So I am new to the business side of tree service. And so far I have not gone into debt. I am basically a one man operation with a couple of part time employees to serve as ground crew.
I was given the chipper in question so don't go on about how it is a bad or low end piece of equipment. It was free. I was also given a 35 ton splitter. Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
I am doing mostly pruning jobs with occasional tree removal. I bought a trailer to haul away the cuttings and wood. I am considering mounting the chipper into the trailer towards the front and just have it shoot the chips into the bed of trailer. Still working on how I would mount it. This way my groundies or myself can chip up the limbs and such on sight taking up less room in the trailer, leaving room for any wood over 5" in diameter.
The other option was to bring all the clipping back home and chipping them all here in the back of the lot. But then I might be filling the whole trailer up pretty quick with clippings and such.
I included some pics.
I appreciate any positive advise your willing to provide, Just save the flaming of the piece of equipment. LOL
