards fire fuels reductions, wood lot management and ranch management these days. A track chipper is exactly what I need.
