ArboristSite Lurker
I'm generally more of a landscape, nursery and lawn care guy than I am a 'tree' guy, but I come onto this site every once in awhile and screen thru older threads for different perspectives and ideas...
Good site!
Yesterday I had a homeowner stop me, and ask what brand of wood chipper I'd recommend for them to buy for their 2 acre yard.
They DO have quite a number of trees that they like to chop around on...including a copse of aging fruit trees of some kind, and a couple HUGE hackberrys.
They like to cut up the thinner branches with their chain saw...down to as small as maybe 1 1/2" (or so) diameter, to use as kindling wood.
So really...all this chipper would ever need to handle, would be approx 2 1/2" diameter wood MAX.
TSC has a 11.5 hp unit for about $600 right now.
This customer said they'd like to spend $400 or so on this.
Is there something else durable enough out there that can fit their bill???
