Good chipper, but somewhat underpowered
This is a good chipper, but the motor isn’t powerful enough for the unit. It is very well-designed and handles material without having to put much effort in. However, when you start getting into the larger stuff—like 3 inches you need to feed, pull back, feed, pull back. I would like to see maybe a 8 or even 10 HP motor on this unit, and I think that would make it perfect. Overall it’s much better quality and heavy duty compared with other chippers I’ve used and seen on the residential scale. However, a 6.5 HP motor just isn’t very powerful, especially for this kind of use.

chipper shredder
bought the yardmax chipper shredder. took it home. wouldn't start. salesman said the oil had to drain down after setting it on its side in the suburban. Waited a few hours it fired up and ran fine.

Love the product
Love this product and it will pay for itself by me not having to pay for mulch in my wife’s flower beds. Love supporting the farm family and home store!

Work horse
I just bought 5 acres in south east Michigan and am really tired of burning all the wood that I am cleaning up. So we decided to buy a wood chipper. After lots of research it was between two chippers one at the local tool store or the Yardmax witch I was happy I could walk in a buy the Yardmax (thanks to Family Farm &Home) already assembled right off the floor. I decided to buy and in about an hr. I was already chipping wood. So I’ve used the Yardmax chipper for about 20hrs with lots of dry maple and oak and this this is awesome. It starts up first pull and is really easy to clean out. It says 3” branches and does that easily. It’s so nice to use it is even fun to make all my trails and flower beds beautiful.

This is a great chipper!
I had bought another brand chipper that was $250 more than this one - and it was terrible - hard to start and very difficult to impossible to feed brush into it.
I saw this one on sale at my local Family Farm and Home - thought I'd give it a try. It works great - it's basically self feeding - and has a lot more power than you'd think. also, the fact that the engine can be disengaged from the chipper makes starting EASY! The previous chipper I returned, you had to spin the entire flywheel assembly to pull start it. This is a wonderful feature for the price . Congrats to Yard Max for designing a wonderful product - I've had it over two years now and love it.

Works like a charm
We use this chipper at home for all kinds of chores. It has been especially helpful in clean up after our recent big windstorms.

Great Chipper Shredder
I love this thing. It can definitely handle a 3" branch. We recently had half of a large sugar maple come down after a storm. This "half" of a tree was really the size of a whole tree. I was sick of running a burn pile and the thought of letting all this brush sit for 6 months to dry so we can finally light it up was not of any interest to me. We kept this chipper going all day after we brought it home. As an added bonus to us gardeners, we use all of the wood chips we make from around the property as our mulch around our garden beds. It's perfect!
