I’m looking to get an 88 or the new 810 here soon. Enjoyed the review, new subscriber

Thanks for subscribing. If you can justify the extra cost, I'd go with the 810. That was not available when I purchased and I don't think I would have bought it at the time. However, after seeing the new design and knowing the insane amount of white pine limbs I may have to chip, it sure would be nice to have for the more efficient discharge.

@@homesteadtwins the 8x10 opening would be helpful for less trimming of branches and the twin flywheel is definitely a nice design to keep pto speed at 540 for the added torque for sure. That was my only turn off to the 68 was the plugging issues some people complained about. Probably not something that happens often though.

​@@foggyvalleyacres Depends on the material. We had to stop trying on a fresh white pine tree. We had to stop every second branch. We didn't have problems in the winter but in the middle of summer we couldn't do it. The pile is still there and hopefully drying out will make it better this summer.

Nice video. Im considering an 88 mostly to chip a ton of short needle spruce and balsam fir saplings (2-4" trunks). Do you think I'll have similar issues to what you described with with white pine?

No, I don't think so. Although I haven't tried that species I think the short needles with go through the chute much better than the long needles.

Thanks for the review. I think I am going to pull the trigger on the purchase of this machine. Are you aware of any coupon codes for this?

Not a coupon code but they are running a free shipping deal right now. I paid $349 for the shipping so at least that is a savings for you.
