Electric Tractor...Now will it do ACTUAL WORK?

What happens here

Carefully feed the cut branches and brush into the wood chipper's intake chute. Maintain a safe distance, using the material itself to push new material forward if possible. The chipper has a flexible plastic guard to prevent debris kickback and a 'Push-to-Stop' safety bar. If a problem occurs, pushing this bar will stop the feeder rollers and can also reverse them to clear jams. The shredded wood chips are discharged from the chute, forming a pile or spreading over the land as a beneficial mulch. Continuously feed material until all brush is processed.

Goal: Process cut branches and brush into wood chips.
