Champion Wood Chipper Shredder Review After 6 years of Use 

This guy is why I hate buying used equipment

Beautiful yard. Love the mulch boxes. Very nice. And it's a awesome machine. Iv had mine for 5 years and no problems.

Thanks. Really helpful to see just how the chipper performs on larger diameter branches.

At 11:30, you don't have to purposely reach deep down the chute up to your elbow to reach the blade. If you stick your hand down the chute, your hand or glove can get caught by tree limbs. The self-feeding nature of the cutting action will then pull your hand down the chute faster than you can yank it out.

it appears to me that you are in need of Blade sharpening. After 6 years you many need some equipment maintenance... Great Job I will be ordering this when I return home in march... Thank you...

The hopper has a larger throat opening than most chippers. Other chipper videos. Many have abandon using the hopper for leaves. Because You can only put in a small hand full at a time. And then you have to take a stick to push them into the blades.

love your property

Sounds like you have had better luck then me. Worked fine the first year but beginning of second season main crank broke in two. Not a long term unit in my opinion. Mostly rotten wood and poplar. FYI

May I suggest replacing the nuts holding the limb tube, and the clean out plate on the back with wing nuts? You may , or may not have to use lock washers. But would make it faster to un jam, or clean out the chipper.

When was the last time you sharpened, or replaced the blades?

Very timely as I'm shopping for a champion. QUESTION, which chute would you use for garden trash like tomatoes with thick stalks and corn stocks, rotten tomato, potato, light shrubs?

Signs that the blades need to be sharpened or replaced with a new set.

I don't bother with the bag, it slows you down... I set up a hard stop with some corrugated sheeting, so the chips pile up... just don't let anything get in the way!?!... 🙂

That willow looks really green. At around the 7:50 mark you start chipping some bigger limbs, if those were not so green would the unit still struggle like that?

7:47 Brief stall, but it recovers.

I just bought one with a 224 cc engine from Home Depot. I've only used it for a couple of days, but here are my initial observations. Even though it has a smaller engine, it seems to chip larger branches better than yours. Maybe you need to sharpen the blades? Mine will honestly chip a 3" branch with no problems, as long as it's somewhat green. Stuffing a totally dry one in will probably kill the motor after three or four feet, if I don't control the feed. Long, thin whippy branches and vines don't do well when fed through the top chute. Instead of shredding, they tend to come out in five or six inch chunks. The idiotic safety cover on the side chipping chute stopped me from feeding those through there, until I removed it. End of problem. Everything that isn't mostly leaves now gets stuffed through the side chute instead of the top.... Mine is a cutting fool; I figured out in a hurry I should gather and prep a pretty big pile of branches before even firing it up. It isn't all that easy to start. Throwing my full weight into a pull still doesn't get it rotating very fast, and it usually takes two, three or even four pulls. When starting it cold, I've learned to choke it for the first pull or two, then open the choke. And I learned to step on its stabilizer foot when starting it, after one mighty yank smacked it right into my big toe. It's still sore.... Be aware that both the shredder chute and the chipper chute will sometimes aggressively yank material out of your hands, Wear gloves. And I have colorful marks and bruises on one forearm, from a flexible branch that whipped around my arm as it was suddenly grabbed through the shredder chute.

Dang that’s one heck of a juicer! Oh.. Wait… That’s a chipper?! No. No, it’s not it’s just a juicer on a wheelbarrow axle. 🤔😆

How would this machine work with bamboo stalks? I have sizes from 1/4 inch up to 3 inches.

How many cc is this? 338 or 224?

Any problems come up as of yet? Great video

Can you tow it with an atv?

Судя по всему, пора точить ножи )

How do you drain the gas from it? My gas went bad and I don’t know how to get it out.

ok nice ok video ok right ok

you sound like you are from Manitoba 😂

looks like junk chipper having a hard time, no thanks.
