Clearing out trees before they get too big at a 12 year old or so home.
10 inch to 16 inch dbh trees.

Arbor-trolley for the low limbs from chainsaw and pole chain saw. Rolled right to the chipper.
Used small trees' material to pad the asphalt for wedge-overs. Built up logs in three layers on the gravel at the edge of the asphalt for the trunks at about 15-20' high to hit, so as not to poke the asphalt with the bigger trees.
Cones marking dogwoods and currants that needed protection (part of the initial limbing up for clearance over them as the trees fell).
Cool and dry, then cool and wet. Very little dust by comparison to a normal day.
My chipper makes that kinda material disappear into the woods so fast. Probably terrible for an oak forest. The only sensors are a temp gauge, oil pressure gauge, and formerly an amp meter. So little to go wrong/ act up.
I read horror stories of some people's new machines having all sorts of expensive repair and downtime problems/ expenses.
