"Gravity feed" means you pushing the material through. If you can burn it, a match and a can of lighter fluid will be a much cheaper alternative.
I've been checking out some of the small Wallenstein and Salsco chippers.
Whaddaya think of this lil' guy? Remember, 90% of what I've cut so far, was with a 2" lopper.

Here's to hoping the stumps were sprayedopcorn: If not they may grow back with a vengeance next year. And yeah, burning sounds like the easiest, cheapest and most efficient way to handle the brush.
It's the quantity that will kill you, not thesize. With your bearcat you will have to feed them in one or two at a time, and push them down until theyare done. With a 6" infeed it will take an armfull and have it gone by the time you come back with another armfull. I know you don't like the advice you're being given, butnit's based on years of experience.
I don't think there is any such thing as a semi-pro chipper Buying a unit that will not be used again doesn't exactly sound like a fair option to the owner either
I want one of those!
For your information BC WetCoast, I've got a guy with a 6" chipper coming to price the job tomorrow. This is only one of the solutions I've been looking at.
There's no point in discussing a smaller chipper here.
Skid steers??? 6+ inch chippers with hydraulic infeeds to get rid of trees that were cut with a 2" hand-lopper??? Really???
Thanks anyway.
I love how the PM review and bearcat's response makes it sound like having to pull back on the limb to keep it from stalling is a selling point.
