Detailed Chipper Features and Engineering

Is this the dirt monkey with PPE? Hey, I was just giving Xander a little bit of crap. Xander, show them who you are. It's this kid again. Yeah, it's that kid again. He's a good kid, guys. But I'm with Marty. And Marty actually is one of the guys that builds chippers, the prototypes. How long have you been doing this, Marty? Uh, I've been with Bearcat now for about 5 years. Started out in their research and development department, uh, building prototypes for the engineers. So, is this the biggest one Bearcat has? This is the biggest, baddest one Bearcat has. And this is a This will take a 9in log. This will take a 9in log. Okay. So, this is what's throwing me for a loop. When you tell me this will take a 9in log, it's a really small package. It is. This is about a third of what I'm used to seeing when I see a chipper that can handle. How much power does this have? We're running the Cabona 2.250 2 L 50 horsepower diesel. A 50 horse. Yeah. That's the same as in one of my skid loaders. One of my midsize skid loaders has [snorts] around 50 horsepower and it's raising. It's the same thing you're running right here. Okay. So, one of the questions that I got, Marty, that automatically comes up when I look at a chipper like this is longevity. How much does a chipper like this cost, Marty? This chipper here, we're looking probably what 27 27,000. 27,000. Is that from a guy that just does dirt work mostly? Is that a Is that in the middle of the ballpark? Highend, low end. Where are we at with in price on that? Arguably, it's going to be pretty highend. Would this be fitting for a commercial? Yeah. Contractor. This is commercial, right? So, you said a yard unit. And when I think of a yard, I'm thinking a homeowner yard unit. Now, you brought a homeowner. This Tell me, correct me if I'm wrong. Now, this is a homeowner yard unit, right? Oh, yeah. Definitely. This is the garden maintenance guy. This is the property maintenance guy. This is this is the homeowner. That is We've got uh cities, municipalities that utilize this machine. I mean, this is the highest we go. Anything bigger than this, you're looking at you're looking at other chippers. But when you go a bigger chipper, then the size and price increases like exponentially almost. I mean, cuz then you're looking at almost like tub grinders and you're just it's just insane. What was the thought process for the user that's going to buy this, invest 27, 30,000 bucks or whatever it is, and want to keep that thing…
