Marty is incredible. I called bearcat cold asking for advice on an older machine. They connected me to Marty. I was a stranger to Marty and he spoke to me for at least an hour. He couldn’t have been kinder, more thorough, and basically gave me an education on wood chippers. Only then did I realize that he was actually the designer and he took his time, care, and consideration, to not only speak to me, if this machine in particular, but gave me an education and an understanding of what it would require. Not only did he spend this much time with me, but he did it again a month later. What a sensational, human being. Not to mention these are hands-down. The best machines made. Can’t say enough good things about Marty. Great video by the way. Thank you.
At 27K plus tax I would just save up for a Brush Bandit or Morbark. Or buy a used brush bandit 250XP for $20.000 with low hours. I just would not pay almost 30 thousand bucks for this.
This looks like a high end homeowner/farm machine. VG engine, but the chassis is not heavy enough for tree service abuse. That feed table would be bent in no time.
Rick Ciotti That is true it is a landowner machine it would be junk in no time doing more than that, But I think if somebody spends that much on a machine like this they are going to put alot of hours on it.
Overpriced and too complicated with a computer here and another one there and a speed control on this side and the starter and throttle on the other. Make it simple and drop the price. 27k is too much for such a small unit.
It'd be a good unit for a pruning crew that's just doing pruning on mature shade trees, anything bigger I'd definitely go for a Bandit 15x or a Vermeer bc 1200xl, Vermeer bc 1500 & Vermeer bc 1800xl. PLEASE DO REVIEWS ON BANDIT & VERMEER EQUIPMENT, Also check out a branch manager grapple for the dingo! The guy who started the company is named Dave Nordgaard owns top-notch equipment & branch manager LLC literally the best tree grapple you can get for a mini. Dave is also selling his own line of articulated wheel loaders as well. I've met him a handful of times, really nice guy and he knows exactly what a tree company wants since he also owned a big tree company in Minnesota befroe he sold off to bartlett.
James. His grapple is awesome. I've got one. He dropped the line of articulated loaders they're now selling other brands. The giant brand that he brought into the U.S. ...is awesome though. My buddy has one. No turf damage, good capacity, and great speeds.
Our morbark would eat that little thing for breakfast! That’s not a commercial unit! It wouldn’t last a year with any light tree service! Ours chips 24”
I run chippers in the fires out west, Mobarks are hogs, bandits are pretty good too.... Vermeer to electronic ! This thing just looks like really small and generic
Morbark owner here. And it is the best I had. I’ve try all the brands and morbark is the brand that I hook every morning knowing that he will do it. Even if I try to beat it...
historicbeef yes sir ours is a 1997 model and it’s still a beast! Change the knifes one or twice a year and regular maintenance the thing can’t be stopped! We’ll put whole trees in it and it’ll not even bog once
The goal of innovation on products like this is to reduce the amount of work a person needs to do, and expand what the machine is capable of. This means allowing machines to think in a limited capacity so they can accept more of the workload. It might seem dumb to put a computer on a wood chipper, but someday people will point at a tree and some machine will fell it and reduce it to chips all on it's own.
So here is the down side to this. The echo dealers I know suck at maintaining larger equipment. You bring in a dingo and most of them croak. Additionally I can get the same quality of work with a Vermeer 900 BC cost $25,000 with 4 year extended warranty 2.7% interest financing. The Vemeer dealer will be standing outside, bay open waiting on me every time I bring in that machine for servicing and repairs. They will even lend me a similar or more powerful machine until mine is ready. Echo will get their lunch eating every day. But feel free to offer me a demo, I'll be more than happy to review it.
Great video along with maintenance, maybe a little Green Wood ie Honeysuckle, Willow etc. also some time a large Tub Grinder for the salvage companies and clean up Hurricane mess ..
I have an older gas powered 922 from echo. It is a great chipper. I would love for you to pass on my contact info as I have fixed and redesigned a couple areas they didn't build heavy enough. For those that say it won't hold up, I am a professional tree service and have been running this as my primary chipper for 10 years now. As long as you understand how to run a machine you can get a lot of work done with this unit. I do firewood and process wood for various uses so I normally chip 6 to 7 inch stuff which this thing does without question. You can tell from the video the blades should've been changed. That's why it was struggling.
@@mikeyjohnson6610 I had to reweld the ring at the base of the chute. At the same time as the required fix I made the tolerances tighter and used thicker steel for the ring. It has helped a lot.
