Selling a Crary Bear Cat Model 500 chipper/shredder with a 14 HP Kohler Command engine. This is an older, extremely heavy-duty machine that has been well cared for and stored indoors. It is approximately 30 years old and is in very good overall condition for its age.
This is a substantial tow-behind unit — not one of the lightweight residential chippers being sold today. It has a large top shredder hopper plus a separate side chipper chute, making it great for branches, tree trimmings and general property cleanup.
Mechanical condition:
The machine was previously running well, but recently developed a fuel-related starting issue. A brand-new fuel pump has just been installed. The engine turns over but is not currently starting properly. It may need carburetor/tune-up work or additional troubleshooting. We have decided not to put additional time into diagnosing it, so it is being sold as-is.
Details:
* Crary Bear Cat Model 500
* 14 HP Kohler Command engine
* Kohler model CH14ST / Spec 1803
* Heavy-duty steel construction
* Large shredder hopper
* Separate side chipper chute
* Tow-behind design with ball hitch
* New fuel pump
* Original Bear Cat identification plate and decals

This would be a great machine for someone who is comfortable working on small engines and wants a well-built, heavy-duty chipper/shredder without paying the price of a comparable new machine.
$1,250 OBO
