Our situation: We have a lot of wood of all sizes from trees that fall or ones we take down. A lot. We have been harvesting the wood if over 3-4" and sometimes even keep the some of smaller stuff - all for firewood. But in the process we generate piles of the brushy/small limbed/twiggy stuff. We have been pulling burn permits and burning it but we think we would like to get a chipper for that stuff. I don't think that we would not be using it much for the thicker stuff - but maybe we would as we have way too much wood. I don't know if there would be units more suitable for the smaller stuff, or whether a robust 4" plus unit would be better at the small stuff as well. I know you are not supposed to try to shed vines and such, but it would be great if we could shred the brushy stuff. I am looking at the gas powered units and also at PTO models. Any recommendations as to types or brands? We would want one we could pull to different areas on the property (90) acres.
Note: we have an ATV to pull a unit around as well as a tractor.
