Of course, all I'm using is a JD riding mower, and my grandfather's homemade steel wood trailer. The only heavy equipment I get to operate is attached to my body!
No chipper buddy........I keep it simple. I compact and haul the branches away and use a cable to choke them, get to the compost site and use an anchor point to drag the branches off the trailer in one big lump. I call it my redneck dump trailer, I'll have to take some pics or do a video sometime. Works like a charm.
