Paul Allen II

I have a woodmax 8" chipper.  It makes fantastic chips, and I need lots of them, so it was worth the price to me.

Is that the WM8M with mechanical infeed for under $2,400 (in today's inflated dollars)?

Pardon me while I call my Wallenstein dealer. It appears I'm owed a kiss.

Something to consider with those smaller chippers is not only the max diameter but how straight the branch needs to be. My Wallenstein BX36 can handle up to 3.5" but very little of even the small stuff will feed without significant hand-sawing beforehand. IMO a chipper without powered nip-roll feed isn't worth owning unless your only other option is paying someone to haul away your branches, and even then you're probably better off renting the chipper.

I bought my chipper only because the better choice in a bad family situation required moving to a neglected childhood home on 5 acres governed by an HOA where one of the resident 'code enforcers' deceived us about the rules pertaining to the open-burning of brush. For context, the neighbor who just moved in next door said he's already had his wrist slapped by the HOA president for the crime of planting fruit trees without prior approval... on land which 60 years ago was a farm with an apple orchard.

Had I known about this website beforehand, I wouldn't have bought the chipper, and would likely be getting my wrist slapped by the HOA too. LOL
