Model 8421B Chipper; Carol; Cochrane, AB, Canada, 04/25/08

As a 60-year old woman helping hubby clear our woodlot, I am the satisfied operator!  Love the easy start, easy grease points, easy sharpening.  Love the autofeed, and neat size of chips.  I'm naming our new puppy "chipper."


Greens Roller; Darel; Sandia Golf Club; Albuquerque, NM, 05/28/08

I do like the key start and the seat safety switch.

Greens Roller; Tom; Trenton Country Club; West Trenton, NJ, 05/09/08

We have had a roller for over 10 years and it has been very reliable and durable and has worked out great for us.  The new one is everything we expected it to be.


Greens Roller; William; The Misquamicut Club; Westerly, RI, 04/30/08

We have been a long time user of this machine and it performs as expected. We are a repeat roller customer.  The salesman was very helpful in executing delivery of the machine in the time frame needed.


Model 600PTO Chipper; Erwin; Balloon Rides by Castle View LLC; Cheshire, CT, 04/30/08

The salesman was honest about promoting the chippers performance.  On a scale of 1 thru 10 it rates a 10.  The feed is aggressive and my Kubota 2200 has plenty of power.  Kudos on a great design and excellent workmanship.


Electric Greens Roller; Bruce; Evanston Golf Club; Wheeling, IL, 04/23/08

We like how fast the roller works.


Model 8425K Chipper; Mark; Bayfield, WI; 04/18/08

The sales force was very helpful and answered all of my detailed specification/performance questions.  The machine is well constructed, and industrial/professional grade.  It does a nice job on the aspen polar timber for which it was purchased.


Greens Roller; Josh; Eagle Creek Golf Club; Orlando, FL, 3/20/08

Yes, the machine performs as expected!


Model 627XT Chipper; Robert; Winnsboro, TX, 02/27/08

Yes the machine performs as expected.  It works well, it's well built, and it's Not Chinese!


Wood Chipper; Jeffery; Valley View Farm; Shelburne, VT, 002/07/08

We were unable to see actual machine before we ordered but brochure and internet info/pictures looked good and well built.  We were looking for a U.S. made chipper.  The chipper works very well!!


Model 824 Chipper; Marcel; St-Damien-de-Buckland, QC, 01/10/08

We saw your product at the National Logging and Forestry Show and it made a great impression on us.  We were surprised and happy by it's efficiency.  


Model 6210XT Chipper; Karlo; University Place, WA, 12/13/07

The machine exceeds all expectations and performs flawlessly!


Model 818 Chipper; Gary; Essex County DPW; Elizabethtown, NY, 12/12/07

We bought one the year before and it is very reliable.  The new machine performs very well also.


Model 416B Chipper; Dan; Page Farms and Greenhouses; Penfield, NY, 11/12/07

Before the sale the service was excellent.  I was given a thorough explanation of chipper sizes that fit our needs.  Also, given a tour of manufacturing.  No push from sales, given full attention, all questions answered. The machine performs as expected.  I am completely satisfied and I'm looking to fill future product needs from Salsco.


Model 624PTO Chipper; Robert; Atlantic Diving & Welding Co.; Brandford, CT, 12/10/07

We found that a Kubota B1700 with 13HP at the PTO does not labor the engine at all.  The chipper performs BETTER than expected! It was the right choice.


Cobra Curber; David; Town of Killingly; Dayville, CT, 10/31/07

I researched different brands on the internet before buying the cobra curber.  I like the way it looked solid and the completely enclosed engine.  It is very impressive looking as far as the way it is built, the heavy duty frame and wheels.



Model 610 Chipper; Graham; Ontario, NY, 11/22/07

The machine meets my expectations.  Well built, solid unit.  Well engineered.


Model 627PTO Chipper; Greg; Round Lake Christian Assembly; Lakeville, OH, 11/26/07

What a well built heavy duty machine.  The 627 is just what we needed to keep our property cleaned up of brush.  Our 28HP tractor handles it great!


