1989 Craftsman 5hp Chipper/Shredder

I did a lot of tree work around the house this year and ended up with huge piles of branches. I got sick and tired of standing in one spot cutting them up for kindling, so I went out and bought this instead.
I see these things on Craigslist and Marketplace all the time asking anywhere around $300 for them, so getting one that needed a little TLC for cheap was far more worth it. It became an even better investment when I used it to clean up leaves this fall.

I hope those of you who are subscribed enjoyed these last several videos of all my finds this year. It was fun diving back into old hobbies again, especially given the events of this year and the state of my life after last year. This will most likely be the last video I put up of anything to do with this stuff for a while, unless something else comes along that's interesting enough to break out the camera for. Once again, thanks for watching!

You are the only one on TH-cam that mentioned oak. They don't like oak or southern long needle pine needles. Thanks for the video.

I’m looking at the same chipper online for $60.00 was it hard to find parts? Hopefully Amazon will have them

Did you have to sharpen the blades?

Lines up pretty well with raised garden beds I bet.

Just picked one of these up for 100 bucks. 😀

I just got one for $100 too! Blade change and lube the flails and it will run like a dream
