Chipper Challenge - Vermeer AX17 versus BC1500 and AX19

We recently took ownership of a brand new Vermeer AX17, their newest sub-10,000 lbs model. It joins an already proven fleet of Vermeer wood chippers we have here at Seattle Tree Care in the BC1500 and AX19. There's no better way to welcome a new chipper to the family than to have a good ole chip-off between the three siblings. Peter and James provide expert opinions and cutting-edge knowledge about all three workhorses. After comparing the AX17 to both the AX19 and BC1500 we throw everything we can at them to see how each holds up. Peter grapples with chunks of Ash, Black Locust, Pine, and Madrone as mechanic-turned-groundsman, James, keeps the rollers turning and the blades cutting. Which one of these three will emerge as the victor? You might be surprised if you're expecting the heavyweight, AX19 to win just because of size. The featherweight BC1500 might have something to say about it. Will the AX17 choke or will it stand on its own and prove newer is better and faster? Vermeer even stops by and shares some very interesting information about what might be coming down the pipe. You don't want to miss this one!
