First let me say nice choice but many will not agree with me. It will fill that box full, you will have to adjust it maybe but once the chute is adjusted it will have no problem filling your bed. I want to tell you those chippers have many great benefits one being low maintenance. There are not as many moving parts as slow feed chippers. On six inch wood it will mutilate brush as fast as you can throw it in. Some of the hydraulic fed chippers will have a man waiting in line but not the whisper, chomp its gone. You will have to cut the brush where it feeds with no wild limbs and it does have some drawbacks, however expense and down time should be minimal comparatively speaking. jmo

I have a chipmoore chuck and duck, It will throw chips 30' plus. I love mine. It eat brush fast and is simple to work on. As long as everything is cut right. Like stated above. If you dont have a lid on the top,tarps will leak out the side.

Most don't like them because of the sting lol. Experienced tree men and old school like them for durability and ease of maintenance low cost brush reduction especially in a small scale setting. There are drawbacks just as there would be moving a tub grinder to a small job!

I use a morbark 2400 alot, It works nice to but alot of people around here like firewood so brush needing to be chipped in not much. This chipper wieghs around 3200 lbs, The morbark is around 9500lbs plus. As long as the job gets done. This chipper will not settle while running as much as the morbark, Have to put boards down on some lawns. Its like a ford vs. chevy or stihl vs. huskys . I dont get beat up as much with the smaller chipper, The feed wheels grab and throw limbs anyway it wants with bone breaking power. The little chipper I dont get close to it, I throw limbs in from a distance. I like them,
just get-r done.
