Guess I am looking for one used. They've appealed to me for years but I
really couldn't justify. Now I need to trim along my woods roads - I'm
guessing about 800' - so the hunt is on.

I remember that commercial but I haven't seen it lately, what do/did they
sell for new?

Various models - an 18hp goes for about $2600. I see one used for $1200 or
bo. I'll probably call this weekend.

I bought their 13hp chipper for my tree service operation.
anything over 4.5 inches is actually firewood and is
incorporated as raw material into my firewood operation.
their chipper actually works very well. the only issue I
have with the down chute model is you have to make sure to
clear the chip pile every so often or you'll get one heck
of a backup. my issue is no fault of the operation and
function of the machine, it has more to do with the operator
not paying attention to the chip pile reaching the chute
and stopping the out flow..

Heck yeah if you need one, that seems fair running well.

No no no, you want a Craftsman DYS 4500 lawn tractor to clear that out, oh
wait you might hit a dandelion and bend a blade, nevermind.

How often do you think you would have to trim brush along your woods roads?
How about a rental?

Funny you should ask. I was at a Simplicity dealer an hour ago. Their
similar machine is $85 per day - and I would need it for a whole day. I
said just along the woods road but there are a few other spots I would use
it also.

I saw those commercials and they were just cutting high grass and weeds.
I figured it was only needed once. After that, a good mower could take
care of it on a regular basis.

High grass and weeds I have no problem with my old (70's) Cub Cadet - but
there is a lot of brush 1/2 to 3/4 dia along both sides that I would like to
cut back. Of course, ideally, it should all come out with the roots but

Kinda like when ya buy a power washer to clean the house. Then you notice
what it does for concrete. Then you notice they make a car soap for the
machine, so you do all of your vehicles. Then you run outta things to
blast, and depression sets in. Ya, it's prolly best to rent that brush
cutter so you don't get severly depressed. =)
