Three or four years ago we borrowed the wood chipper of a coworker of my wife. It was awesome, it was one of those teeny gas powered ones but I managed to get a lot of brush cleared and didn't have to try and cram the sticks into a yard waste bin. Since then I've wanted one of my own, but I've been paralyzed with reviewer dread. All the reviews of wood chippers I was interested in (around $700) said they sucked. Then I found the bear cat ones, that reviewed very well and were quite a bit more expensive. Well I got one and finally got to use it this weekend; It rocked! It was very powerful, chipped logs larger than I felt comfortable feeding into it and also seemed relatively quiet, although that might be the peltor ear guards I got. Anyway, now I'm looking all around for other things to chip. I'm trying to clear a path down to the terrace so I can get the chipper down there and really start chipping up a storm.