Leaf Vacuum; Dell; Dell J. Sadler III, Inc.; St. Michaels, MD, 11/14/07

Good Service. So far everything is great!


Gas Greens Roller; Brian; Devils Ridge Golf Club; Holly Springs, NC, 09/17/07

The machine performs as expected.  I think you have a great product line and excellent customer service; as I can attest to with a problem on a PTO Chipper (Out of Warranty) at my old course.


Model 826 Chipper; Raymond; Little Stixs Firewood; Stamford, NY, 09/19/07

I liked the idea of being self contained on the power feed.  This lets me move from my 65HP tractor to the 38HP tractor and not mix hyd. fluid.  The machine performs as expected.  It makes my JD1050 light on the front end even with the loader on it.  This 38HP turbo runs it fine.


Greens Roller; David; Quail Creek Country Club; Naples, FL, 09/25/07

We already have two and we're buying two more.  The machine is excellent.  We like the new electric start and new lights.


Model 627PTO; Russell; Thetford Center, VT, 09/13/07

This is an excellent piece of equipment.  An experienced engineer friend felt the same way and observed it is so simple and strong.


Skid Steer Side Dump Bucket; William; William Dexter, LLC; Georgetown, CT, 08/25/07

In the single application used, loading of crushed stone and concrete sand into a concrete bucket associated with a crane, the bucket exceeded my expectations.


20" Shavings Mill; Mike; Tamarack Hill Trucking; South New Berlin, NY, 8/20/07

I purchased a 14 yard (20") shavings mill in January of 2007 to fill a supply void in my sawdust business.  The Salsco mill has met all my expectations and more.  It is ruggedly built, well engineered, and performs as advertised.  It has been a pleasure to work with the folks at Salsco.  Sal has answered all of my inquiries and technical questions.  I would definitely recommend Salsco to anyone.


Model 624 Chipper; Robert; Waldoboro, ME, 8/20/07

Before the sale the salesman knew the product extremely well.  The machine performs exactly as expected.  We are pleased with its ability to do the job well.  Its hefty, high quality construction inspires confidence for a long life.


Track Paver; David; Mario Susi & Sons; Dorchester, MA,  8/01/07

The machine performs just as the last one did, B+.  I like the new screed set up.


Greens Roller; Tavis; Penobscot Valley Country Club; Orono, ME, 6/28/07

Before the sale, I received great service - all questions answered, given a demo and different financing options.  Given all around superior service.  The machine performs as expected.  Top roller on the market By Far.  Like the Spike-n-Air attachment also.  Would definitely purchase from Salsco again!


Gas Greens Roller; Robert; Tiffin, OH, 6/22/07

Yes the machine performs as expected.


Model 624 Chipper; Keith; ME, 5/21/07

This unit exceeds my expectations.  Union Farm Equipment and myself questioned if my tractor might be underpowered.  Power is not an issue, you have a great product.  My tractor is a BX2230.


Model 627XT Chipper; Philip; Haddam, CT, 6/06/07

Dick, the sales manager, was very helpful in explaining what I needed.  I have a Chinese made chipper that was inexpensive, but it simply did not perform.  The old adage of you get what you pay for is very true.  The Salsco chipper is a dream to work with, particularly after the Chinese made unit I had.  With its hydraulic feed and speed control it requires a fraction of the effort needed to work with my other unit.


Model 416B Chipper; Robert; Bob's Tree Service; Joshua Tree, CA, 5/22/07

I have a Salsco 3 1/2" chipper and I knew this next step up would be just as good.  This machine truly does "EAT" 4 1/2" wood.  It makes another Home-Type 4 1/2" chipper look really 3rd Rate.  Thanks


Model 608H Chipper; Monroe; OH, 5/17/07

Before the sale, the dealer (Moore's Lawn & Garden, Inc.) did a wonderful job explaining how it's built and how it will work.  The machine performs as expected.


