PTO wood chipper for rent?

[JoeBabbs]

I've got a few hemlock trees to remove and would like to chip the branches. There is more to chip than a big box rental can handle, and I can't justify purchasing a 3PH PTO driven chipper for my limited use.

Is anyone in the Finger Lakes is willing to rent one?

Just another option to consider - pay for a dumpster. A 20 yard dumpster should cost around $350, and it will hold more branches than you would want to chip (unless you have some purpose for the chips). You can load the branches faster than you can chip, and if you have a grapple it will be much faster. A 20 yard dumpster typically has 4 foot sides - easy to dump over with the FEL or by hand.

You can rent a 6" hydraulically fed chipper for a lot less than $350, and then you have some nice wood chips to use.

Maybe contact an 'arbourist' ? If you have room for HIS chips, he may chip yours ! I've done that several times over the years. Drag branches to a 'staging' area, then help feed the machine.
