I just grabbed a fixer-upper.
A 7 HP mighty max chipper used for $50. Currently it only stays running for a 15-30 seconds before loosing power...boohoo.. hope it just needs the carb cleaned.
Wish me luck!!

http://www.kk.org/cooltools/archives/2008_07-full.php MacKissic Mighty Mac Chipper Shredder
I bought a Mighty Mac shredder/chipper about 25 years ago, have used it -- heavily at times -- all these years and, with a few engine repairs and turning the shredder blades around once (they are 2-sided), it's worked flawlessly on our 1/2-acre homestead. This is a "hammermill" chipper with free-swinging hammer blades for the top-feed hopper, as well as a chipper, a side feed where you put in larger branches (it will grind up a 2x4) at a 90-degree angle to the balanced flywheel blade that runs on the same axle as the shredder blades. If you get one of the bigger professional type units you don't need a separate grinder, but for home-style operation, I wouldn't fool with any of the lower-cost feed-it-in-the-top units. You don't really need to shred stuff like oak leaves (they compost nicely as is), and the smaller shredders tend to choke on stuff such as 1-incg diameter branches. This unit has changeable screens so you can adjust from fine to coarse output.

Why? If it's something he can do himself it saves him a lot of money.

it works great now! In addition to the carb cleaning it needed some gaskets and a new belt. Now it could eat 2x4's

When I was younger I told my friend the wood chipper was a wormhole to another dimension... I guess I was right... never saw him after that