Greens Roller; David; Black Sheep Golf Club;  Sugar Grove, IL, 5/7/07

Yes the machine performs as expected.  It's perfect.


Gas Greens Roller; Roger; IN, 5/01/07

The machine performs as expected and I now have 3 units.


Model 824PTO Chipper; Randy; Deweyville, UT, 4/14/07

Good Sales Representation.  The machine performed as expected.


Model 824PTO Chipper; L. E.; IL, 4/05/07

The machine performs better than expected.


Model 6210XT Chipper; James; Baltzly Farms; Beach City, OH 4/14/07

I liked the design and the heavy material used in the chipper.  Keep up the good work.


Model 627 Chipper; Barry; Flemingsburg, KY  4/14/07

Yes the machine works very well and does the job I wanted.


Model 624PTO Chipper; Sam, Watertown, CT  3/24/07

A couple comments about the purchase experience regarding my 624 PTO chipper.  The chipper has performed even better than I had hoped that it would.  It was easy to connect it to my Kubota BX2200.  The factory tour and your promise that I would be a satisfied customer assured me that I was dealing with a reputable firm.  During the tour I got to see the inside of the machine and how well they are designed and built.  The first time I used the machine I noticed how fast it devours wood and how smooth it ran sealed the deal.  I have no doubt that it will perform for many trouble free years.  It's nice to see equipment that is designed for long life and ease of routine maintenance verses the throw-away units so pervasive in today's society.  I had looked at all the other makes that I could find on the internet before making the visit to your factory.  After checking your unit I decided that it was what I was looking for.  Everyone that I got the chance to meet at your factory impressed me with the level of professionalism and knowledge of the product that they exhibited.  Keep up the good work.


Model 616BE Chipper; Bob; Bob's Tree Service; Joshua Tree, CA  3/24/07

Before the sale, I tried many other small (3 1/2") chippers.  None of them held-up to my amount of chipping.  I am thoroughly impressed.  For a gravity-feed chipper this one eats brush like nothing I've seen.  Thank you.


Bale Grabber, Bale Lifter and Bale Wrapper; Patrick; Harrisburg, PA  3/21/03

My dad and I are the proud owners of several pieces of your equipment.  We have a bale grabber, bale lifter and wrapper.  To say we love your equipment would be an understatement.  The quality and reliability are great.  We recommend them all the time.


Model 627XT Chipper; Robert; Atlanta, GA  3/11/07

We used it the afternoon we received it and found it to perform as expected!  Thus far, we have had no problems!


Model 413H Chipper; Ray; Keoughs Do-It-Best Rental; Ridgefield, CT 12/24/06

We use the machine as a rental unit.  Very easy to maintain.  It paid for itself in 5 months.


Model 627PTO Chipper; Joe; OH  12/19/06

The quality of your machine is excellent.


Model 826 Chipper; John; Derby Barn Blueberries; Hiram, ME  12/16/06

To date it has exceeded expectations and we are extremely pleased with its performance.


Model 813 Chipper; Alan; Oakfield, NY 11/29/06

(Does the machine exceed expectations?) Yes, very much so!


Model 627 PTO Chipper; William; Hillsbourgh, NC 11/25/06

Salsco sales department was wonderful to work with - - and is so informed!The chipper is awesome!


Track Paver; Jon; Hawaii  11/15/06

We love the machine and we can see an increase of productivity, efficiency and a better finished product than by doing it by hand.  We only wish that we found you guys sooner!


Model 813XT Chipper; Gary; John's Island Club; Sebastian, FL  11/14/06

Yes the machine exceeds expectations.


Model 824 PTO Chipper; Michael; Columbiana, OH  11/13/06

(Does the machine exceed expectations?) Yes, great.


Model 627 PTO; William; Hillsbourgh, NC 11/25/06

Salsco sales department was wonderful to work with - - and is so informed!  The chipper is awesome!


