I found a used Patu DC 40 manual feed chipper for sale. The owner fired it up on his Ford 7N. The tractor was just above idle and it chipped a dry 3" piece pretty well. The thing that was odd was that the hopper was low and parallel to the ground. I thought most manual feed chippers' hoppers' were set more on a steeper angle to help feed the brush in. This one didn't feed in real well, maybe sharpening the knives or more rpm's or both would make a difference. I would like to hear from anyone outh there that has one and how it has worked out. Thanks for the help
