    For what you want to do it will be fine. Keep the blades sharp and it will serve you well, cammon are easy to deal with should you need spares.

    make sure it has a 'guard'  and plunger with it -

    I wouldnt bother with any chipper that has a capacity of less than 4 inches, otherwise the time you spend 'cleaning' all the branches before you put them in will offset the cost of dumping them, 2 inches might sound ok but you have to take into account all the little side branches, they'll stop it going in. You really need to spend aat least 4k to get anything suitable for commercial purposes, i would recommend the greenmech CS100, it costs about £4400 and will take most branches without trimming.

    You're right Chris but a bit of a difference between 300quid and 4.4K!
