I didn't think so. Also why do the large Co. need a 37-40 inch chipper? there is no need to chip anything over 4-6 inches as there is a lot more money in round wood to the landowner then chips. they are chipping a lot of log wood in those stupid things and I have seen it first hand myself !!
So "junk wood" isn't good for the woodchip fired power plants?
I guess you use an axe an an ox to harvest trees correct? Then hand split the little limbs for fire wood too.
Come on man, watching a whole tree get chipped up in a minute is AWESOME!!!! (and is money in the trailer)

OH, Do you cut your grass?
