Unjamming your Powerfist 420 cc / 15 hp wood chipper

[@jimcarl4316]

When I’m out in the field, keeping track of the flat washers and lock washers are a pain. I bought serrated flange nuts off of Amazon to replace them. They seem to hold well and I don’t have to worry about dropping a washer in the machine. The flange nuts use a 15 mm Wrench, which gives me enough room to use a combination wrench with a ratchet on the end. Much faster to takeoff. Thanks for your video.

It sure is.

Video was extremely helpful

Hi, @levihoward7305. Glad you found the video helpful and watchable. As I tell everyone, do your first oil change between 1.5 and 2 hours of run time. Enjoy!

We have the same chipper, blades are dull and not taking anything bigger than 1 inch, any suggestions?

[@ByTheGraceOfGod316]

Hi, Pamela. You can remove the blades and flip them over. They are sharp on both sides. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment.

Have you done a video on greasing the unit up? My manual says to grease two locations but does not locate them on the machine in a drawing and uses, um, interesting, part names. One grease zerk is clearly visible on the outside above the drum cover you highlighted in this video, The other one is a mystery so far...

[@ByTheGraceOfGod316]

Hi, @fatbikejamie. I hadn't thought about do a video on that topic. Not sure it wouldn't be much of a video with just two grease zerks. I see you spotted the hidden zerk in the other video. Glad I could help. Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment!

well, I see a new toy has appeared LOL I would have played myself ... I also hasten to stock up on firewood, since summer is coming here in southern Russia, fire danger is introduced early and it is forbidden to collect deadwood ..😊😂❤

[@dmitrytitenko1277]

answer me friend, where do you put the wood chips that you collect, what do you use the question for?😊

Your videos are awesome. My pull cord is stuck and maybe I have a wood jam?? I'll take off the chute and check. Your videos have been very helpful.

[@ByTheGraceOfGod316]

HI, @greatruralliving. I left a detailed answer to your question on the other video. Hope you find it helpful. Again, thanks for watching and for leaving a comment!

[@OverKill6969]

I noticed you changed the end of your discharge chute. Are you going to do a video on it? I hate the one that come stock on it and would love to know what you did.

[@ByTheGraceOfGod316]

Hi, Evan. I also hated the stock discharge chute. I can try to piece together a video of making it, or maybe just a verbal overview of the process. Basically, I just split a snowblower chute in half and narrowed it. There is one other piece, but it is complicated to describe. A video would be helpful. Have a great weekend!

What fuel consumption does the manufacturer claim per hour of operation?😊

[@ByTheGraceOfGod316]

They don't specify a fuel consumption.

[@jamiecraswell9368]

Just wondering what your thoughts are on this machine I see them at princess auto and wanted to hear your opinion on this pls

[@ByTheGraceOfGod316]

Hi, @jamiecraswell9368. I have been impressed with the unit, but not so much the supply of repair parts. It will eat branches like a knife through butter when the knives are sharp. But, mine is close to needing a new knife drum, but it has been on "back order" since February. If you are a small land owner who will run it a couple of hours a year, it is aa great buy. If you have heavier usage in mind, I would upgrade to a name brand unit.

[@raimopuuvark]

Hi there!Nice video again👍🏻was just a little bit scary to watch when you cleaned those knives with bare hands,arent they very sharp.I would use some wooden stick or gloves,but that’s me. All the best!

[@ByTheGraceOfGod316]

Hi, Raimo. They are not sharp like a kitchen knife. More like a sharp axe. That said, if you clean them by wiping from the back to the front, you don't encounter the knife edge.

[@raimopuuvark]

Allright,I tought they like planer type knives,they sharp as hell

[@ByTheGraceOfGod316]

@@raimopuuvark They are shaped like a planer knife, but not nearly as sharp from the factory. Maybe after I sharpen them.

[@dmitrytitenko1277]

I look at the moronic device consists of several knives, it looks like a jointer, is that a question.. Я так понимаю ножи съёмные

[@ByTheGraceOfGod316]

Yes, it looks like a jointer inside. Same sort of mechanism.
