    They promised a few dry hours yesterday so I chipped up some of the branches from this winters work. Jane wanted some mulch for our turnaround so I ran the branches thru the chipper then back tru the mulcher. First time running the chips thru in the past I have only run small branches 1-1 1/2” thru the mulcher. Came out good what do you think?

    I gather that first picture was through the chipper and the second through the mulcher into the wagon? That really broke the chips down! I guess you could do it several times if you wanted super fine mulch. Looks like good stuff. Really like your chipper but unfortunately don't have a tractor.
