Anyone out there used any of the 13hp chippers?

 

Some tosser wrote to the Environment Agency informing them of the two farms that I used to drop green waste at just outside of Ipswich were accepting / burning green waste. None of the locals ever complained (they were allowed to drop their stuff as well, to keep them sweet), just done for no apparent reason, but having received letters threatening £10,000 fines if they don't stop, I now have a problem...

 

I digress. Am wondering about a small chipper for a couple of grand, just to deal with the twiggy rubbish - anything over 3" I have for the firewood pile, so can't really justify 1,000's on a 6"/7" diesel jobby. The question is - will it be a waste of money, or do they actually work.

 

Any views welcome!

I have found the video on the rock machinery site, but could you post a link to "wee chipper thread" please - I did a search for wee chipper on arbtalk, and nothing showed up.

 

What sort of size do the chippings end up? - can they be used as mulch / or surface for a menage for horses?

Of course they work but you have to be patience with them .

I have a cs100 and at 18hp it's impressive for what it is especially if timber is presented to it dressed out right. However compared to my a tr6 it's painfully slow, I'm not sure id want to go any smaller.