Awesome video man, as usual very thurough. Would you mind Doing a video on the Toro Dingo? Seems like it could be incredibly useful in the right hands.
It’s great machine but I see one point that could be a problem. The rev. Sensor is exposed ( not covered ) if it gets dirty from the surrounding dirt it will not be able to count the revs, therefore will not allow the feed to work. That’s what I think. I could be wrong.
I have used a number of these machines and the older ones with OUT the key pad work the best! That key pad is almost invisible in the sun and try using with a pair of gloves.
Im pretty sure my bandit 65 has a bigger flywheel. That "clutch" is not cool ive never seen anything like that besides a mower. Im going to stick with my Bandit's but great vid!
I dont really see this being a commercial chipper... the reverse bar is tiny and in an odd location. There isn't a yoke to put more pressure on the wood or to open the feed wheels( atleast didnt show it) no winch and the read out is where it should go. Foot petal for clutch isn't the best for someone who does tree work year round just another thing for salt to get into and destroy. The disc hood needs tools to open it rather than a pin. Never a fan of the knee bars vermeer does it on theirs and the smallest branches trip it. Disc chipper are kinda falling to the way side, drum are becoming more and more popular. From what I have seen drum chippers dont whip the brush around as much as disc. Might have been just the age of the chipper but the bed knife on drums were always easier to adjust than the anvil on discs. Long story short get a bandit 250xp. Those will take a beating and keep on chipping.
“ Hey I know let’s put the computer at the mouth of the chipper”. Seems like a decent machine but that’s a bonehead location for that. Should be removable easy clip on and off. Connected by at least a 10’ cord. Retractable back into the cabinet would be extra sexy. 27 k seems like a lot of loot for a chipper to me but it’s not my industry so I really have no idea. What do you think about the price to quality ratio? Is 27 K in line with other manufacturers of the same powered machine?
Great video Stan! Would love to see some gas chain saw & smaller bear cat chipper, reviews. Would also love your insight on how to grow your business. Thanks again brother.
I have a little 20 year old homeowner level sears craftsman chipper 5.5 horse power, for as small as it is it keeps up no problem with anything you wouldn’t burn
(Stanley) yeah... can you come over so I can demo that chipper? 6 hours later gets his whole yard brush free and a free pile of wood chips... Now beat it!
These are the machines that juxtapose the usual "Warning: serious injury or death may occur if this is misused or safety warnings are not heeded" with "DANGER: DEATH or serious injury WILL occur..." As I stated in my earlier post, these things will hurt you. They're designed to tear things apart. If you aren't careful, it'll be you. I heard of a landscaper that got eaten by one.
I cant see any city using a small chipper like that. There are some glaring issues i can see on that i know the city i work for would turn that thing away
Anyone cutting in a bucket truck near that chipper will destroy that screen and the feed opening is too small. Any type of tree that has alot of bends in the branches like a Locust tree will have a hard to feed into it.
I have a quick question. So i am currently 18 years old and i am starting up my own construction company but one problem i have ran into so far is tools my crew is growing and not all of them have power tools we are all students still. I have some tools such as a Milwaukee impact driver, a dewalt circular saw and a old miter saw i got for free from my uncle. I cant seem to decide which brand to go with for my company its between Milwaukee and dewalt what do you think the best brand would be? We do allmost everything in all fields of construction becides concrete. I plan on in the future expanding my crew and having multiple crews out at a time and also adding a couple of work trucks when the time comes. Do you have any advice i can have to get my company growing faster? We dont have to much money yet to buy new equipment.
My advice is don’t try to grow too fast,do the jobs that you quote for,do them at a reasonable price,do them well,but above all,be contactable and reliable, you will go quick enough if you are doing it right, brands of tools don’t matter as long as they are decent and stay within your financial budget,growing too quick has one serious drawback,a lack of cash coming in fast enough, this my friend can ruin you, Just some tips
Buy equipment with cash. Do not go into debt to build your company. Also what the previous gentleman said. Do a good job every time, be prompt, courteous, train your crew to do the same, and you will have more business than you know what to do with!
