The chipper is worth the money. It is very dependable.

There is nothing to dislike.
Ruggedly made, and easy to put the few things they left us to bolt on, but other than that.
Fantastic buy for me.
Great Unit!
CONS: Unit will suck in the branches, and toss out chips..keep hands clear of top portion . Do not look
into the hopper on top, you may get a face full of chips! Unit is a bit scary to use...noise level requires you to wear ear protection. also use gloves and definitely eye protection!
I am still glad i bought this unit..it eats up the branches and self feeds them into the 3 inch tube!
Update: one week later : I put in the chipper some pumpkin vines...and it stopped the unit to a dead stop.
I then had to remove the wheels and the vacuum housing to unclog the unit of the vines. It was so packed it took me over 30 minutes to clean the clogged chipper blade. After cleaning.., i re-choked the engine, and pulled once, and it came to life. This unit made very very short work of my three 10x25 gardens, I was a little dumbfounded when I realized how quwik it handled all the dead garden leftovers.
If you take care of the unit...it will take care of you., and they have a website with other products you can buy.. BUT i cannot find a vacuum hose attachment for this unit..i wrote the company..,and am still waiting for their reply.
Two more days later: I got a response from the company. they stated they do not make a vacuum hose to pick up leaves for this unit. They asked me to purchase an "Amazon" one to see if it fit their chipper.
Only problem is the hose on "Amazon" costs $149.00.
That is a pretty hefty cost for a plastic hose!
More CONS: there was another pumpkin vine that decided to go into the hopper /chipper...I thought for sure it would go through the chipper this time, since i Cleaned out the blade area last use.
Needless to say..One has to remove the wheels again. take the first cover off thinking it is the culprit ,
only to find several more bolts behind that cover had to come off...showing just the blade and the back cover near the engine. there was packed vines and dirt in there the whole thing this time. I guess after missing that area to clean last time, the first three minutes of use of the chipper ran ok until it slowly started to stop the engine. It took some time to clean out the whole of the blade area this time...and this is not the only problem i ran into.
I started the engine after cleaning the blade housing out, ran it until all the pumpkin vines were chopped up.... so I reached down to hit the OFF switch, and the unit started to slowly stop.. only to start up again on its own several times since i had the OFF switch in the OFF position!
I will have to look into this problem too.. maybe the kill wire to ground on the unit is loose or broken somewhere under the engine housing, and my have vibrated loose. I don't know for sure.
Just too tired after cleaning up the back yard gardens today, so will check it out at a later time.
I still love this chipper...it is very powerful...do not let anyone under aged kid child or young one even throw a branch in the chipper or clippings into the hopper...very powerful and dangerous.
But it WILL get the job done for you in short time.
Thank you.

If you need to put this thing in the back of a truck or polaris be aware! The description says it weights 44 pounds. IT WEIGHS WELL OVER 100#. we take this every day to the other side of our property and having to lift this up or down scares me so bad I cry the entire time!! Otherwise it works great

Super easy to put together. Add oil before installing branch chute. Started second pull. I used the bag as I'm fill up a mulch pit. Bag string broke within 3 minutes. That said it went through a 5 foot pile of leaves in about 30 minutes. You can overfeed it so be a bit slower on the feed. Branches to about 2" went right through. I'd buy this again in a heartbeat

Was easy to put together and started easily. It arrived dented but was easy to straighten out as the metal is somewhat thin.
