Art,
What manufactures and what models of chippers would you recommend for Kubota Grand L3130? I'm looking at chipping small hardwood, tops, and pine limbs. I have not yet purchased the tractor but I'm thinking about attempting to get everything at once if I can afford it. I have read about power feed but the expense will probably hit me here.
Yet, I thought you would have the experience at dealing with recommendations for this particular tractor. Thanks.

Art, I know my next step is to get out there and test drive these tractors. This should help me make my decision but being a one time tractor owner (the one I'm about to buy)I'm still concerned about maintenance cost and more importantly repair cost. If I go with a Kubota, which would be longer lasting and least costly should it need repair, the DT or the GST. Here I'm concerned with the overall cost and with all things being equal in annual maintenance and tender loving care on handling the machine, not abusing it. The JD is the only other make I'm considering, but the increased cost and future costs of maintenance and repair have me undecided. Do you have suggestions or comments on what I should consider in order to make that final decision?
