I have a john deere 4110 and am trying to decide between the two chippers. Wallenstein bx 42 or a Liberty, it looks like a Jinma. Any help would be appreciated. Wallenstein costs 2600 but may get an Oregon rebate of 35%. I,ll have to drive 600 miles to get it, or the liberty is 2000 delivered. Liberty 2 yr warranty, wallenstein dont know.

I've never seen a wallenstein so I can't comment but if the liberty is a renamed Jinma there are a lot of comments on that one in the archives here. If you do a topic search on Jinma Chipper you'll probably find a bunch of info.
There was a story going around that one company was taking Jinma chippers, modifying them to beef up the weak spots, and reselling them. Is that what Liberty does? ....

Wallenstein was a small family owned & operated farm implement manufacturing company named for its location in Wallenstein, Ontario, Canada that was sold a few years back to an engineering & fabricating company in the same area.
The Wallenstein area is an old Mennonite (like Amish) area that was known for it's quality workforce, I've never heard anything bad about a Wallenstein product.
The new owners have expanded the product line to include some forestry and power equipment also.
Best of luck. ....

I too am trying to make that decision. A friend has a Walenstein BX62 and is very happy with it. However, the Liberty 6 inch model seems very attractive at K$2 but I can't find any reviews of the Liberty chippers besides what Liberty itself puts out....suspicious?
Any comments on the Liberty chippers would be welcome. ....

You don't have to do anything other than operate it...
The nice thing about the Wallensteins is they self-feed very nicely...when they start to have problems...it is time to sharpen the blades...and then it is self-feed time again... ....

I personally would go with the Wallenstein as it is made in Canada. The Liberty is made in China. ....

I know the W'stein line as they're made down the road. Costlier than the Chinese ones but work better and longer. ....
