2001 Vermeer BC1230a wood chipper- If you want a prefect one- stop reading now! If you are still reading- I sold this machine to a customer about 8 years ago, machines starts,runs and chips. Was repowered with a Ford diesel a few years back after original Perkins failed. Bodywork has a case of the been used in Vt disease- front flip down hood is pretty rusty, one fender is shot, rest isn't terrible. Somebody put different gauges on at some point, oil pressure is great, temp gauage works, tach works but needle is broken off, hour meter reads 1230 and does work but it is not the original meter- true hours unknown. Customer that traded in said sometimes hydraulic oil will foam when you run it a while in hot weather. I ran it last night for a while chipping a small pile I had and saw no indication of that. I did notice feed handle detent is worn so you have to hold handle to keep unit feeding- Think there is a little plastic piece that needs replacing to fix that. Previous owner moved on to a newer, better, bigger machine and this became the spare. This one still does the job though. Priced about as decent as you'll find a 12" power feed diesel chipper @ $7500. Call 802-793-7023 to come take a look. Good starter or homeowner machine