I feel like it should be pointed out. The way you were driving the toro, were you staring at the "carry load low" sticker? I realize its light load and I do the same on our baby bobcat, just think it's funny every time
The chipper seems sweet I really wanted something like this for my personal use you know small jobs just the pickup and me instead of the bucket truck and and the big terex 13 inch chipper but when I heard that price ooof that’s not worth it you could get a morbark for that price 12 inch
That is one great chipper. They also make some homeowners models that are great. I had a cheap ass DR chipper but will never buy anything from them again. They just do not stand behind there warranty. DR will screw you for a warranty issue yes I paid the $43 dollar bill on a 2 day old machine so you get what you pay for. Long story short dont buy DR products ! Great machine ECHO !
Tree chippers scare me...I've had one buck a log I was feeding In...the end of it came up fast and nearly took my nose off...if I'd been an inch closer it woulda taken off my head! We had a guy here in Phoenix get eaten by one. His brother said, I turned around to get another log, and my brother wasn't there.😱😪
ehhh not that awesome of a machine. Ive worked with Vermeer mobark and brush bandit and honestly I always felt safer with the vermeer and the computer and safety controls they had on the vermeers
I run a check and duck every day I get tired of it an just mulch brush in dump trailer with a saw those chippers are violent as hell ide love to have that chipper in the video
This fucking thing is no commercial woodchipper. Maybe a farm use/heavy homeowner use with a large estate but not commercial. We have chippers this size that will chip 12"-18" logs. And 2 chippers that could chip this entire machine. This thing is junk. 3 words: Bandit, Vermeer, morbark.
Looking at the comments looks like most the pros think it to small and too costly for a pro tree service. Echo evidently need to work on there game and the service program as well I have drive a half hour to get warranty work done and I live in the second largest city in Iowa
A half hour may not sound like much but you can pass 15 stehl dealers in town that can work on the equipment in less than ten mins without leaving town or even going to another part of town. With that said it only takes about 20 min to get from one end of town to the other here as well
That pretty little computer on the back will be broken off in 2 days and no need for it but i guess that's why it's 27k the Machine is wroth 7 and the computer is 20,k
9 inch chipper yawnnnn, the company I used to work for had a Vermeer 2100 21 inch chipper, my own chipper is a bandit 250 15 inch. I don't know who the target buyer is, too small for any tree service and too big for any homeowner fail
Marty is incredible. I called bearcat cold asking for advice on an older machine. They connected me to Marty. I was a stranger to Marty and he spoke to me for at least an hour. He couldn’t have been kinder, more thorough, and basically gave me an education on wood chippers. Only then did I realize that he was actually the designer and he took his time, care, and consideration, to not only speak to me, if this machine in particular, but gave me an education and an understanding of what it would require. Not only did he spend this much time with me, but he did it again a month later. What a sensational, human being. Not to mention these are hands-down. The best machines made. Can’t say enough good things about Marty. Great video by the way. Thank you.

Yea it’s not worth the money and where’s the dealer support?
FishFind3000 True dealer support is key! When I first saw these I was thinking they would be around 15K For because of the light-duty build.
I would save up for a bandit chipper than this thing
Overpriced and too complicated with a computer here and another one there and a speed control on this side and the starter and throttle on the other. Make it simple and drop the price. 27k is too much for such a small unit.

Yes !!!
A brand new Vermeer 12" is 30k plus tax which is one of the most well known and trusted brands in tree care
Edit: I found the 9" with kubota diesel for 20k plus tax now lol they smartened up
Why does everyone put computers on their machines? Why in the world would you want a computer on a wood chipper?
It actually is for health reasons. Sort of a FitBit.
Feed control mostly. If you want reliable machine go with morbark. Simplest machine.
Less is better . nobody want to fix more bullshit

Id love to see a mini skid showdown, Bobcat, Vermeer, Toro, Ditch Witch etc
Great video along with maintenance, maybe a little Green Wood ie Honeysuckle, Willow etc. also some time a large Tub Grinder for the salvage companies and clean up Hurricane mess ..
Ahhh... and the Toro Dingo TXL2000 teasing right before the GIE expo...well played Stanley.

Hey there I have a echo bearcat 76628, and the chute bounces while driving. Any ideas how to repair that? Can't find much information.. thank you!
@@mikeyjohnson6610 I had to reweld the ring at the base of the chute. At the same time as the required fix I made the tolerances tighter and used thicker steel for the ring. It has helped a lot.
I have a bear cat log spilter and I have been wait on a Warranty wedge for 6 months I call BS when he says all the parts are available
Awesome video man, as usual very thurough. Would you mind Doing a video on the Toro Dingo? Seems like it could be incredibly useful in the right hands.

