The woods looks just like the Bearcat I have that was made by Crary Mfg. co. The specs are pretty much the same, except mine says up to 35 hp tractors. My 650 John deere compact diesel has all it wants with it shredding limbs. I bought it new to do some cleaning up around my place and it does a good job. I paid about 2/3 of the price he wants to sell you that one for used. The first thing on a shredder to wear out is the operator. They tell you they will chip a 5" limb, that is true, but 5' limbs are fire wood size and heavy to lift and stick in the chute. The next bad thing about a chipper this size is the lack of a power feed. they don't tell you that to get the limbs and brush to feed into the chute you have to skin it down to a naked stem with out all the little branches then feed it in and regulate it to keep from snatching it out of your hands. The power feed machines take the limb and all the stuff attached to it. Most chippers that have power feed are large 60-100 hp motor driven units, or some of the large pto ones have it, read this as expensive to buy. If I had it to do all over again I would take the money I spent buying a chipper and just rent a large one with a power feed and a fan to blow the chips into a truck or pile and would be better off renting it on an occasional basis and not having $1800.00 machine sitting idle most all the time.

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
