I need to purchase a chip;per and shredder to take care of some privet I have on my property. I have been looking online at the Walenstein BX42 and the DR PTO wood chipper. The DR is on sale for $2500 with free shipping through the end of May and seems like a pretty good unit. The Walenstein looks pretty good too but I'm unsure of the cost. It appears to be a couple thousand more than the DR. My tractor is a 35 HP New Holland Workmaster 35, with a rear PTO speed of 540, which should work with these. I realize that privet will grow back, but my plans are to cut and mulch then spray as the new growth appears. I have nearly 60 acres and it's over-run with the stuff. Privet is fairly soft wood but fairly "branchy". I don't have anything over 3-4 inches in diameter, and most is probably 1 or 2 inches.
Thoughts on the DR or Walenstein?
