Harbor Freight chipper first impressions & clearing brush

[@justsomeguy6133]

I like mine so far. It’s better than I expected at branches but not as good at leaves, which I have a lot of. It shreds them fine, but the rubber safety guard makes it a pain to get them to go down.

It has been a good chipper so far. I don't use it nearly as much as I did when I first got it, but do once in a while. I haven't had any troubles with it so far. Thanks for watching, and have a great day.

I have one, and have a video on it, and I don't think the rubber is the big problem, it's the fact that the opening narrows down too small. The opening at the bottom should twice as big and it would be much better.

The rubber guard was just about the first thing I removed. Now all my leaves go down easily.....

Just after the 6 minute mark when you started cutting the saplings, I thought that you should be wearing protective gear. Then later you said that you got hit in the eye by a sapling. I rest my case.

The sad part was the sappling that hit me in the eye was still rooted in the ground. Buy yes, I should have been wearing safety glasses when I was using the equipment.

Well done, i would like to see you test the max size you can chip and how fast👊🏻

Hopefully we will be back at the Little Creek Cottage soon. We will be clearing a little larger branches out from our ditch so we can widen our driveway. I will do a little test and record it then. Although I suspect the 3" that it is rated for is going to be a bit much. Maybe if it was dry wood, and only about 5ft in length it might could do it, but we will have to see. Thanks for watching, and thanks for the input.

Some type of hitch that would hook up to the tractor would be awesome

Maybe a future project
