I too have a DR chipper (18hp B&S twin) of the non road towable variety. It weighs in @348lbs and is not really difficult to move about by hand. My needs seem to be met by this stand alone...I have ~40 acres of former grazing land that has juniper and other softwood trees that had been tipped over 40+ years ago to improve cattle feeding conditions (takes 100 acres to support one beef cow around here).

My chipper will handle up to 4.5" material and with dry wood it takes about 1-3 minutes to get through a 10 foot pole (depending on the woods condition).

I ran it for the first 5hrs with no problems, just about to change the oil and attack the piles again. I tank of gas (44oz.)runs for 1 hour. I like the ability to free up other equipment / down time maint. won't slow the clean-up work.
Regards

Sorry for the typo's, working on laptop for the first time and attempting to beat the dinner bell.
Wasn't able to post my message with the subject group I had intended...not sure if our PC is going to get a message online, many pardons for the clumbsy start to a great looking site.
