Spent this weekend with this shredder chipper. It does its job, but there are some limitations. I need to tune it more. It stalls occasionally, not even under load. It appears the choke part needs some adjustment. The air filter is also very dirty and should be either cleaned or replaced.
I used this machine mainly on small branches, leaves and other semi decayed wood pieces. I chose to leave the hard wood pieces out since this puts the machine with load. I also chose not to use chipper since it jammed once and it was hard to clean. I may use the chipper when I get most of yard waste processed.
I got more than 1/2 of my yard waste processed. The shredded materials look really nice, much better than the wood chips I received from tree service. I'm going to use 1/2 of it for compost pile and 1/2 as much.
