C40 Wood Chipper 4" inch Max Diameter Capacity 9 HP 274cc Gas Powered Engine Heavy Duty Shredder Mulcher

Assembly is straight forward. Easy to move from garage to yard. Always run on full throttle or the leaves will clog. This would the perfect chipper if I had an electric start. If you pull hard on the cord the machine moves with you. The cord pull cycle is too long. It should be the same pull cycle as a chain saw or leaf blower. At first I thought it was me as I am getter older..... I asked my younger neighbor to give it try. He had the same observation. It does start and runs great. This machine is in price and quality range with similar machines. I bought it because of its streamline design. Once again I need an electric starter for this machine.

Multiple aluminum bolts and washers are either stripped, sheared, or just didn’t have the correct placement to mate up. I spent over two hours on assembly and eventually gave up as some of the integral bolts and pieces required for this to function are not accessible to be tightened or they are already stripped out. I’d love to give this a higher review, but I’m not even able to get past step four of general assembly because the engineering behind this is not sound! I will likely spend a half day trying to disassemble and re-engineer this just to make it work, when it should’ve been ready to do so out of the box! *UPDATE: I’ve returned this item after numerous messages from manufacturer, none of which were to refund or make this right. Instead, they offered me a new blade or new bolts to suffice, which don’t actually fix the issue! The item has been picked up and taken back by Amazon, yet no information, status, etc. If I don’t receive the refund in a few days, I will be seeking legal remedy, as even Amazon didn’t seem to understand that the item was defective and unsafe, NOT that I had received two and wanted to return it! Apparently, this manufacturer has a good deal with Amazon and can’t be held accountable!

I received this a few weeks ago. Set up was pretty easy, and the first 3 days using was great. This is a beast. It takes anything less than 2 1/2 inches without any effort. Larger branches you should feed in slowly so as not to stall the engine. I have a woods on my property, and a large black cheery tree came down, taking several others with it, so a lot of branches to mulch. The third day i was running it I heard a noise and a metal part flew out of the chute. I shut it down and wrote to the company with a picture of the broken part. After a couple days of back and forth (12 hour lag because of the time difference) they wrote back and said their tech team had identified a flaw in the design, and would send me a redesigned replacement part. They also noticed that my blades looked worn, so they would send a replacement set for my trouble. The parts arrived within 1 week via Fed Ex. I reassembled the machine but didn't initially replace the blades. It ran well but didn't suck in the branches as it initially had, so I went ahead and replaced the blades, and voila! It is again a beast. I have to say the customer service for this issue was simply outstanding. Efcut owned the issue and made it right faster than I could have hoped for.

Works very well, but I find it hard to start. Pull cord seems too short. It feels like much wasted motion when I pull. Once running, this is a great chipper though.

Wow, this is my first experience with a wood chipper, and it has exceeded my expectations. It easily eats three and 4 inch branches without hesitation. It’s a little bit difficult to start as it takes a little extra muscle because of the larger engine. Assembly was easy and it looks to be very well built. I like the fact that it’s easy to move around and perfectly balanced. However, I wish it had pneumatic tires because for me it was a little difficult trying to push it through Florida sand. Overall, I give it a five star, this thing is amazing for the price.

I've just assembled the chipper, with some difficulty. The "assembly instructions" are virtually useless. Most people can figure it out. What most people won't necessarily be able to do is to attach the handle. The mounting holes in the hopper sheet metal don't line up with the holes in the handle. I had to spend a considerable amount of time making the holes bigger by cutting metal to allow the attachment screws to pass through all the holes. That is a result of poor design, the sheet metal that the handle rest between is simply not correctly sized to fit the handle tubing and the holes are slotted in the wrong direction to accommodate even a low-precision assembly. Whether is work well and is durable I cannot say but there really isn't any excuse for the assembly situation. The real issue will be with the durability of the motor. That is a purchased item by the chipper manufacturer and has it's own manual so there isn't necessarily any design quality carryover from the main component.

The C40 model with the 9 horse power engine and large fly wheel is the option to choose it is more than worth the money. Assembly was simple and instructions with pictures made it easy. It started on the second pull. I ran if for 30 minutes to break it in and the checked for leaks and fluid levels. It is well balanced and easy to move around.

Blew apart. We bought this is 2024 and when we first used it it made a clunking noise, it was over the 30 days, we tried to contact the company, u couldn't talk to a human, only through the website, they sent us a part that was not the problem, yesterday it blew apart, if my husband was standing a few inches to the right he would have been hit in the belly, we haven't used it very much to break apart like this, and it was stored inside under tarps, so it wasn't like we didn't take care of it

Wow my sister has 3 inch chipper. I borrowed it and I had a hard time getting stuff to go in the hole was so small. Like 3 1/4 square hole that you try to put 3 inch into but if anything sticking out its not going. I was tired after 10 mins from ramming and jamming. This beast has at least a 6 inch hole so stuff goes in way easier and it pulls it in most of the time by its self. Big ones you have to hold back. But a 2 or 2 1/2 inch branch doesn't even slow the motor. Now it is loud you most definitely need hearing protection. I have not had anything jump back out and smack me in face but I will wear the shield anyway. Very easy assembly. Doesn't start worth a poo I am hoping it is because new and breaking in but backfires when trying to start. I have to pull cord 3x fast have it not stop spinning between pulls. UPDATE : I was right it is a great machine. Cleared it all in no time. Hearing is a little worse now though. Hearing protection is definitely required. And not noise canceling earbuds. Actual muffs or 33dlb I used 28 and my ears have been ringing for 2 days . Also leather gloves is handy as machine will pull branch out of your hand sometimes and some bark is ruff especially dog wood.

Trabajó solo un dia y se daño

Was easy to assemble, good size but haven’t used yet

Working great had to trim a willow tree and made short work of the branches. The instructions were rather poor, but with the help of you tube got it together. Need to figure out way to make a longer handle it's difficult to move around.

Backfires every time I have started it but it does start. I'm hoping it's just breaking in. Handles three inch pine limbs with ease.
