    I've never seen such a tiny chipper....it really does go to show about size, its what you do with it that matters lol 😂 😆 Love the lesson and opinions, You're a very trustworthy guy! Thanks Cheers from Texas...ps, I would LOVE ❤️ LOVE longer videos from y'all.....PAH-LESE!!!

      Thanks for watching . Shelia how are you hope all is well ,😂😂😂 small but performs very well 😉.
      Working on longer videos. Just finding the time to edit the videos Is hard work,
      Would love to do this as a full time project but it’s not financially rewarding, but I get to speak with you amazing people on the weekly that’s the reason why we still crack on with it, 😎

    Had mine 6 months now. Absolutely superb for the size/weight and price. Just remove any big side Branches when you are doing your pruning stack it the right way and it’s amazing how quick you can feed it through the chipper I have removed all the safety guards though as that makes a big difference

    I’ve had this chipper for 6mths and it’s brilliant. As with anything it has its limitations but wood up to 2.5” it’s fine. Green leaves can be a pain sometimes but all in all, for the money it’s a top machine.

      I have had one for a year, they are very good little chippers.
      I'm using it on pollarding work, I'm a climber.
      Blades reversible, full efficient, I can pick it up and put it in my tip truck easily.

    al these wood chippers, have 1 thing in common, the blades are placed parallel to the counter blade (wich entails power loss for the motor), mounted on a blade holder, why not at an angle of 30° diagonally to the counter blade, which is also very important that it is as sharp as the blades themselves, like a "guillotine", there is much less loss of power for the motor, if I could design my own machine I would do it in a heartbeat!! (but unfortunately I don't have a workshop), let me know what you think about it

    Hi Alex & Gary, never bought a Wood Chipper machine before, but only have but 1 Pear tree & ( 1 Peach tree that doesn`t do well. But do have 6 Rose of Sharon tall bushes & 1 Dwarf Lilac bush, & 2 Mimosa trees, that all will need trimming next year, it`s winter here now & too cold! Now question: I have a Pine tree, that has died at the top...do I cut that off next year & only have the bottom part that is living?
    But thanks so much for your information & your Video!! Take care both of you & stay safe, Love from Central Illinois USA 😉✌❤

      It’s a great bit of kit. For me I use for winter work apple tree pruning and that but it’s can handle the work load but if I was going to be using day to day I would get something bigger , it only handles up to 50mm thickness fresh cut wood , really depends what your going to be using it for
