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.


Industrial chipper? Phhht. One of my customers has a
chipper/shredder that can take a dozen pallets at a time,
runs off a Cat 3408 diesel. Now THAT's a chipper!