Track Paver; Jon; Hawaii  11/15/06

We love the machine and we can see an increase of productivity, efficiency and a better finished product than by doing it by hand.  We only wish that we found you guys sooner!


Model 624; David; Half Mule Express; Milford, NH  11/10/06

I just wanted to drop you a line telling you how much I like my 624 chipper.  I flipped the knives tonight for the first time.  I bought it at Chappell Tractor in Milford, NH.  I run it with my old '41 9N, Dave and Flip at Chappell's get a kick out of that.  
I do a lot of stone wall clearing and generate lots of 1-3" material.  I have run a bunch of 4 plus inch wood through it with great results.  The 624 has performed perfectly with zero problems! I bought the Salsco because of it's workmanship and simplicity.
You built a great product, thank you.


Model 627 PTO; Kevin; Ohio, NY 10/23/06

The 627PTO chipper far exceeds my expectations!  Setup was simple, performance flawless, a top quality piece of equipment!


Model 625NS; Jim; Nature's Best Inc. Davidsonville, MD 10/09/06

We have owned our 625 NS now for a couple of years and we could not be more pleased with it's performance.  The versatility allows us to use it substantially more often than our previous leaf vac/truck loader that was only used during our leaf removal season.  This equates to a much larger return on our investment and it eliminated the need to purchase multiple pieces of equipment to do the same amount of quality of work as we can achieve with a single 625 NS.

The entire ownership experience has been superb.  You have great people making and selling great products and it shows.  Thanks for everything.


Model 600; Alan; Chesterville, ME 9/30/06

The Model 600 is a very rugged chipper, and I have many hours on it in my woodlot. . . trouble free.  Nice product, I recommend it to all the folks on TRACTOR BY NET.  


Model 824; Tony and Marianne; Whitefield, ME 9/17/06

The machine has been great.  We heat with wood and I chip the tops for mulch on our thirty acres of low bush blueberries.  


Model 608; Michael; Ripon, CA 09/08/006

I had ordered a Model 608 wood chipper from sales associate Johanna.  Not only was I given all information I asked for, but it was done in a manner in which I felt I was doing business with the right company.  When the product arrived and I rolled it off the pallet, I could tell that your engineers have their act together, proper thickness of steels, heavy welds where necessary and a design reminiscent of machinery of old when it was done right, but with new metallurgy.  So many items are ordered over the internet with less than spectacular results.  Your workers and your investors, be it public or family have the pride in your product and company that made America the power house it is today.  Workmanship from your welders, fabricators, engineers, painters should be commended along with your staff.  


Model 608; Robert; North Cape May, NJ 07/05/06

I have recently used the chipper that I bought in January to chip branches from pruning a 90 ft Oak on my parent's property and I was thoroughly satisfied with performance of the chipper.  I've been using the chipper for small jobs such as chipping maintenance prunings on our ornamental trees, but this was the first chance that I had to prune one of our large Oaks.  The only suggestion would be to encourage the use of the 16 Hp V-Twin engine which I purchased because of performance on the larger limbs seems to warrant extra power.  From an engineer's and a mechanic's viewpoint, I am very impressed with the Salsco Chipper's performance. 


Chipper; John; Savoy, MA 05/14/06

Just a quick note on the chipper.  Ran it approx. three hours chipping a bunch of brush and whole trees.  The chipper worked fantastic! I have no regrets with the purchase and would recommend it to others looking for a similar product.  Well built and easy to operate, great machine.  


