WARNING! Avoid the 2023 and later model Brush Chippers at all costs! Vermeer chose to adopt a new all-electronic control panel that fails after about 17 hours. The engine starts (it is a Deutz, after all) but the control panel, after flashing the Vermeer logo, goes black. Dead in the water. Zero indication about what the problem is on the LCD screen. In fact, after the logo flashed, nothing...the machine worked all day the previous day just fine. With all of the sensors and firmware, one would think that it would at least give you SOME INDICATION of what the problem is. Nope. Stick with another brand or an older model with mechanical switches and analog gauges. At least those won't fail you on the job, and if they do, you can still work. Bummer on a job site.
