10 year old Troy chipper

19 years ago

Looking at a 10 year old (est)chipper model# 47024 10hp,electric and pull start, tow bar equipped. It is in good condition runs ands starts good. He is asking $500. I know about the lack of suport from MTD, but this thing sure looks a lot sturdier than the newer ones. Anyone have any experience or knowledge of these older machines and their value?

I don't know about the chippers but I can comment on your "Anyone have any experience or knowledge of these older machines and their value?" statement.

I have a Troybilt snowblower of the same vintage. I went to the Troybilt site and was able to download a manual. I do not know about parts, I have never needed anything more that a spark plug. The blower and I think the chippers and tillers were made in WI by Gardenway. These are tough machines that were well built.

I would not sell my blower for less that $500.

I would search for the availability/cost of "consumables", like chipper/shredder blades etc. before pulling the trigger.

I bought it $450 delivered, have not had time to play with it yet. Found most common parts on ebay.
