I am close to pulling the trigger on either a chipper, or chipper/shredder. My near term use is to chip brush from land clearing, all of it under 3" and some of it fine twigs under 1".
I know for sure I need a chipping capability, but am not sure about a shredding capability. Generally, it costs about $500-700 more to get both in one unit. I figure if I am going to drop $1800-2000 minimum for a chipper, should I consider getting a combo chipper/shredder for a little bit more? What are some common uses of the shredder I'd be able to take advantage of down the road?
