how does it pull when it's empty? I wonder if you have enough weight up on the hitch or possibly not enough?

Yep, Saw it in Dave's shop, even got to test it out. Very smooth, wheel seems to spin a lot faster than what I'm used to.

Mr. Ed, Are you the guy that builds the stump grinder?

Hey cordwood, Dave Nordgaard(the guy who builds the BMG), built a chipper with a 3 speed transmission, including reverse. You guessed it, the tranny wasn't intensional but was needed in order to make it work. It's always a good laugh when he tells the story. He said reverse came in handy when a piece of wood got stuck in the drum. Shot it out of the in-feed like a cannon.

Anyone using this brand of chipper, I think a chipper of this size has it's place. Thanks
