How much wood can a woodchuck chuck???
Turns out, A TON!! This little chipper is just the tool. I have three apple trees on my small property. None had been pruned for a couple of years. After pruning, I had a backyard full of limbs. I considered renting a chipper from the local hardware store. That would cost me about $100 for 4 hours. Fun, but cost prohibitive. I ran across this little guy. After some additional research I made the investment. Couldn't be happier.
This is perfect for tree prunings that are straight. The items that were bent and curved took some additional work. Often I just cut off the bend and tossed that part in the yard debris. If you're working with tree branches that aren't very straight, this may not be the product for you.
As a bonus, the wood chippings make a great addition to the landscaping. The included picture is me just getting started. I was able to fill up this area, plus a couple more. Love it!
I was in the yard for six hours chipping branches. (Good thing this isn't a review on the help I got from my kids - it wouldn't get five stars). This machine never once got tired. Two times I tried to put a branch in that I questioned would be too big for the chipper. I was right. Turned it off, pulled the branch out and started it right back up. Put that branch in the firewood pile.
This bad boy is all ready for next year's tree pruning. Can't wait!!!
