I've never seen such a tiny chipper....it really does go to show about size, its what you do with it that matters lol 😂 😆 Love the lesson and opinions, You're a very trustworthy guy! Thanks Cheers from Texas...ps, I would LOVE ❤️ LOVE longer videos from y'all.....PAH-LESE!!!

[@acreslawncare]

Thanks for watching . Shelia how are you hope all is well ,😂😂😂 small but performs very well 😉. Working on longer videos. Just finding the time to edit the videos Is hard work, Would love to do this as a full time project but it’s not financially rewarding, but I get to speak with you amazing people on the weekly that’s the reason why we still crack on with it, 😎

[@vlmason9072]

What a great invention! Another great job! 💕

[@gailpalmer1926]

Love the mulcher. Bigger pieces for a nice fireplace 👍👍

[@jacquilane9742]

Really helpful. Thank you. Looks like this doesn’t have to be cleared out, like the smaller, Bosch or Homebase machines. Great, clear video. Thank you

[@nigelgardiner8398]

I’ve had this chipper for 6mths and it’s brilliant. As with anything it has its limitations but wood up to 2.5” it’s fine. Green leaves can be a pain sometimes but all in all, for the money it’s a top machine.

[@acreslawncare]

That’s true had some issues with a Laurel hedge but not enough to worry about. Had fun with a overgrown cornus the other day

[@robamdrewd]

I have been using one of these for a year now. Really impressed with the machine. I use a pop up garden bag at the chute and tip in to bulk bag. Thanks for the videos, we do alot of similar work 👍

[@acreslawncare]

Hey thanks for watching and your comment, yes they are awesome machines, a pop up bag sound like a plan. Might need to get one of them 💪

[@elmafudd5645]

Hı, is it still going strong, new blades?

[@jackw9920]

Had mine 6 months now. Absolutely superb for the size/weight and price. Just remove any big side Branches when you are doing your pruning stack it the right way and it’s amazing how quick you can feed it through the chipper I have removed all the safety guards though as that makes a big difference

[@acreslawncare]

Absolutely same removed all, just use a nice stick to feed the stubborn branches in keep them hand well away . Thank you for watching 👍

[@pablo9364]

@@acreslawncare yes I’ve just got one not used yet but the safety guard looks very restrictive

[@Crina-LudmilaCristeaAuthor]

Nice, thanks for the review!

[@acreslawncare]

No problem! 😀

[@tgsgardenmaintenance4627]

Been thinking about one these for a while, for the price and size, it looks extremely useful!!

[@geoffluck]

I have had one for a year, they are very good little chippers. I'm using it on pollarding work, I'm a climber. Blades reversible, full efficient, I can pick it up and put it in my tip truck easily.

[@wendydix5534]

Love a good chipper!

[@epohnam8179]

Wow! Long time no show you both,thought you went to the tropical island. Stay safe always and TcGB

[@acreslawncare]

Thank you for watching :)

[@billengberg7055]

Chip Chop did an ace job.

[@acreslawncare]

Indeed it did bill 💪

[@sandraengstrand2784]

ChipChop does the job! 😁🤣🤣

[@acreslawncare]

Thank you 😊

[@luannvondracek439]

I Crown thee 'Chip'. 😀 Quite a neat machine

[@acreslawncare]

Thanks 🙏 king chip chop 😂

[@del-boysnostalgiatvads7416]

Great vid… thinking of buying one,

[@acreslawncare]

It’s well worth it 😀

[@janiedunn637]

I ❤️ the 🪵 chipper. Nice & small to take on your truck 🛻, 👍🏻

[@acreslawncare]

Thank you 🙏 it’s a great size

[@reneakina8627]

Add a small limb chainsaw with extension pole to your crew next. It will surely hasten your cuts. Love watching your teamwork!

[@acreslawncare]

Thanks Rene 💪

[@paulinegoldsmith7301]

PG Tips Good job done super 👏👏👏👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@acreslawncare]

😀 thank you

[@annrae1597]

I love those chippers..maybe if you put one bigger tarp under the machine and your bag ,it would be easy to pick up the stuff that evades the bag.

[@acreslawncare]

Yeh that’s good idea 👍 will try that next time 😀👍 thanks for watching :)

[@happyfeet231259]

al these wood chippers, have 1 thing in common, the blades are placed parallel to the counter blade (wich entails power loss for the motor), mounted on a blade holder, why not at an angle of 30° diagonally to the counter blade, which is also very important that it is as sharp as the blades themselves, like a "guillotine", there is much less loss of power for the motor, if I could design my own machine I would do it in a heartbeat!! (but unfortunately I don't have a workshop), let me know what you think about it

[@seancoleman8528]

As usual guys love the video, may consider buying one as always having to fill the brown bin where as I could put it back on the garden nice, do u think it would chip bamboo thanks

[@acreslawncare]

