PTO Chipper

OK, the wife wants to know what I want for my birthday. After thinking about it, rather than a landscape rake or box scraper, I could most use a pto chipper. I am in the process of clearing and am tired of moving branches here and there in the woods to hide them. We are not allowed to burn here so that is not an option. Any branches over 3 inches I use for firewood. Does anyone here have experience with pto chippers? People on TBN seem to be real hot over the Jinma, which makes me suspicious. The DR seems way overpriced for what you get. What do you say?

Word on the street is that the Jinma is pretty good. I think more people would complain about it if it wasn't.

No burning - that sucks. Chipping gets old fast.

Isn't that the truth. I gave my chipper away as it was just too much work.

Why can't you burn?

Can you have a campfire for cooking? I know some people that are in areas that don't allow burning unless it's for cooking. They make a huge fire, then sit way back with a marshmallow or hotdog on a stick. Although law enforcement tried, they couldn't do anything about it.

As per the law:
Depending where you live in Kitsap County is the difference as to whether you live in a "Burn Zone" or a "No Burn Zone". This came to be by the passage of a law: Outdoor Burning Rule (WAC 173-425). This law states that outdoor burning would no longer be permitted in urban growth or high-density areas, cities or areas where there are other alternatives provided after December 31, 2000. Simply stated if you live in a "No Burn Zone" you are not allowed to burn natural debris outdoors, at any time.

In my area, you are only allowed to burn material in a fireplace or barbeque, and those activities are subject to regulation during times of bad air quality (inversions). I go on 1 or 2 calls a day to shut down "illegal burns".

Hey BH, drag all the brush into your house, then set fire to your house. You'll fool them into thinking its a house fire, but dont tell them you are secretly just burning your brush ;)
That'll fool them.

:D

Funny, I found out that N.C has a no burn law as well. Asked ALL of the surrounding neighbors and some of my customers as what they did with their branches, leaves... and they all gave me the same response, "we burn them, what else would we do?".

Good enough for me, and I have a nice night bonfire as well, and not once has anyone showed up asking me to put it out.

Sorry, burning trash is one thing, but please explain to me how burning wood or something "natural" in the enviroment is harmful? (other than causing a major brush fire).

If it's justified, is burning down your BIL's house illegal there? I'm not sure, but I need to find out when doing so is in season here. :whistle:
