found an ad recently for a vermeer bc1000 with 200 hrs. any idea what it is worth?
Hope it aint the one that Chet's brother had ripped off!
If it is it moved pretty fast. :) Less than a week ago it was working in Ohio, dat is before it took wings. :-\
i really doubt it, the ad was in the paper almost a week ago.
Chet, does he have any leads on where is went yet? Did he find another one? Its probably on its way south, tho one of the hurricane states. :-\
Ya know, I can figure out the stupidity of thieves. We had a guy up here that stole a skidder, painted it, then proceded to start logging. If your going to steal, why not STEAL MONEY? Why steal work?
Thieves are low-lifes. There is no two ways about it.
A Thief that will steal another man's tools is the lowest of them all.
:D :D :D
My uncle always said you could always leave tools, wheel barrows, pick axes and shovels out by the road without fear of anyone ever taking them because they'de have to go to work then. :D :D :D
hmmm, guess it didn't work for Chet's brother. ::)
My grandfather had two pickups stolen, and one thief was even handed the keys. Got the truck back later from the drunk. In another incident got a call from the RCMP that a truck registered in his name was in an accident. Grandfather told them his truck was in the garage, and there wasn't a scratch on it. That's until he went out to the garage and seen that they had stolen it. :o

I went to www.vermeerused.com and I would guess 20,000-27,000.

Just what is it about a chipper that makes it so expensive?

One of our customers had a truck and and brand new chipper stolen from the jobsite in broad daylight. >:( The crew was behind the house cleaning up
OOW , it's just a guess, but I'll bet a lot of the cost is Liability Insurance. A chipper has a war zone inside. Whether they build it substantially enough or not, if something comes loose, you get to own the company. :)
Dontcha reckon? :D
