AS SEEN ON TV the DR chipper 375 can only handle perfectly straight manicured lumber.

Seriously the marketing video is offensive: https://youtu.be/8RXEFMmaeWA

He might as well be feeding 2x2s off the rack at home depot.

    One sideways twig utterly defeats the gravity “feeder”. Whats the point?

    A proper wood chipper has an unstoppable hydraulic toothy roller that drags everything into the maw.

    This gravity feed abomination should never exist. It was designed purely for profit.

      So buy a big ass professional chipper, even rent one.

      This one is a simple one for casual once in a while use. I’ve used these types. They work but you need patience.

        This one doesnt solve a problem for me. It took more work to chip my twigs than it would take to bundle them up for the trash collection.

        I’m mad that it exists at all. Plus the mfg outright lies about its capabilities.

          Fair enough.

          Burning is good too for small stuff

          I had 11 big trees dropped in one day. We had bonfires of twigs. I was fortunate to have the space to burn it.

            I do sometimes burn the twigs but the old lady around the corner has to comment…
