I have used drum and disc chippers and it seems that it is more efficient with only one person feeding the chipper as well as a lot safer. What are every one’s thoughts on this?
Man! Those drum chippers slap you good with the little stuff and chunk the ends of the big stuff back at you!This is assuming both operators know how to chip without getting smacked by limbs... Brian

I find the feeding of the chipper goes fastest when I feed it....
Works well for me, too.alanarbor said:I like one man stuffing it in the chipper with the other dragging, if there's a lull, the operator goes for a load, too. I find on a removal that works out about the best. On pruning, build a pile and arun it through when appropriate.
