    Got the chipper for the weekend so time to get after it! About two hours in before lunch got the worst of it done. Pulled all the tops out through the swamp hole and buzzed down the rest of the brush and saplings with my little 2511 echo.
    I’ve got to say I’m very impressed with this little chipper!! This ones brand new and has only got one other rental on it, let me just say it eats! I’ve used all kinds and size of chippers and even though it’s a 6x8 feed opening it acts like a 15”!!
    The rest for after lunch! D8C8809C-CE02-4C04-AB95-A74ADCE3FC4A.jpeg

    Got done just in time for a nice strip steak dinner! Here’s the finish, until I get on it with the excavator. A bit more firewood to move next to the last pile too!! F9B0FBE5-07FB-44A8-88FF-07CDF413B709.jpeg

    Oh oh, not good. Visit urgent care, they may give you an Rx for it?

    I got it back in early April. Itched for a few days, :hair: used clear Caladryl. Gradually went away. The PI was on a dead ash as well J. Dirt

    The ash around here seem to befriend it or they just happen to like the same soil conditions?

    Yup. Time for a little wagon repairing. Wonder how much that stump weights.

    Didn’t get a picture of it, but I dug up a popular stump this afternoon that I couldn’t lift with the machine! I’m betting it was close to a ton
