Remember as soon as you dont see chippings coming out of the chute its on its way blocking up, especially on green leaves, conifer and branches are usually fine but be more aware that green leaves and shrubbery seem to block these chippers if your trying to force it down the hopper. Smaller amounts is more efficient to stop any blockages. Your learn the best way on different types of cuttings the more you use it. Good addition to your gardening equipment.☆☆☆☆

I've just ordered one of these Cobra chippers. I nearly cancelled the order because I was told they don't handle 'green' stuff very well, but after seeing your video I think I made the right choice. Thanks for taking the trouble to post your video.

😀 I find using a chipper very therapeutic! Something very satisfying about watching a huge pile of rubbish, disappear into a tiny heap of chips 😀

@@mackthomas8750 I have that problem at the moment, perhaps you can give me some advice? The blockage has occurred down the side of the cutting roller, and after fiddling about with it for ages I just can't unblock it! It looks like I may have to get to the blockage from the drive belt side. Any ideas would be really helpful :-)

Hi, I'm looking at getting this chipper, been doing so much research but now my brain hurts!! Can you please tell me...will it cope with Bramble, Bracken, green shrub waste as well as holly, oak, and hazel branches? We have a small woodland/garden I need to manage. Thanks :)

It will take whatever you can put through it providing the blades are Sharp and it's not bigger than 3 inches However put green waste through slowly so it doesn't jam Best machine for the price

Which model is this? Thinking about getting one as I do a bit of gardening and get quite a few small tree cut down jobs and they usually take a couple of hours to cut down then many hours to cut up to put in the van to take to the recycling centre, it's such a pain. I'm looking at the 3" chipper which should be more than enough for the work I usually do, which one do you have? Cheers

@@mackthomas8750 yes I was looking at their website, it looks like they do one model, a 3" with either pull or electric start, I think I might get one, I've rented one of those big ones that comes towed behind a van a few times but they've been a bit overkill for what I need but at £150 a day rental it probably makes more sense to buy a smaller one

I have the same one but it’s blue. First I will say this machine is extremely dangerous if you wanna lose an arm because it sucks anything in once the branch touches the grinding wheel so do not let anybody that you love use that machine, only you use it after feeling comfortable with it. Second the wood chipper is awesome my only question tho is if the branch is too big will it destroy the machine or is there a safety feature to stall it because I feel like there’s no stopping this thing. It swallow anything you can fit into the shoot which can be scary because I don’t wanna blow the damn machine up lol

If something's too big it just stalls but can sometimes block and you can risk damaging the machine but as long as your sensible with what you put through you should be fine

They’ve got one of these at my local garden machinery dealer, seemed too good to be true for the price. Good to see it in action, have you had much use out of it Mack? I understand it can take up to 3” diameter branches have you had any issues with putting thicker stuff through?

It looks to be a loncin engine powering the machine, I think the engine is a Chinese clone of the Honda engine, they say the loncin engine can be hard to start when left not In use for a while, but that loncin engine you have is an electric start compared to a pull start, so you should not have that problem.
