I need one of those. I need it to chip up awkward floppy dried out corn stalks and and sunflower stalks and also re chipping a shovelful at a time of rough chipped wood chips.

Your going to be happy with that chipper. That looks similar to mine and with those sharp blades your good to go. !:- )

I think you are on to something with the diameter of the chipper blade wheel and the size of the intake cone. Looking at the disc the blade is attached to leaves a lot of space that limbs can get caught on. I would like that disc to be large enough to cover the whole square or rectangular opening for the limbs to come into contact with the knife blade. As of the moment, I can't seem to find the correct descriptive words to say what I am thinking. I wonder if the opening were moved down to where the diameter of the disc was across the center of the opening or if the disc were larger in diameter with the knife blade rotating in the same relative position would accomplish the desired result.

quite a chipper investment! 😂 more than likely a good investment! hope business is good! 😊

I hope so too. I got a code violation notice at my other property for the size of the brush pile I was creating. This should allow me to chip in place instead of piling up deadfall.

Well your video is just what ive been looking for. Thanku so much very helpful. I got a deal on 7ho predator. Yet not able to handle larger branches then i bought a manual hand pump log splitter, also bought the round 4way where u sledge ax . 4lb. Then i found the Same DR wood chipper u have $500 the booklet date on back says 2008' i have to push the wood in and it won't chip on its own feed. I just ordered a blade on amazon half price compared to DR. Thankyou for stating 1/16 " anvil and 40° degree on blade i will see old one has any life ,i will have to find somewhere for that. I just bought a 1/2" impact wrench brushless motor 1500 NM i need to learn see how adjustment in there gonna be. Your video gives me the understanding to make better. I done have the large chute. My starter solenoid stuck i banged with tree branch😅 also my battery ground smoked was loose. I need to research the belts area. Nice u used a hoe to get the wood out. Most of all very glad you pushed the unit to its peak performance. Awesome yes the chute appears a little funky in there almost intentional to keep us from jamming her up. Most videos i watched they babied there chipper. Im on 2.5 acres i cut a ton of scrub oaks then i went around with my stihl pole and hand saw and loppers cut everyhing down to get ready for chipper and underneath last i will use our log spllitter. I bought splitting cone set and little small squere wood splitter. I wonder how the impact wrench would do with the cone splitter will see. I'm happy with my purchase. DR support phone waiting is horrendous. They did respond to me FB messenger was nice. Your video is what i needed thanku very much. They probably top for residential go bigger become commercial tier big money.

I still have this and it's chipping branches regularly. I have sharpened the blade once more. I'm pretty sure there is no friction material left on the slipper clutch :/ Note that every official DR video on KZread has comments turned off. Curious.

Wow I heard u say about clutch I need to learn more about it. My belt is good with ruler top test. Just belt still seems a bit loose. Need to learn how to adjust. Finally can do bigger batches and I have manual log splitter tools a few of them. Thanku.i think people can be overly critical these machines really get a workout. ​@@JoeMalovich

​@@JoeMalovichYes I need to learn about this centrifical and slip clutch stuff I'm using mine and the new blade is awesome but yeah it is definitely something in there getting weaker I was concerned about the belt being pretty loose but I in this case it's kind of nice that it's loose and it shows me that it's going to start to lock up and I can turn down the RPMs and get the jam out of there I do like that it'll disconnect. Does have trouble staying at the RPMs when you get to the bigger pieces got to hold it and let it bite then let it get another bite but then when it gets too short you just let it go and then the very last part can jam up

Yet overall it's really a savior is helping me a lot saving me a lot more time compared to the little predator seven horsepower that would have been a nightmare

Yeah I'm getting the same problem though friction seems really weak and mostly it's worse of course when I do bigger pieces and clutch gets hotter The belt looks good on the top you know with the ruler but it still looks and feels really loose I need to see if there's any bounce in the belt but I'm sure that clutch probably pretty worn I bought this used I heard it's like $300 is there any adjustments or it's just install and let it wear and tear​@@JoeMalovich

You put that chipper through it's paces, seemed to do great on the stuff smaller than 5"

Yes it does, I was really pushing it to see if I could. Hardwood that size is firewood in my book. I suspect if it was softwood it would power through. The larger capacity is really nice for crooked shizz.

@@JoeMalovich I need to find a wood chipper like the one in the video. My problem is, I like to push any type of machine with an engine I get to see what makes it tick

This was one of the most to the point videos on chipper usage maintenance and testing I could imagine. Applicable to most other units that are larger capacity and more capable. Not sure I would buy this model. It seems a poor design for function. Your review made me think. Thanks

I think the sequencing was good.

I got my new blade awesome will find machine shope for old blade. I went home depot to replace some of them old bolts nuts some they did not have or the right size

I didn't take the guard by the blade off I don't have spare bolts and Allen screws so I just left it but one of my Allen's crews on the blade the screw head stripped so I got the blade out on the edge and with a hatchet small hatchet I probably pressure on the blade on the outside of the orange can and got the nut off miracle

How about taking apart both impact driver to compare the internals to each other. I bet the banggood impact is built for our throw away society while the Makita is built to last. The chipper portion of the video I was waiting for it to explode by feeding it 5" rounds. Scary stuff.

I don't know if I want to take them apart. I use both of them now and bought the Makita with my own money, besides, I'm no AVE. I don't get the feeling that the Topshak will fall apart but time will tell. It's inexpensive enough that the usefulness outweighs the possibility of failure for non-commercial use. If you're using it to make money then I wish you luck. I didn't get the sense that the chipper was going to fail catastrophically. It's not scary, more satisfying in a mechanical morbid sense.

Sounds like the belt is slipping

Please invest in impact rated sockets.

@JoeMalovich

I have them. I use them where appropriate. Lighter stuff like on the chipper is no problem for even those harbor freight sockets where if I kept going the bolt would shear off.

your not gonna be mulching too many dead bodies with that chipper any time soon... nice purchase though
