Champion (3") 338cc Chipper Shredder

Ordering easy. Shipped on time. Starts first pull EVERY time. Large, tough motor. Runs very smoothly. Great performance. Love it. I chose this over the Cub Cadet.

Easy assembly . Very well made . Strong motor . Will work nicely keeping my woods free of fallen branches and other debris. Ear protection is a must because it is very loud !

My husband loves his new toy!!!!

Just received and put together the Chipper/Shredder. The shipping was faster than expected, and the machine went together easily. As previously noted, the oil fill location is a bit of a pain, but the provided funnel helped get the oil into the engine.

Once there was oil in the engine, and before adding fuel, cranked the engine a few times to distribute the oil. Checked the oil again and added to the recommended level. Added fuel, and, expecting it to take a couple of pulls to get fuel to the engine, gave it a half-hearted pull. The engine fired up and ran like a champ.

Have only ran it for 30 minutes so far. I am following the recommendation during the first five hours of operation by varying the speed.

Will update this review after I've used the Chipper/Shredder for a while.

This machine is awesome! Arrived faster than expected, and was created very well. I have had it for about a month now and it is nearly broke in. Starts first pull nearly every time. Would be even better if it had a longer handle to move it around with, as the feed shoot is a little close when moving it. Like I said great but not perfect, that would be hard for anything. This is my new favorite yard toll, I love it!

I have been impressed from the beginning. The ordering process was fast and simple. The delivery, aside from being free, was fast, and delivery was within the time frame promised. We were not able to be home at the time of delivery and a simple note taped to our front door with delivery instruction was followed by the delivery person.

The packaging was compact and sturdy. There were no issues of damage during shipment. Once unpacked, the minimal assembly was easy, with clear instructions provided. All fasteners were of high quality and filled the fuel tank as instructed.

Once assembled, we filled the crankcase with the recommended type, and amount of oil. We performed the pre operational checks as outlined, turned the ignition switch to "on", set the choke and throttle as instructed and turned the fuel valve on. The unit started on the first pull, and the unit ran as anticipated.. We shut down the unit, checked the oil level and decided to put it to the test.

I had recently trimmed many branches from cedar and maple trees at the rear of our property. We placed the unit in a convenient area and began chipping. The chipper easily swallowed cedar branches up to the 3 inch capacity. Smaller twigs and branches were easily disposed into the top chute.

The harder maple branches were not so easily swallowed by the machine. It seems that a maximum of 2 inch diameter no longer than about 6 feet in length can be fed into the machine without jamming or stalling.

I am quite pleased with the performance of the unit. I f I could offer one suggestion, a small tow hitch to fit the unit onto the back of a typical riding lawn mower would be a welcome addition, as the unit is quite heavy and hard to maneuver across grass, hilly terrain, and soft ground.