Hey Sean, thank a lot for watching. I would say yes to bamboo as long as it’s not seasoned, freshly cut up to 50mm is perfect, we set a brown bin up and had it shooting inside it worked very well,

[@sylviaprudhomme5417]

Looks like could be quite handy

[@sretenangelovski4837]

Can you please tell me if you can adjust the machine for bigger and smaller pieces, thanks for the video😊

[@barbkeil-burton6894]

Hi Alex & Gary, never bought a Wood Chipper machine before, but only have but 1 Pear tree & ( 1 Peach tree that doesn`t do well. But do have 6 Rose of Sharon tall bushes & 1 Dwarf Lilac bush, & 2 Mimosa trees, that all will need trimming next year, it`s winter here now & too cold! Now question: I have a Pine tree, that has died at the top...do I cut that off next year & only have the bottom part that is living? But thanks so much for your information & your Video!! Take care both of you & stay safe, Love from Central Illinois USA 😉✌❤

[@JUGGA93]

Cool vid! Thanks for sharing. Can you put leaves and grass through?

[@acreslawncare]

Hey on this model no but they do have a mulching version for leaves

[@JUGGA93]

Thanks for the info. Keep up the cool channel @@acreslawncare

[@johntovey3928]

Wow , you scared me, you should never put your hands into the feeder , love your channel , looks like a great machine

[@acreslawncare]

Hey John thanks. I was being very cautious every feed and the blade is about a foot away from the smarty mark, thank for watching

[@BAAcic]

@@acreslawncare Yes I have recommended that my helper puts some sticky taped half way between his wrist and elbow, and not to put his hand in past the sticky tape. This works well and he still has all his fingers!

[@sheilam4964]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@mattseymour8637]

Thinking of getting one of these for my garden business. Do you recommend it for that and how does it cope with leafy stuff? Does it clog much?

[@JG-fv9bv]

Been looking at the electric version but if read several comments on a numbef channels saying the blades are not hardened as claimed so wear out and need sharpening often , only hardened to Rockwell 54 and not tool steel r58/9 ?

[@lvlndco]

Can the chips be used for mulch right away or do they need to be dried first?

[@acreslawncare]

I would say they could be used straight away. It’s so fine they would dry out in no time

[@jamesburnett5090]

I am starting a hedge cutting business. Will this be suitable for all types of hedge or will I need a bigger one?

[@acreslawncare]

It’s a great bit of kit. For me I use for winter work apple tree pruning and that but it’s can handle the work load but if I was going to be using day to day I would get something bigger , it only handles up to 50mm thickness fresh cut wood , really depends what your going to be using it for

[@HitmanDarts]

Where did you get it from? Checked the description but no link

[@acreslawncare]

Sorry forgot to go back and add it. It is: arrows-uk.com/forest-master-compact-6hp-petrol-wood-chipper-garden-shredder-fm6dd/

[@jathomas9928]

@@acreslawncare Was the £380 you quoted in the video with or without VAT?

[@acreslawncare]

Hey it was with the vat , looking at the link looks like it has gone up in value now, it was about 320 before vat . I can email them and say I have recommended someone see if I can get a discount link as it not a affiliated link. I can only imagine when it hit April it went up like everything else

[@michaelsinclair8279]

So, how would the machine have dealt with long leylandii branches?

[@acreslawncare]

It’s would eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner 👍

[@acreslawncare]

Any type of conifers I would chip when dry or it will create a build up.

[@BAAcic]

It would have the time of it's life with them, like my one did. They were freshly cut and it just couldn't get enough of them.

[@kazsasha5993]

Would this chip bamboo ?

[@antonin1477]

Mignon, avec son casque et ses grosses lunettes !!

[@claasstuermann579]

A bigger on is better??

[@acreslawncare]

Always but I don’t do tree surgery just pruning and it can cut 2.5 inches thick so it’s enough

[@YardzMowing]

Hi mate is it good on conifers?

[@acreslawncare]

Hello 👋, yes mate, conifer is fine its best on fresh cut wood, it eats wood well, make sure it’s dry not wet condition when doing it as it can get a little sticky and you need to clean it out more,

[@YardzMowing]

@@acreslawncare nice one mate I have a lts 6hp one and it struggling on conifers thank you for your advice have a good day 😊

[@acreslawncare]

If I’m honest it says 50mm but I would stick to about 40mm thickness , it is a great machine,

[@YardzMowing]

@@acreslawncare thank you 😊

[@_Chessa_]

Is this available for US orders?

[@acreslawncare]

Hey thanks for watching, I’m not sure, I believe it might be uk 🇬🇧 have a look on the forest master website 😀

[@davidh266]

Once the smallest stuff is gone. The bigger bits should,could be burned on stove

[@acreslawncare]

Very true!

[@franwentz4820]

Its rather small.......on 'my simple life' videos.....the guy has a bigger one & can feed long strait ones in another hole.

[@SEBZED86]

A year later and that price has gone up to £569 😮😢
