after too many bad investments, I finally bot a used Bandit 6 inch chipper with hydralic feed from rental yard, 25hp Kohler, feed opening is 6x12 so crotches feed more often, I keep strong loppers nearby for bigger ones, Vermeer is 6x6 so lot more trimming needed
after bringing the knives/anvil and feed wheel back to spec it chips everything I ask it to including dry elm, very knarly thornapple and fenceposts with barbed wire attached (oops)
unit has rpm sensor to stop feed as engine loads down then restarts it when engine comes back, you can do same thing manually with feed bar, thats how a 25hp engine works on this machine
old time drum style needs enuf power to chip the whole piece, no way to stop the feed
I had 6 inch Woods hand feed before this, great for 2x4's or straight pine but useless on the kind of wood I have to chip
PTO units eliminate engine headaches including mouse infestations and gas gumming up the carb, some units use tractor hydralics to run power feed, other have own pump/tank but cost dearly
some people stack the brush then rent machine for a day, if machine is taken care of and is available when you need it then this is best way to go, too many rental yards neglect the knives

You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want � unless you own a monster tractor. U
