You spoke to the wrong person. We had South Bucks Tree Surgeons who
came with a huge trailer based shredder that dumped the chippings into
another trailer. Think of a combine harvester throwing the corn out of
the spout. They also had an "angle grinder on a wheelbarrow" stump
grinder to lower the level of the remains so we could cover them with
soil.
