Just a cautionary note on carrying gear in chippers, I've had stuff fall out when bouncing over level crossings, uneven pot-holed roads and the like. The catch that holds the chipper infeed up can shake loose, and discard tools etc down the road. For security now, I secure with a ratchet strap, or rope it up as well.