Model 624; Dann; Fitchburg, MA 03/28/06

I just wanted to drop you a note and tell you how much I like my Salsco Model 624 gravity feed chipper.  I bought this from Padula Bros in Lunenberg, MA last fall, and have been using it since.  I have a 30 acre parcel in Fitchburg, MA, and use the chipper for re-claiming land that has been long overgrown farm land, as well as harvesting hard wood to heat my home in the winter.
In the past I used to pile brush in centralized piles for burning.  I'd burn brush every spring and this would take a few days just to burn the brush piles.  I'd also have to coordinate this with our city in order to get permission to burn on that specific day.  But now with my Salsco chipper, I can get rid of the brush any time I want to.  I'm also using the wood chips to fill in ruts in my access roads.
So I wanted to write and tell you how pleased I am with your chipper.  I'm impressed how solid and well built it is.  Thanks again for this quality product.  


PTO Chipper; Emailed anonymously 3/22/06

I recently purchased your 3pt hitch chipper for my 21hp Kubota tractor from Fosket equipment.  I have been using it for the 3 weeks and must compliment you on this great piece of equipment.  It is doing just what I hoped it would.  I looked at several other units in this price range and there is no comparison.  Your unit is rugged and does just great with what I use it for.  


Model 627; Paul; Wallingford, CT 06/29/04

I have been meaning to write this letter to you, but due to my amazement with the product I purchased, I kept waiting to see if my amazement would fall off.  Let me explain.

I spend a lot of time when purchasing a piece of equipment, performing extensive due diligence by viewing all brands available given the product I wish to buy.  When I decided to purchase a PTO chipper, I reviewed Bearcat, Woods, Valby, and Wallenstein, to name a few.  I tried to see each unit.

When I came to Salsco, Johanna was my sales rep.  She was knowledgeable, and friendly and did not pressure me at all.  Your factory is clean and all your workers friendly.  I certainly appreciated you meeting me and showing me the confidence in your product to say that if I purchased the unit and it did not work as desired, that I could return it.  When I inspected a Salsco 627, I was impressed.  The entire visit to your company was such that I purchased the 627 on the spot.

Being a first time chipper owner and a relatively new tractor owner, I had some questions.  I could have never imagined that the owner of the company would give me his cell phone number to call if I have any problems.  Wow, what a safety net!

Rarely does one purchase a product that EXCEEDS the expectations created by a salesperson.  The 627 does just that.  Before writing this letter, I thought it was too good to be true so I kept using it and it continues to work incredibly.  I highly recommend the 627 to anyone seeking to purchase a manual feed 6 inch chipper.


Model 818; Conel; Bridgeport, CT 10/23/03

The Salsco Model 818 is a very rugged machine.

This machine is able to chip brush and large wood better than any other chipper I've ever used.  With the large 18" diameter wood, the Salsco 818 chips just like it's chipping small diameter brush.  The RPM stays high and it doesn't seem like it's under any stress at all.

This gives us confidence in the unit's ability to chip even the large 18" wood.  We purchased this unit to chip 18" wood, as our other large chippers showed stress when chipping large wood.  The Salsco 818 performs consistently well and holds the same composure chipping large wood as when its chipping small brush.  There's hardly any bouncing or vibration.

The feed sensing with auto reverse stops and starts the machine very well, keeps the engine rpm high, is well timed, and never has failed.

I like the wide opening design on the exhaust chute.  It doesn't clog at all, even when chipping vines.

When I first got the machine, we took down a huge tree that was covered in vines.  We wouldn't usually think about putting a tree as covered in vines as that one into a chipper, even the other 18" chippers I've used couldn't handle this tree.  It would normally take about 1 1/2hrs to do a tree this size, this covered in vines, but it only took us 40 minutes with the Salsco chipper.  Also, the 818 did not clog or wrap on either the infeed rolls or the shaft.

With large logs other machines jump and seem to be relieved when they're done with the log.  Like it needs to take a breath.  With a Salsco chipper, it's constant the whole time.  Like if it was chipping brush.

Even very hard wood, oak, maple, it chips with no problem.  Seems to be under no stress.  No jumping, no moving, it keeps its composure throughout.

The machine is very heavily built, and some might think because of the weight that it would sink into the ground.  However, because of the wide wheels and the double axle, there is actually the opposite effect, even compared to much lighter machines.
