Chipper/Shredder and or Leaf vacuum

I have signed up three new clients and they have large 2 acre wooded properties. I am anticipating quite a bit of leaf and branch removal come fall.

We did one of the customers for a spring cleanup and that turned out to be a time nightmare needing three days and 7 truck loads worth of debris. They are all in the same wooded lot area, and I think it will be more of the same.

I have been looking at a leaf loader at Lesco to speed up that part of the process and reduce trips with the reduction ratio on the leaves. I looked at minuteman parker but their cost was half that of Lesco. Must be a catch right?

My question is, is there a chipper that can function as a loader as well? I am looking to spend under 7K since I don't have the jobs to sustain anything more than that yet.

Any suggestions or tips are appreciated.
