Excellent method for both home owners and yard maintenance business cleanups. Yes, the smaller the yard debris the more that can fit into the yard bins/barrels.
I know what you mean by top heavy. This design is easy to over steer and if you're on sloped ground it wants to fall on it's side. After mine tipped over the second time I modified it by moving the rear axle more forward under the flywheel and extending the the width of the axle about 6 inches total giving the wheels a wider stance. I then removed the front steering and wheels completely and fabbed a trailer tongue instead. Now I can tow it with my garden tractor. SO MUCH BETTER NOW.

Good demonstration video. Thanks for not playing any silly music with it either.

Cool.
Good vid. Side note - it was rated for 3.5in. The model 3514 is a 3.5inch cutting w 14hp engine.
Works great for my small projects.
How did you upgrade the motor? Was it easy? Can you show me how you did your? I want to do the same. Excellent and well explained video brother.
I've posted a video on changing the engine.
Can you show how you do maintenance to it sharpen blades oil change ect
Trying to decicide between Jansen 1500 and a Yard Beast..Heard one guy with Jansen the inner wheel knife exploded..
curious, how many cubic yards of yard waste was put into the chipper? For context, a 8ft long bed truck is 2.5 cy
The drum chippers seem to pull brush in much better
Agree
I wish you had shown a closer view of the wood chips. It looks like string?
