My new B7800 was just delivered Saturday and I am really impressed my land has a lot of bitter brush and pine trees and with the tooth bar on the loader it really removes the brush fast now I need to get a chipper as they are cutting our burning off early. Has anyone used the Salsco 824 hydraulic feed chipper with a pto hp of 22 hp if so how do they do the job with the brushey things like bitter brush or sage brush I am sure it would work well with the tree limbs as anything over 4 inches will be used for fire wood

At the local city landfill we have a huge pile of scrap wood and tree limbs that is periodically rendered into wood chips and distributed free of charge to the community for landscaping.
The important point is that each load of vegetation or wood is screened for sagebrush. If a thousand pounds of tree limbs contains a single piece of sagebrush, the whole load goes to the landfill not the wood pile.
I was told that sagebrush clogs the biggest chippers available and tends to catch fire once the clogging occurs.
Forewarned, forearmed, be cautious. ....
