Peter,
You'll have plenty of time to bring logs to the mill, but that chipper won't be around forever, what are you waiting for! Go hook up the trailer and get on the road! (on second thought, maybe you should have someone else hook the trailer up for you:laughing
I wonder what the 9" chipper went for new, I figure if the 6" was 10k then that must be at LEAST 2-3k more right? I've been comparing the specs to other chippers on the market and it really does seem that these things are seriously overbuilt and rock solid. They appear very impressive on paper and although I haven't gotten the chance to use mine yet, my dad has been putting some brush through it and is really impressed, he is used to heavy equipment and often complains that the tractor feels too light for serious work, but not so with the chipper, he says it's extremely well "built".
Just think, you could be chipping wood by the middle of the week. How much nicer would it be to load the logs on the trailer, when all you have to do is cut the tree down, cut off the top, load them into the chipper and there ya go, all cleaned up, no need for brush piles.
