I love how you start by complaining about how $500 is a lot for a brush cutter--and people immediately start suggesting $2000 and up items! Including a tractor! We just love our toys around here.

Wow. I bought a chipper/shredder the other day.
Does that count for anything?

Hey, I suggested sheep and goats. You can eat those when you are done with them!

Ever since Carol (my late wife) saw a TV show about a Michigan lady who used a wood chipper to dispose of her husband's frozen corpse, I would be periodically reminded how useful it would be if we had a wood chipper for the yard. I always found excuses to postpone that purchase

There was a physician in Connecticut accused of the same thing....well, the opposite: An unfrozen female (wife).
I don't think the one I ordered would work for chipping a human body. I'll have to go for something smaller, like kittens and bunnies.
Oh My God, People. I'm JOKING!

I think the trick is to cut the body up before leaving it to freeze. Anyways, good luck with the kittens and bunnies...
Someone is probably going to tell Amie about this post and then we'll all get banned from the board.

Bridgman... hmm... now I've met the man that needs a gas trimmer. I bought one shortly after we moved in... thought "what a pain in the ass to run extension cord to the front street to trim around 2 trees"... now I think "what a pain to start a 2-stroke trimmer to trim around 2 trees"... somehow I missed the point of my complaint. :P

The tractor is not cheap initially. In fact, I chuckled at the "$2000+ items, including a tractor" comment. But consider this - you have a very strong engine you can apply to many tasks. Want a chipper? You can spend the same amount for a much better unit without an engine - just get a 3PH model. Ditto for tillers, shredders, snow-blowers, etc. etc.
Funny story. When I first got this thing, I was driving around in the front yard getting used to it and giving the kids a ride. My wife came running out of the house waving. "Hello, Honey!" I thought. But I had the bucket too low and plowed up a 30' strip of sod. Oops - that thing just does NOT stop. And mine is pretty small by most standards - a 30HP Kubota.

Y'all do realize that my comment was from a guy who had budgeted $600 for a piano and ended up spending >$2000, right?

Yep. I lived in CT at the time. Shortly after that incident there were t-shirts for sale with a picture of a wood chipper on them, and it said "Divorce Connecticut Style".
Nice, I know.
