Chipper Shredder with 206cc Briggs and Stratton Engine Review

I bought this unit several months ago. Assembly went fast and smooth even though the unit is heavy. Adding oil was challenging until I noticed there are two oil fill plugs (right & left). Using the left one was much easier than using the right. The engine amazed me by starting on the very first pull! Note: when you pull the cord to start the engine, you're also rotating a heavy flywheel. Best to pull in a strong steady fashion (think of spinning up a flywheel rather than starting an engine).

The power of the chipper is rather amazing. It seems to have a sweet spot for branches between 1" and 2". It self feeds and eats those right up! However, I've fed an entire 20' buckthorn tree (leaves, berries, twigs and branches < 2.5") into the chipper. What I found works well is to take a branch with leaves/berries, dunk it into the shredder funnel (so the leaves/berries are removed) then send the rest of the branch into the chipper.

I have also been feeding dried wood from my brush piles into this chipper.

The bag consists of a very heavy duty fabric with a pull cord around the opening. This easily attaches to the chipper outlet. Chips and shreds are blown into the bag. It surprised me just how much this bag can hold!

The chips that are produced are excellent. Roughly the size of a man's thumbnail, the chips pack well and look quite nice. I put 2" of chips all around a raised strawberry bed and, after two months, no weeds in the chipped mulch! My wife very much likes the size of these chips.

I have not found the noise level to be objectionable. I seem to get a good run out of a tank of regular unleaded gas. However, there is one problem: the unit is heavy and it is hard to wrestle up hills. There is an adapter so it can be towed behind a lawn tractor, but at over $100 I'm reluctant to buy one.

Gotta say, last weekend two 8" buckthorns came down. Every last bit (< 2'5") went through the chipper. I got 5 stuffed bagloads of chips. Twice during the event, my wife said to me "I'm sure glad you got this".... or "This sure beats having a brush pile."

'nuf said.

October 26, 2013 Update. This chipper has continues to earn its keep. This Fall, for the first time, I started asking it to shred leaves. I have a 38" sweeper and gathered about 18 loads of cut leaves and grass (I'd mow the lawn short so grass and leaves are mixed together in windrows). That was a LOT of leaves/grass. I started dropping rake-fulls into the top hopper and found it worked great but it filled up the bag very quickly. So, I took the collection bag off the chipper and let it blow the shredded leaves/grass onto the garden (a 20'x20' space). The shredded leaves/grass eventually started forming a pile (sort of like a donut where the shredder output was the center and the shreds would form a donut around the center). The shreds were very fine. I had many twigs in the leaf piles and those when through the shredder just fine. I'd have an occasional clog when I dumped the whole rake-full of leaves at once. A "pusher branch" cleared those out just fine. I went through the whole 12 loads of leaves/grass and raked the "donut" into a pile. I noticed it was hard to rake because the fine shreds were very dense! Finally got a pile roughly equal to one-and-one-half loads of cut leaves/grass. So that is about a 12x reduction...approximately. This is going to be a marvelous mulch-pile! I'm real pleased with its shredding capability also!
