@Jonny: great idea, the fenders are strong enough to be stepped on. I was thinking of welding a few hooks on the back to attach my log/brush cart. I use plow markers for the wood splitter because it is so tiny. The back up camera has been a savior when working alone. It even has a dashed center...

Thanks. Dedicated tool box is a good point. I am thinking of carrying a spare belt along with the spare set of knives. Pool came with the house, when I close my eyes I see a workshop on top of it.

On the hunt for the the perfect used 6 to 8" diameter capable brush chipper. I see two main types around. The automatic centrifugal clutch and some with an engagement bar (Rayco RC6D). Anyone familiar with one or the other type and what can go wrong with these engagement systems? Engines (Honda...
