Choosing the Best Pneumatic Wood Chipper – 5 Things to Consider!

Choosing the Best Pneumatic Wood Chipper – 5 Things to Consider!

1. Easy to move

There are many gas-powered wood chipper models on the market. You want to buy one that is easy to move around your home and garden. You should consider selecting one based on your preferences, including trailer hitch requirements and source vehicle features.

2. Energy source

An internal engine, which may be an electric motor or a fossil fuel engine, powers the machine. If you have to clean up your garden, invest in a gas-guzzling chipper. Typically, reputable manufacturers such as Briggs & Stratton will supply the engines, so make sure your power source comes from a reputable brand. For farmer/industrial use, tractor-driven machines are also suitable.

3. Weight and capacity

The capacity and weight of the chipper you buy depends on the size of the trees you want to use it on. Home wood chippers typically have capacities of 2.5 inches and larger. Check the running HP (horsepower) to make sure you have enough power to get the job done efficiently. We recommend taking note of the average diameter of the branches placed in the chute.

4. Hopper size

Your chipper should have the appropriate size hopper, depending on your area. This means you need to consider the overall size when choosing a model. For those of you who don't know, the hopper (also called the feed chute) is the part that loads all the materials that are to be shredded.

5. Engine

Consider buying in a good engine wood chipper that can effectively treat your area and is known for a lifetime of durable workmanship. It's not worth saving a few bucks on the front end just to replace it later.
