I own one of these , last years model a little different looking. They will be on the phone telling DR Power. I don't understand why the clutch and drive belt is worn out, it's a brand new machine. I will admit though, sometimes the machine will grab a hold of a larger branch an pull it out of your hand and will lug the engine a little bit. But I have never had mine stall out like that. He was shoving the branch in an not giving the machine a chance to recover.
When users ram a thick branch into the chute, the engine slows down to the point that the centrifugal clutch will momentarily disengage, and then when the drum recovers speed again, the centrifugal clutch will re-engage. Repeated disengagement and re-engagement of the centrifugal clutch causes the clutch to overheat and is a primary cause of failure of these clutches. The moral of the story is don't repeatedly overload these chippers.
@stevew3978 I have never had mine disengage the centrifugal clutch. My RPM has never dropped that far down. I've been using mine off and on for 7 years. I have never stalled it out.
by the time this guy's done with it it's not even gonna be able to even be used as a coffee grinder the way he's force feeding it over sized logs. It's a single cylinder homeowner chipper Not a Bandit 1390XP: tree servce machine.
80,000 views and not too many people cared to give a thumbs up or down. I bought a 4 inch chipper' 3 point for my 30 hp tractor and the main chipping wheel was warped' they didn't even respond when I e-mailed them //
Yeah, try a bit harder wood than conifers and we will really see if it can handle a 4"+ branch. I am not saying a DR chipper isn't a good chipper, I just wanted to see hardwood chipped.
I need a chipper shredder that shoots out the material on top like a chipper - not on the ground like most chipper shredders I’ve seen. Makes composting a lot quicker for my use case.
When they shoot from the top they are just chippers and are a lot heavier I know how ya feel I have been trying to use a little 6.5 hp mtd and these things are a beast compared to those.
I have the Jensen gts pro 2000 14 hp Kohler commander pro. I can throw a 7 ft Christmas tree in it one after another. Only problem I had with it the discharge chute would clog if I pointed the nozzle down but you learn.
Good old Briggs & Stratton engine they say that Honda is the best small engine right now on the market but if I had to buy an engine for a go-kart mini bike or anything stick with ol reliable the Briggs & Stratton engine made in the good us of a
I bet one of those China engines those clone Honda engines with wouldn't even last a week doing that kind of hard work I'm talking about the China engines they're selling all over the place different colors red white green pink yellow white all kinds of colors they come in variety of colors I guess they use the colors to attract people into buying them and see how pretty they look and to get suckered into buying a China engine and it don't last them but a week

Very good video. That looks like exactly the machine I need.
4:30 pretty much perfect example of the kind of work a laborer will give you complete mindless use of a machine
Bad ass wood chipper you guys have
has this person ever run a machine before

They're self feeding and advertised as such, so they're designed to let go and let the machine take it.
@@gnurmi yes but they were putting bigger branches then what was supposed to go through it.

@@BobSmith-qi5dinot true
That clutch costs about $300. I'd avoid slipping it so hard and long if I were you. Give it recovery time.
It's an extreme testing lol
Can you make a note as to which model chipper this is? DR Makes several.
Needs an low end torque engine ,like a diesel.
How big of tree or pile of trees did you start with?
He must not want to be there, looks like he trying to kill it

You can't always afford a pro level machine when starting out.
These machines can take alot of abuse the knife on them are similar size and same material as what a small vermeer has.
@@BobSmith-qi5di yes, but there just isn't as much steel around the knife and the housing as a professional machine.
@@Boodieman72 if you cant afford the best, you for sure have to learn to take care of what you have.

Yes there customer support is troublesome I went on X and messaged them they responded and I emailed they responded. Phone support forget it.
what model dr is this?
Briggs n Stratton get it done.
I have a chipper the dr 11.5 4 inch and from day one I have had to hand feed the branches in and anything at 4 inches it will burn the cutter
Have you checked the blades? They may need sharpening or replacing. Also is that the chipper or chipper shredder?
Are you trying to break it?
A some day for you guys
how can i contact with supplier of this machine?
Ok
I also want to ask why the company didnt put 2 cutters on the flywheel the motor isnt strong enough to handle 4 inch wood
You know there is always a place in the market. You should design one and sell it cheaper than a dr lol
Yeah, try a bit harder wood than conifers and we will really see if it can handle a 4"+ branch. I am not saying a DR chipper isn't a good chipper, I just wanted to see hardwood chipped.
i have this macine. it is garbage. go with a power king !! dr is big ripofff. does not hold up!!!
what model is this? im impressed where can i buy
I belive it is there 11.5 model with electric start go to DR power equipment you will find them there.
@@BobSmith-qi5diI just bought a used DR 18 HP Vanguard
I have nothing to pull it around. Do you think people could move it without anything
Yes, it's not that bad when pulling around on a flat surface. You might need some help on slopes though but it's not too bad.
Tough machine.
junk!
@@MrBillmechanicat least can do more than the 3" chute chippers. What would be better in this class
Is this highway towable?
Rolando Riggio yes good to 100 mph
Just think of how much salsa you can make!
Now that would be an amazing video. You can make the pico by the bucket full.
We did do that and it works great salsa by the 5 gallon buckets 🪣 your idea 💡 made us rich 🤑
hi, what model is this? What is the size of the engine?
Dr 475 420cc or 1650lbs
ENGINE NEEDS more TORQUE 🤔
Would chipper don't do torque
Nice video, some narration would help though.
I’ll tell you it’s not the pro xl501 the one I have and entered so I could see but hey wth
Reviews with no model number, no web link, no address are pretty useless.

Wish I had one, so I could NNNNOOOOOTTTTTTT abuse it.
How many ho is his DR

Keep force feeding your machine and it won't last a week!!!!!!!!!!

Briggs n Stratton of course and Tecumseh
One way to fuck up the chipper no common sense
It def. Failed

Yea its pretty much what happens when you loan someone your tools.
Predator engine from harbor freight?
That's a chipper. Has no shredder. Decent machine, but limited without the shredder function.
Who would want a shredder I had one of those cheap craftsman ones and it sucked these DR are the best for the price.
@@BobSmith-qi5di Please send me your address I need the machine This is my number +4915129757085

Aren't these self feeding why waste time shoving them in when the machine can do it? I say throw some in and grab more way more efficient.
