I am thinking on getting a PTO-driven wood chipper. Not having used one before, I am wondering how much maintenance it requires. I assume that sharpening and replacing the blades is the most routine maintenance task.
I need to maintain about 20 acres of mostly hickory and oak trees that has not been maintained in the last 20 years. Need to cut some trees and there are plenty of branches already around. So it would be a mixture of fresh cuts, dry branches and partly rotted ones. Anything that can be used as firewood would not be chipped.
I am inclined towards a Wallenstein BX42, but would like to hear input from all brands users. So, for the type of trees I would be chipping, how often would you have to replace/sharpen the blades on whichever brand of wood chipper you are currently using?
Thanks
