Hey, Don. I did a stint as a small engine mechanic at a rental shop in Baltimore when I first got out of college. The all important thing about chippers is to go with one that's got a good, simple, reliable engine (you can't go wrong with Briggs and Stratton), a solid, stable build and as many safety features as you can find because its a remarkably dangerous machine. Its pretty simple equipment as long as you make sure the model you buy is rated to be able to handle the size of branches you want to run through it. Just because you can fit a 6" diameter tree trunk through the hole doesn't necessarily mean that the engine has the power to break it up.
...Its not a whole lot of information, but its what I've got!
