opinons on Woods 5000 PTO chipper

Posted by LK - Leesburg, VA on March 17, 2004 at 07:10:34 from (152.163.190.1):

I am buying a farm this month, and the seller has offered me a Woods PTO chipper shredder, model 5000, a rhino hopper spreader and a rhino brush hog for $2200. All are in excellent condition.

The bulk of this price is the chipper. Anybody out there have experience with this model? He claims they are $2800 new, and that the dealer offered to buy it back for $2200 (that seems unlikely to me...).

I need it for general yard cleanup, and for limb disposal from my portable sawmill. I know that this is not a real serious chipper, but I am unlikely to spend lots of bux in the future on a bigger chipper, as my needs are somewhat modest- i.e. not a business.

I just want to know if a pto chipper like this is a toy that will wear out with much use, or if it is a serious, well-built tool.

BTW, my existing tractors that I could power it from are a '56 Ford 650 and a '47 John Deere B.

Thanks
Lynn Kasdorf
