Need help finding a certain whole tree chipper

[bkellyvtme]

I do not know the name, but it is able to chip smaller chips than 2x2. Does anyone know what this brand is or am I mistaken and no such thing exists? ???

Not sure how big of a machine you are looking for but the massive Peterson 5000H will make chips as small as 1/4" according to their latest ad.

That's the one!  8) Thanks. Any others out there that can chip that small?

I have seen two Vermeers in action on jobs, one is a 24" whole log chipper, the other a Vermeer 30"  INCREABLE and BIG machines for a tree crew. The units are set up the monitor the feed rates and increase or decrease depending upon how much RPM's are being gained or lost. BIG dollars too as I recall.

CBI makes a setup for their grinders that will make 'microchips'(not to be confused with cellphones and ipods) that are suitable to go directly into the dryer at a pellet mill. The prices are steeeeeeeep though!!!!

I like that CBI better than the Peterson. They are pricey though, although what isn't nowa days. Wonder if you could ever make your money back on a new chipper or grinder?

Around here there are contractors that will park all their CTL gear to keep the big chippers running 24/7 as they are the only thing they can make money with they claim.
