Wood Chipper Tips and Tricks! #farm #landscape #gardening

Guys, I had no idea this thing was going to be as powerful as it is. Now, I will give you a piece of advice before we walk around this. Uh, whenever you shut off a machine like this and you're going to put it away or tuck it away in your shop, your garage for a day, 2 days, 10 days, or 10 months, be sure you use a fuel treatment. Use non-ethanol fuel. Even if the manual says you can use ethanol, it says read owner's manual uh ahead of time. I'm not sure. I'll post it down there. Uh what it requires fuel-wise. I put on ethanol on all my small power equipment because ethanol destroys power equipment in my humble opinion. Now, the 12 horsepower motor kicked butt. I was super impressed. Started up just fine. Uh right here in our hopper really didn't show any damage. You guys saw that big stuff I put in. Some of that stuff was that big around pushing the limits of this machine. Really did. If you've got a chipper like this, here's a little pro tip. Don't put a 16 foot long five and 3/4 inch log down in there. Put a four, five, sixfooter down in there. That way the force of that flywheel doesn't slow down so it chips up really, really good. If you put a big long log in there, it's just going to slow that flywheel down. It's not going to cut as good as it