Bear cat equipment has allways been awesome
Why not park the chipper next to the wood pile eliminate the need for the dingo
Nice, for its size it performs very well
Great looking machine.
Great review!
I have used a number of these machines and the older ones with OUT the key pad work the best! That key pad is almost invisible in the sun and try using with a pair of gloves.
It has the power. But the structure seems light. I use a Vermeer bc625a with a 26 kohler with over 2000 hours all original main components
27k for a 9-inch chipper? Seems really overpriced for such a small unit. Just buy a brush bandit or morbark.
Im pretty sure my bandit 65 has a bigger flywheel. That "clutch" is not cool ive never seen anything like that besides a mower. Im going to stick with my Bandit's but great vid!
Our brush bandit would eat this thing for breakfast

He is right about Kabota Diesels ya know. :) great video.
Thank you for making our purchasing decisions so much easier!
Thank you Brandon, glad the vids have helped you out
Good video Stan!
I enjoyed meeting Zander at GIE. He's a good guy, smart ass, but a good guy, lol.
Well I thought you were going to feed the chipper with the Toro, ty for the entertainment
“ Hey I know let’s put the computer at the mouth of the chipper”. Seems like a decent machine but that’s a bonehead location for that. Should be removable easy clip on and off.

Can y’all do a review video on the smaller homeowner chipper
What kind of oil should I run with 1.1 Kubota engine?
I really like videos like this. Thank you
Thanks Carl!
I need your mentality. I can't even save for a new walk behind or mower in general
I have a little 20 year old homeowner level sears craftsman chipper 5.5 horse power, for as small as it is it keeps up no problem with anything you wouldn’t burn
(Stanley) yeah... can you come over so I can demo that chipper? 6 hours later gets his whole yard brush free and a free pile of wood chips... Now beat it!
Wow Awesome brother thanks for sharing keep up the awesome work kick ass Machine
I WOULD NOT GET ANYTHING SMALLER THAN A VERMEER BC 1000 THAT YOU CAN FEED WITH A FRONT END LOADER
Do a review of the Vermeer BC 1500 my work has had one for over 15 years and it is still a beast.
Having your own wood chipper sure would be the berry's an a stump grinder
These are the machines that juxtapose the usual "Warning: serious injury or death may occur if this is misused or safety warnings are not heeded" with "DANGER: DEATH or serious injury WILL occur..." As I stated in my earlier post, these things will hurt you. They're designed to tear things apart. If you aren't careful, it'll be you. I heard of a landscaper that got eaten by one.
Looks like a nice farm chipper but can't see it sucking in small spruce tops or 6 inch materail with lots of branches
Look out Stan!
Do a walk through of a bandit chipper
What about the dingo, review coming soon?
its a really large dingo i would like to see one
Try a ditch witch mini skid. They're great.
Hello Sir can you do a segment on your Toro Dingo 1000 , 1 on the other Toro Dingos on Tires those are very popular in Louisiana Thanks.
try the skid steer lawn mowing attachment
You can buy 3 chinese machines with much larger capacity for 30k
@Rövhålgren CP Arselstedt this thing is horribly overpriced
It was great very informative
Happy to hear that, thanks Jake!
I'd like to have one. I wonder if they do RTO.
What about the homeowner one you talk about the big one but not the small chipper
I'd just rent a commercial unit
Does a production unit have any emissions controls? Just noticed the smoke on start up and rev
Bring that thing over Stanley, I have a good 300 hours of work for it at my place!
That's a really compact chipper for its power
👍
I cant see any city using a small chipper like that. There are some glaring issues i can see on that i know the city i work for would turn that thing away
What "glaring" issues do you see?
Anyone cutting in a bucket truck near that chipper will destroy that screen and the feed opening is too small. Any type of tree that has alot of bends in the branches like a Locust tree will have a hard to feed into it.
Also compared to its competitors it looked pretty hard to get it to take a decent sized limb with such a small mouth
I have a quick question. So i am currently 18 years old and i am starting up my own construction company but one problem i have ran into so far is tools my crew is growing and not all of them have power tools we are all students still. I have some tools such as a Milwaukee impact driver, a dewalt circular saw and a old miter saw i got for free from my uncle. I cant seem to decide which brand to go with for my company its between Milwaukee and dewalt what do you think the best brand would be? We do allmost everything in all fields of construction becides concrete. I plan on in the future expanding my crew and having multiple crews out at a time and also adding a couple of work trucks when the time comes. Do you have any advice i can have to get my company growing faster? We dont have to much money yet to buy new equipment.

