So much good info. I will build a table. Here's a couple features I need. Automatic, not gravity fed. Horizontal in feed. My stuff is 1 to 7 inch cedars. Ive rented vermeer chippers for a total of 8 weeks over the last few years. I've been looking for used but I'm looking at 10 to 15 thousand vs. 3 to 7000
I had the same experience here in CA. All the used trailer chippers were either expensive and beat up, or really expensive and not so beat up. I think they command a premim as wihoyou
My tractor's 32hp at the PTO and it is slow when chipping stuff over about 4". Much above that and it depends on the species of wood. Some chip easier than others.
