Chipper GME (Danuser) 24P Chipper

[davrow]

Danuser sold a chipper a long time ago. Research says it was actually made by GME (Ground Maintenance Equipment). Danuser no longer carries it and GME appears to no longer exist.

The 24P chipper was a nice unit with a 160 lb flywheel, PTO driven (no hydraulics). The P in the model name does mean power feed.

Is it a good buy at the right price, or should I avoid it since I may not be able to get parts, especially knives?

I emailed, no price yet. Any opinions? Thanks.

I have been using one of those for about 12 years now - mine is actually S&R Pro Chipper, which was the original manufacturer of the same chipper as Danuser. I was able to buy a set of knives from GME years ago when they were still in business.

It would be nice to find out who can sell knives for these now?

A machine shop should be able to duplicate a blade for you. Just bring them a sample. Baileys used to sell rebadged GME chippers so they may have a blade that will work.

I was able to buy a set of knives for my S&R Pro Chip PTO wood chipper yesterday from Coldwater Tractors in Hoquiam, WA

I believe this is the same 24 inch chipper design which was later made by Danuser for few years.
