Great video. Just a quick tip in your shut-down (O.F.F. settin ;) ) to help your engine last longer. Idle the engine down for a minute or 2 to cool the engine down and let the blower dissipate the heat and hot spots. More importantly, because that setup has a huge fly wheel, it runs on for a while after power to the spark plug has been cut. Here's what happens when you do this. The govenor senses the RPMs' slowing sown, so it opens the throttle wide open to compensate. What's happening at this stage is the carb is dumping gas into the cylinder, compressing it, then blowing it out the exhaust. During compression, some gas will be forced passed the piston rings (this happens in all engines, even when running in the O.N. position. This unburned fuel finds it's way into the oil, dilutes it, and shortens engine life. Not to mention, you could get an awesome back-fire out the exhaust as the unburned fuel ignites on the hot exhaust. Cheers.

Just a word of warning with chipper. As fast as it pulls it in to chip it’s just as fast to rip your hand open. ALWAYS feed with big end first. I had a branch that had a smaller lateral branch farther up broken off with a jagged point. As it got sucked in I could not get my hand out of the way fast enough. It ripped my hand palm wide open through my leather gloves. 37 stitches later and thinking about what had happened. If the branch would have been the other way it would have been fine. Be careful.

Lol the turkeys were laughing at you. Awesome video thanks for sharing with us. The wood chipper I have is about that size and I love it.

That thing is heavy, Your ol'lady is a hoss. One handed and held her own beer!

Keep your hair tied back before it gets sucked in the machine especially when leaning in to turn it off

I'm sold, I've been looking into this one for awhile. Especially with that price point, and Harbor has a pretty good return policy.

I love that you actually acknowledge her as trophy/ click bait. Best channel.

The middle school antics gets old after about 2 seconds into the video

This was unique. I'm kind of amazed at how fast it yoinks the wood. Some serious damage could be caused quickly if the operator is not careful. Nothing like the small Electric chipper they sell.

he is working well into beer thirty hours. keep the beers coming lol

I use my chipper to clean-up mesquite branches and pecan branch trimmings. I keep them in separate piles and when we smoke meat(s) we have ready made smoker wood chips. The garden and trees love the mulch too.

Awesome video, love it.

Sure, the clickbait got me here but the drinkin' kept me here. I think everyone has a "drunk Matt". lol Good stuff.

Us folks from the Fargo area sure appreciate a good woodchipper video!

Sure hope y'all have an awesome THANKSGIVING. We had ours today with the kids and grandbabies👍👍

I about died when Syd said what I was thinking around 3:40.... "That's what she said." 😂🤣

I used to rake leaves then I discovered a mulching blade for the mower. Leaves seem to vanish before your eyes, no raking.

About 15 minutes in I realized there is a wood chipper involved in this

Love that you showed how easy it is to pull that thing with one hand! Good old American ingenuity - get those rubber flaps out the way! Thanks for showing all that could go wrong!

Thanks for sharing. I'm buying the Champion wood chipper. The only thing good on the harbor freight chipper are the tires lol. 5 years later my Champion wood chipper is still going strong. Most amazing thing about this video is that the lady didn't spill a drop lol

"Honey can you move that heavy thing across the yard"? "HOLD MY BEER", " Never mind, I got it".

Syd does everything with a drink in her hand. Mike puts literally everything in his back pocket. Lol!

Reminds me very much of my own farmstead and family!! Keep it going!! From Southwest GA.

You guys look like you have a lot of fun while working. Great vid!

Gotta line up the crosshairs. I get my wife with stuff like that all the time. Too funny. You guys are great. Thanks for the laugh and hello from North Georgia.

I pile the leaves up and mulch them with the lawn mower. Much faster

Great video you guys!! Luv the beer drinking and keeping real!!

Great video. The wood chipper did a great job and Syd you did great:D

Leaves just go in the pile straight away without grinding saves a lot of work. Need some moisture to get a good fermentation going. Throw in some high nitrogen fertilizer get it cooking in no time.

lolz props she didnt put the beer down once while moving the chipper

Harbor Freight tools are made for home owners that only use their tools two or three times a year. After about twenty-five or thirty uses something will fail and it will no longer work. If you are going to buy HF then you must buy the extended warranty, they honor their warranty very well. If it hasn't been too long you can add the warranty even after your purchase. Good luck, you will need it with that machine.

i couldnt watch this without grabbing a beer

if you really need branches get ahold of a landscape company and they will be happy to give you all the branches you need

click bait sooo good I just subscibed! nothing like a good looking lady!

This was a fun and informative video, thank you.

Haha! The on/off switch got me the first time, too! Pulled for 20 minutes.

I won’t comment on the wife any fool can understand she’s gorgeous but I will comment on the Predator engine. It’s extremely inexpensive and made in the same factory in China that Honda engines are made. It’s very popular in the go cart scene because hop up parts that fit the Honda also fit the Predators

The click bait worked lol

holy cow that thing is way stronger than i thought it'd be haha. i might have to get one after all. I feel bad talking crap about it the other day when my uncle said I should get this one since it's relatively cheap.

