Frequently Asked Questions
How big of a tree can a Chipper take?
Capacity. What is the maximum size of wood the chipper can chip? Smaller machines will allow wood pieces with a diameter of 2-3 inches to pass through them. Commercial-sized machines can handle pieces as large as 160 inches.
Which is better drum or disc chipper?
The general industry feeling is that a drum-style chipper can process palms and palm fronds (Fibrous Vegetation) more effectively than flywheel style chippers and also self-feed easier. The most important maintenance tip with either style is to maintain sharp blades.
What can I use instead of a wood chipper?
For example, you could try to use something such as an angle grinder to make pieces of wood smaller. By feeding small pieces of wood into the angle grinder, it’d be possible to make them even smaller. Some people have also used small chainsaws to cut logs and branches into small pieces.
Can you put any wood in a chipper?
What Can You Put in a Wood Chipper. Wood chippers can handle small branches, larger tree limbs, yard debris, hedge trimmings, and leaves. However, if you want to process green waste, it’s best to choose a chipper with a shredder feature.
How many times can you sharpen chipper blades?
Some manufacturers recommend sharpening or changing your chipper blades after every twenty-five hours of use. Others suggest sharpening chipper blades at least once a year.
Can you put wet wood in a chipper?
Do not put wet items, including green wood into the chipper. The chipper will not chip these items (for that you need a Chipper/Shredder see below). Be careful for embedded metal objects – sometimes trees have spikes or barbed wire and sometimes people just throw anything and everything in the chipper.
Do wood chippers need sharpening?
The knives should be sharpened every six to eight hours of “chipping time”. Processing old dried branches may require you to sharpen the knives more frequently. Another sign that the knives are getting dull is when the chipper loses its self feeding action.
Can I make money with a wood chipper?
If you are considering a starting a small business, wood chipping can be an effective way to earn money with minimal startup costs. A wood chipping business turns customers’ yard waste into mulch that can be used for decorative landscaping and compost.
How much HP does a wood chipper need?
Most PTO chippers require at least a 15 horsepower (hp) engine, so they won’t work with lawn tractors and other smaller models. Larger chippers often need 30 hp or more.
Can you take a full swing with a chipper?
You can hit full swing shots from back in the fairway, you can hit flop shots, you can hit bunker shots, and on and on. Adding a chipper to your bag means you need to take out another club, and the club that you sacrifice is probably one which is more versatile than the chipper.
Are small wood chippers any good?
Wood chippers for a smaller farm don’t necessarily have to be huge and bulky since even a small wood chipper can handle most maintenance needs. The right wood chipper would ideally have a discharge chute, be capable of handling small branches and, of course, small twigs, and have a safety hopper.
What is the difference between a wood chipper and a mulcher?
The main difference between a wood chipper and a mulcher is power. Wood chippers, especially heavy-duty machines, are designed to chip larger pieces of wood and branches. Mulchers, sometimes called shredders, are smaller and less powerful. They help turn small garden cleanup into mulch to repurpose around your yard.
