Debated between a gas chipper and an electric one for my small crew, went electric

I had to pick between a DR Pro gas chipper and a cheaper electric model from Harbor Freight for clearing brush on a 3 acre lot in Portland. Went with the electric because it was quieter, but it bogs down on anything thicker than 2 inches. Now I'm wondering if I should have just saved up for the gas one. Any of you guys run electric chippers for regular jobs?

@dakota787 nah man, electric has its place. It's quiet enough to run mornings before the neighbors wake up and costs nothing to run. Just gotta know its limits and feed it stuff it can handle.

Sounds like your electric chipper is just saving up that 2-inch brush for a sequel.
