Any Rec on a Wood Chipper / Leaf Shredder?

[slipperybidness]

Anybody have a wood chipper / leaf shredder rec for me?

I'm on a property of 1.5 acres, and about 0.5 acre is just "wild/undeveloped". I would like to clean up that area a bit, but I also have loads and piles of oak leaves every year that I have just been piling in the undeveloped area until I figure out a better solution. And of course there are trimmings and branches generated every year that need to go.

I would try to keep it less than $1k, if that is reasonable for a 1.5 acre property.

Are you in North Dakota, near Fargo?

The budget is fairly small. Check out Ritchie Bros auctions: I registered to check prior results and will share few screenshots:

There are some active listings like this one:

I am absolutely no expert, but it seems like this one would be over your budget.

I think it would be much better to get a used heavy-duty equipment, rather than brand new light-duty stuff.