Thanks for the video! I'm getting tired of burning branches all of the time. I think this machine will do. Hello from Loganville, GA!

You're wife is a fox! I was really here for the chipper reviews though lol.

Some hearing protection would be good and always feed it with open hands and not gripping the branches. Stand to the side so when it whips the branch it doesn't hit your pretty face.

City dweller here, but it helps to put sticks in with leaves because leaves are to light-weight to go by themselves.

Hey😆 Darn good video. Been wondering about that chipper .

Once you get 30 miles outside any big city we're all the same. Makes no difference if it's NY,GA or Cali we're all just country folk.

I think I would go check my wife and friend

Good job great video.. Wtg showing up the guys.... Lol and you rock those safety glasses... Been waiting to see how that unit worked... Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving...

Was considering this chipper to mulch a brush pile left by the previous owner. After watching the amount of work to chip such a small amount of branches, I'm not convinced this chipper is a cost effective investment. During wet weather, I have been cutting up some tree branches and burning it in a barrel.

Justa Drinkin and a chippin...what could go wrong?!!!

"Trophy wife", indeed! She is the reason God created yoga pants!

To heck with possibly flipping over this new chipper, cause i gotta protect this drink.

It's seems to work well for leaves and branches but how well does it shred junk mail?

"wow this has crosshairs?" guy takes swig of beer... "i married her" lmao, if that ain't a SMH moment

also may help to get blades sharpened I remember the one my boss had they didn't sharpen them

good to see I'm not the only one with the Accessory beer option model ;-)

I like your all videos

Where is the ear protection, you will loose the hearing if do not start to use protection, says one that is suffering hearing loss .

Waste of time running leaves through. They break down quickly with no help

The instructions may not say it, but hearing protection is also recommended with the engine and chipper noise. Good job on your first run with the chopper.

Informative and hilarious!! Loved this!!!

Follow-up six months later... How has it held up???

Thats good click bait right there.

Lol gotta love the Safety Goggles...👌....Safety first🤣👍

You guys are hilarious! Good video.

You need a beer holder on that there chipper

you do to much work to be a true trophy wife..as for clickbait well thats just smart advertising :)

This seems to be a good tool to chip large sticks and any stray cats.. but my riding lawn mower bags up all my shredded leaves. Plus it has a cup holder :) great video and thanks for sharing! Thumbs up!!

I have the same motor on my snowblower and when it didn't start on the first pull I said to myself, 'it's not on'. It's a Honda clone that I lovingly refer to as the 'ol Chonda'

PS never stick your hand in there running or not

im here for the clickbait. And the shredder. Im NOT here to see a humanget shredded though whichis what happens when you put your own body parts in.

This was fun but the rock garden video is still the best!

Thanks for the video, make me want to go buy one.

need your ear covered to!!!

It is unfortunate that we have to be so PC these days, but I going to say it anyways! That young lady is smoking hot! And the only reason any man wouldn't agree is because he is afraid of his own wife!...lol

Love the machine and the trophy wife is a wonderful bonus. Lol

That’s a scary little chipper; keep hair bundled tightly to your head and take off rings, bracelets and such!

Took you all day to shred a half bag of leaves? I guess you'll be returning the useless machine?

lol nice click bait

Wow she did that and held onto her beer. Lol.

Yes SC.. I do have the bell "clicked baited" for all of your notifications..

Feeding those branches, she has great form.

Did you buy the bag or did it come with it?

Great job, Syd sure man/GIRL handled that MO SHEEN, she has got some muscles :)

Now that it’s been 4 years, any updates?

I bet you're popular with the neighbours when you start the chipper up :)

kudos to you for locking that one down!

I like it putting her to work. Philadelphia PA

Awesome wood chipper.

The best thing was she didn’t spill the beer lol

Don’t be scared to put the white claw down! Haha love it

I subscribed last week

ours was great best thing for clearing brush i ever used... i cleared a 1000 feet by 50 feet wide bunch of dead brush... i love ours..

I'm actually looking for a machine to chip, grind, or shred plastic bottles (check out hdpe molding videos to see why), but you would not believe how hard it is to find stuff for that. Do you think this machine would fit what I'm looking for?

Hate this chipper but love your farm and family. Thanks for the video.

Looks a lot like my 5yr old Snapper. Shredded leaves take up less room in the compost piles. Don't overload the hopper and keep a stick handy to poke because twigs can block the chute. Once you get the hang of it things go quickly. As you can see the pull handle is awkward. A little ingenuity can solve that. Oh yeah, I wear a forestry helmet with hearing protection and face shield, that dude can spit out chips and such at velocity.

Looks fun

On my wood chiper I replaced the pull rope handle with a snowblower on so all your fingers are together and is easier if and when it kicks back and also won't break in half.. I have a snapper wood chipper with a 13hp motor.. this harbor freight unit looks almost like mine but with a plastic catcher...

so it looks like that black thing was blocking the the top feeder? once removed it seemed to work better..

You guys are a hoot!

OMG you guys are hilarious. Luv you 🥰
