Great chipper for medium agricultural use
The chipper is a great unit and does an excellent job of chipping. I Would not chip wood >5in vs the 6 in specified because of kickback from the unit. Does great a throwing the chips at a good distance, but be careful and wear ear and eye protection at all times.
When the directional shoot is not all the way up it I found it tends to get clogged and shots shards out between the shoot and guiding mechanism.
Biggest issue I had was that the manual to put the unit together was not very complete and could be better written with more illustrations and instructions. The wheels, for what ever reason, had an issue with the castle nut and cotter pin. I found them difficult to get together.

Chews through limbs and branches
Good, if not Great machine, chews through 3" - 4" and less than green eucalyptus tree limbs. chips / mulch is nicely sized ground cover. It can chip larger, but dogs the machine.
What I like
four wheels, I can roll it around to place the chips
self feed pulls in < 3.5 "limbs with cross branches nicely
electric start
What I don't like
direct drive - No clutch between motor and chipper, the
electric starter must also turn the chipper drum. If motor has
difficulty starting there is a significant load on the little
starter and battery
knifes I have 3 +- hours on the machine the knifes show
some wear, they are reversible. keeping them REALLY
sharp is important to good operation

Not as good as I was hopping for.
Big, powerful machine with large inlet. Blades dull fast, especially on oak. Mounting holes in blades not centered, so one blade is reversible, the other one hits the anvil when it reversed. Cannot till if its the blade or if the drum holes are not drilled in the correct locations, or both. Quality control doesn't seem as good as it should be for the price. Left messages with customer service, but never heard back. This machine would probably be awesome on softer woods, but with hard woods such as oak, it is limiting on larger (4"+) pieces.

Quality control not the best
Instruction manual is poor. If your are not mechanically inclined assembly will be challenging. Machine had lots of corrosion in the crate. Chipper knives also came loose after a few hours use and started to eat the side of the housing. DK didnt offer to do anything when contacted. Overall its s good machine, but it has typical inexpensive imported quality. Dont buy if you are not prepared to fix all their quality control issues.

It's loud, wear ear protection.
Used it 3 times and so far it's great. Absolutely love the key start! Chews up everything I put into it. It's rated for 6 inch limbs but it bogs down and almost kills it. Max size I feed is 4 inches and it seems to do fine. I figure anything over 4 inches is firewood anyway. I would like to see a better way of channeling the chip shoot, it sprays a wide swath. I have almost 2 acres of forrest, we are clearing out dead limbs and lower limbs. So we will see how it stands up to this.

This thing is a beast!
I was skeptical about paying so much money on a chipper. More so that it is made in China. So far, at the time of this review, I am very impressed at how well made this chipper is. I have put it through its paces, and it takes anything I throw at it. It does, chip pieces up to 6" in diameter. Softwood like pine is no problem, harder wood like oak takes a little time, but it will do the job. Assembly was easy, I used a floor jack to help support sections that would have needed two people. The blades are double sided, and easy to change.

Check unit for missing, damaged parts.
Runs great and it eats almost everything! A label needs to be added on the engine when it won't start to check the safety switch on the chipper that it's set to off so the engine will start. Chipper arrived damaged and missing parts when the crate was opened. The discharge chute bottom section bolting flange on one corner was bent completely over with the bolt still attached. That section will have to be completely replaced. Obvious that the chipper was either dropped on its side before it was packed or a badly damaged assembly was installed during assembly. Also, one front frame nut and washer and one valve stem cap was missing. Other than the noted problems and the label suggestion its a real beast!

Chips a flyin'
This thing is awesome. I have put green branches up to about 5" in diameter through this. Lost my 2x4 push stick in it the other day. It chopped it up no problem. My only problem seems to be the battery. We purchased the optional key start and battery. I think I ran it down too low when I first started it. I didn't realize the automatic safety was pressed. I just kept spinning the thing until the battery ran down. The only other issue I had is the directions are not that great. If you're reasonably handy you'll figure it out. Other than that (which is primarily user error), the thing is awesome.
