Ditto my own experience--I bought a Troybilt Tomahawk chipper, but sold it when I realized it took as much time to feed it as it did to burn the same amount of brush, and the chips from an hour of labor would barely fill a wheelbarrow. Whenever I can, I just let the pile rot, or burn once a year. Self-feed with a serious machine would be a whole 'nother deal.
