We go through assembly and the first use of the Powerhorse 420cc 5 in. Wood Chipper Shredder. It is a nice piece of equipment that is easy to put together and use.
Thanks for your information. I was able to put mine together while following your video. I was able to assemble it alone. The toughest part was picking the front end up while trying to get the stand on the front. I was able to slide a floor jack between the tires and jacked the front end up easily. Small detail about the tires. The manual shows the tires both ways. However if you look closely you will see optimal rotation arrow on the tires. Not a big deal but you and I did install them correctly. Good job, and thanks again.
I have the older version of that with an electric start but no trailer hitch. I’m currently thinking about adding one. One weakness in mine is the hinges are on the top instead of the side and since you move it around by the handle on the input chute it puts a lot of stress on those hinges. Mine finally broke so I had to weld on new ones. Mine also uses smaller blades and can only handle 4” branches.
Well, you did assemble the unit but actually gave pretty much no details. 1. The tires are directional. There is a left side and a right, and you can mount wrong. (The arrow-like tread pattern faces towards the hitch, also a directional arrow on the inside Of the tire). 2. Tire mounting: The off set axel is to be mounted so it is under the box steel tube. 3. Relocate the Stand Foot holes to the holes closest to the Mounting holes on the hitch receiver FIRST before mounting on the Unit body. 4. After Stand - mount the hitch bar FIRST, before the discharge shoot. This makes maneuvering the Unit so much easier. 5. Tip - gasket for discharge shoot will move around while trying to hold the shoot & get a bolt started. *small smears off any kind of grease or silicon or other on the Unit then gasket on top and it “sticks” in place. You still have to be careful but it really helps. 6. Although not asked for - apply bearing grease or other grease on the pins and the pin receivers before assembling the intake shoot. It protects the Metal to metal contact, the grease also will take-up any space between pins and receivers to prevent an accumulation of dust, debris. fyi fun facts, Tips - washers have a front and back, smooth side goes against frame/body, not smooth is for the Nut. Tip - there will be some rusted washers - Replace them with new better washers. Rusted washers will continue to rust and spread that rust to adjacent parts! Other than above - great vid Tks!
