Buying Advice Looking for a Chipper

   / Looking for a Chipper #11  
Another thing about chippers with very branchy and stringy type material. They tend to clog up with that stuff. Even with a hydraulic feed. You need one with a large capacity and keep the knives really sharp. You can set the gap between the knives and anvil very close to get a smaller chip. Or with hydraulic feed you slow down the feed rate...
After that get a whole herd of goats and the "mulch" comes out of the goats "exhaust" port..

"Gittyup" -that's a great idea re: free, but i dont suppose you know what kind of trouble gets dumped in there, like bug, disease etc, in my case i would rather know what i am getting, there's potential there for disaster.

I expect this type of machine is going to cost ?5k or so, the material i have available is all sizes, anything not worth splitting for the wood stove is fair game (or pine etc)

anybody got an opinion pto vs. self powered?

thanks again!

Yes, there is some potential for bugs and disease in landfill mulch. But, I've been getting it for 20 years and our flower beds are some of the healthiest around. Very few living critters can survive the temperatures inside a decaying compost of mulch. The worst I've seen is a few mold spots. You can get termites, but if termites are active in your area, you are going to get them in any untreated mulch anyway. I guard against this by not using too close to the house, and I spray once or twice a year too. The real problem with landfill mulch can be trash: plastic bags, bottle caps, etc. For me, if I get it early in the season, it is usually trash free. For some reason the late season mulch has a lot more trash. I always inspect the pile before I get it. I got 10 yards back in April. I just spread it over this past weekend. Some of the best I've ever gotten: nicely shredded, well decomposed, and trash free.
