Which size chipper do I need to hire?

[cessna]

Please can some one suggest , which size of chipper I need to hire for chipping Leylanddii up to 9" diameter. Asking for advice as I know nothing about wood chippers. Thanks in advance for any info.

Probably best not hiring one then! Get someone in to chip for you

Best to start from the other end and think about whats going to happen to the mountain of chips

What does your local hire place have to offer? Nowt wrong with a 6 inch sometimes and just keep the logs. Otherwise I'd wand something large on a tractor or something and just have done!

9-12" you'll struggle to hire a chipper that size from the usual places though

Thank you for your reply,our local plant hire company has a 6" chipper for hire certainly not up to the job.

Fair enough. I usually hate hire machines as their not up to standard usually (blunt blades etc ). Try find someone with a pto chipper locally and that should suit your needs. That's if you can get it near the job

If your gonna chip leylandi in 9" diameter your gonna need a 12" chipper at least I never chip anything over 3" anything over goes for firewood