Yeah I don't like the belt drive system.
I feel like it should be pointed out. The way you were driving the toro, were you staring at the "carry load low" sticker? I realize its light load and I do the same on our baby bobcat, just think it's funny every time
Wow over priced , to small for that price
It's worth about 10 k tops.
The chipper seems sweet I really wanted something like this for my personal use you know small jobs just the pickup and me instead of the bucket truck and and the big terex 13 inch chipper but when I heard that price ooof that’s not worth it you could get a morbark for that price 12 inch
Nice machine looks good and I’d love one but not for that price
Wait I didn’t see the price that thing is way over price
,$27,000 for a chipper that only chip a 9in log ....... Lol and nobody likes to lift limbs tht high
Yea i dont think so. I hade one with a 35 vangard. Looks litel better now. But i take my forst tr8 evry day.
I sure don't like that controller/display right over the infeed.
Jack of Many Trades thank you! I was thinking the same thing. Its in the way.
I love wood chippers there so cool
That is one great chipper. They also make some homeowners models that are great. I had a cheap ass DR chipper but will never buy anything from them again. They just do not stand behind there warranty. DR will screw you for a warranty issue yes I paid the $43 dollar bill on a 2 day old machine so you get what you pay for. Long story short dont buy DR products ! Great machine ECHO !
Tree chippers scare me...I've had one buck a log I was feeding In...the end of it came up fast and nearly took my nose off...if I'd been an inch closer it woulda taken off my head! We had a guy here in Phoenix get eaten by one. His brother said, I turned around to get another log, and my brother wasn't there.😱😪
3 years ago here in davenport, iowa we had a company have a guy go through the chipper. They had disabled the safety bar for some reason. Red mist.
@@thephishh That...that is horrifying. I'm terribly sorry about that. There aren't words.
"can take a 9" log"
And as you can see, one after the other. Sounds like my ex.
That is also a beast
They get that at Wal-Mart??
TOO SMALL
I RENTED ONE THAT SIZE . MY GUYS HATED IT . WE TOOK IT BACK AND NEVER USED ONE THAT SMALL AGAIN !
Nice wood chipper.
my uncle owns t and k tree service and to one of his chippers this on is a baby
Do you know what a millwright is?
ehhh not that awesome of a machine. Ive worked with Vermeer mobark and brush bandit and honestly I always felt safer with the vermeer and the computer and safety controls they had on the vermeers
Im laughing at these comments. Stan, Echo has some work to do on their chippers!
hey gotta try chuck duck wood chipper 12" totally different animal
I run a check and duck every day I get tired of it an just mulch brush in dump trailer with a saw those chippers are violent as hell ide love to have that chipper in the video
I think you took advantage of the demo unit. And put everything you wouldn't put threw your own chipper....
This fucking thing is no commercial woodchipper. Maybe a farm use/heavy homeowner use with a large estate but not commercial. We have chippers this size that will chip 12"-18" logs. And 2 chippers that could chip this entire machine. This thing is junk. 3 words: Bandit, Vermeer, morbark.
The worst spot to mount that computer I own 5 brush bandits biggest a 1890xp smallest a 150xp the 86hp 12” 150 runs circles around this toy
nice machine for a landscaper not so much for a tree service
if you can find old chuck duck chipper way better I have one use around farm can't kill it beast.
Have they announced the price point on the toro tx2000?
Id like to habe this but its a lil costly
Looking at the comments looks like most the pros think it to small and too costly for a pro tree service. Echo evidently need to work on there game and the service program as well I have drive a half hour to get warranty work done and I live in the second largest city in Iowa
A whole half hour! What were they thinking not building a service center next to your business?
A half hour may not sound like much but you can pass 15 stehl dealers in town that can work on the equipment in less than ten mins without leaving town or even going to another part of town. With that said it only takes about 20 min to get from one end of town to the other here as well
That pretty little computer on the back will be broken off in 2 days and no need for it but i guess that's why it's 27k the Machine is wroth 7 and the computer is 20,k
Great for the feedback,I’m sure he will take it onboard
How much for the dingo
