You want that in foil or saber?

Gilligan would have been more help earlier, he can fell the mightiest

Well, I'll settle for a mighty leaf and twig eater now!
Home Despot usually has a ton of those for sale this time of year. This
year
they have gone straight to Snow Blowers. A container ship must have sunk
or
something because the 10 hp chipper shredders are not available
nationally and
the little useless 5.5 hp models are even in short supply. I finally
found a 10
hp model at the 7th HD I checked. They had ONE. It's now in my barn.

Thanks Charlie,
I actually have the Craftsmen 7.5 chipper-shredder and it's done an
excellent job so far. I've put some heavy duty hours on it. I've tried to
beat it up but it just beats me up even more. It'll take up to 3" dia and
about a 10 gallon bucket's worth of leaves and twigs per load. (or, a
bushel and a peck!).

Rent a good sized Vermeer. They can chip down railroad ties.

Years ago a neighbor who worked for a tree service let me use his industrial
chipper. That thing could handle small trees. It liked to reach out and
greet the user, pulling the wood from one's hands. I quickly learned to
throw the trunks and branches like a spear. Awesome.

My son in law has one of those...gets rid of a mountain of stuff in 15
minutes...never wear gloves when using one...a branch snagged on a gloce
can drag you in..of course, that would make nutrient rich mulch...
