The surprising truth about wood chippers...

- I picked up this small wood chipper from Princess Auto and man, I am impressed. Also, the title for this video was AI generated.

I've had this same unit for several years. Unfortunately, I'm going to classify this piece of equipment as Chineses junk. The metal fatigue from operations has caused the metal welds to crack & break on the axle & along the hopper connection to the intake. Worked great out of the box. I will say the engine seems to be better quality. You have to split the equipment to remove & sharpen the blades & the shredders. Be prepared to buy some metric tools you not have otherwise. I'm now looking at Patriot Products. American made. 3 times the price but will last for generations. Easy access to the blades & shredders. It generally took me 2 1/2 hrs to split the machine, sharpen the chipper & shredder blades& put it all back together on the TAZZ.
Thank you for showing us this little beast!
Greetings from Denmark.
I had an SNL moment. Saw the cat run by after watching you shred a ton of wood and though cat goes in shredder. Then had to pause and really think on what on Earth I was thinking lol.
Great vid. Was really helpful. Have similar branches out back and wasn't sure which type I truly needed.
I have an old MTD wood chipper with a 5 HP Briggs & Stratton engine, basically the same configuration except one side of the hopper on top will let down for raking leaves into it. The top side is for leaves and sticks up to 1/2". The chute by the engine is for stuff up to 3". It does a decent job on green limbs, if it is seasoned hard wood, you are better off cutting anything over two inches for firewood. MAKE AND USE A PUSH STICK. it is way to easy to think "I'll just give that stick a nudge." We don't want to be calling anyone Stumpy.
I have the same MTD ( 25+ years old) and it's dying. I'm going to also get a new one From Harbor Freight. Same as yours, only red.
Wood chippers are great to have, I 'inherited" one that my mom couldn't keep running. It works great but they included a rubber chute with it that was chewed up rather quickly. If you didn't want it tearing up the ground, it looks like you could unbolt the chute and fabricate something to send the discharge in a different direction. I welded up a simple angle piece to bolt on which sends the discharge backward.
It would be great if you included links to the products you use in the description of the video.
There's other channels where I've seen people put hoses on (using clamps, an HVAC boot and some bolts) to collect the chips in a cart. One design change I'd think of to submit to their company would be switching out the rubber fingers for a 1/16" piece of aluminum since it may help leaves and other small debris enter the shredder hopper easier.
Look forward to the progress update come April '24.
A wood chipper is a great way to take care of those nosy neighbors.... and their little dogs too... (ok, not the dogs)
Or maybe this, it might be rude to some but the truth hurts… when you hear someone laughing and can feel the evil from that shout to them they have an evil laughter. That will shut the whole neighborhood up.. I did this yesterday and eerie silence lasted for 3+ hours
‘Oh don’tcha know.’😂
Suprising results for how little it is. It's a great feeling when you buy something that works better than expected.
Yeah I thought the same thing. Cheers👍
liked your video. would like to see a review of the top part and how it chews up twigs and leaves to see how fine it chews em up.
Harbor Freight has same unit, with minor exterior differences. Does a good job.
Oh cool. Prince Auto and Harbor Freight sure are similar stores.
That is an incredible video 😉😉
You make a burn barrel, burn pile, or a rot pile near the property line so you don't have to see the neighbors.
Well there’s some dumb advice
I just bought a Champion brand that is the exact same configuration as yours. The only real complaint that I have is that the larger diameter sticks have to be really straight with nubs trimmed off or it gets stuck in the tube. I REALLY wanted one of those larger models, but the price difference going from a 3” to a 4”+ is thousands of dollars, and I couldn’t justify it for my use case.
Is this not available now? I see there is no link and I can't find it on their site. Regardless, thanks for the info.
Where the link?
What's the model number and engine size of this chipper shredder.? It's not shown on the Princess Auto web site.
You could use the dead Wood as firewood, that iS what I do in my place in Spain Basque, any Wood is perfect for a stove
I thought for sure that cat was going to jump in the thing. That's what my cat would have done...
I've had and used my Tazz for four years without a problem. Highly recommend it, but also highly recommend using over-the-ear hearing protection; this little beast is loud!
❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful piece of machinery. I must say your assembly and tools are excellent too! Do you think this wood chipper can also cut scrap pieces of vegetable tanned leather? I work with leather and I'm starting to collect a few of these. Not sure if a wood chipper can shred leather into confetti sized pieces so that it can decompose quicker. What do you think? Thanks
How much cost
🤚🤚🤚👍👍
How much does it cost over $1200?
and you spend an hour and a 1/2 to get 50 cents worth of mulch
I don’t believe it cost that much and I’m not using for the mulch. I’m using it to get rid of brush and sticks. Totally worth it
