So what is the verdict, is it worth keeping or better to just strip it for the parts I can use? I don't like destroying machines that are in good condition but if they have no further use then I guess it is a strip and the rest off to the scrap. I have a chipper here that has only been used once and that will probably go the same way. Honda motor on that is probably the only thing worth keeping. Crazy thing is people keep buying these useless chippers for big money only to discover it takes a weeks to get a few branches through them
