C30 LITE Wood Chipper Shredder Mulcher Heavy Duty 7 HP 212cc Gas Powered 3 Inch Max Capacity 1-Year Warranty After Product Registration

I was a little hesitant to buy a machine like this on Amazon, but I was absolutely shocked by the overall quality of this product. I have been using it non stop since it arrived. I was incredibly impressed by the packaging alone; there wasn't a single scratch on anything. The instructions were absolutely fool proof; they separate all the hardware into separate bags and label them according to the step numbers. I had it put together filled with oil and gas and chipping wood within 25 minutes. The chipper definitely chips 3 inch diameter branches or trees, but it's important to note that anything over 2 inches should be fed in little by little as to not overload the motor and stall out. I just keep both hands on the tree or limb and feed a little in and pull back, then again and again until the diameter has reduced to below 2 inches, then the machine handles it without any problems. The chips come out pretty fine and have a huge variety of uses. Would absolutely recommend this chipper.

Assemblage avec instructions super facile, bien détaillées. Model à deux couteaux qui assure un déchiquetage très fin. Le tuyau d'éjection surélevé permet de diriger le matériel vers un baril pour la récupération. Le petit moteur de 7 hp démarre bien et suffit emplement à la tâche. Si vos branches sont trop grosses pour cet appareil, elles devraient aller au bois de chauffage! Très satisfait, merci.

J’ai été surprise dès la réception. Je ne m’attendais pas à grand. Lorsque j’ai ouvert la boîte, c’était en pièce détachées. Mais le livret a de belles images en couleur et s’est monté très facilement. Mettons que ce n’est pas mon métier. Je l’ai monté avec mon enfant de 7 ans. Nous l’avons fait marcher à plusieurs reprises et lorsque tu suis bien les instructions, c’est surprenant de voir à quel point ça fonctionne bien. Starté du premier coup et nous avons eu plusieurs heures de plaisir à déchiqueter en famille. Beaucoup de copeaux pour beaucoup de projets

Solide et compact et fait des petits copeaux

Engine is strong and easy to start. Instructions are vague and it takes some time to learn how to replace the blades for the first time. Yes the thin side does open to access the back side of the blades. Instructions are not clear.The first replacement, the screws are torqued down pretty tight. Will take some extra effort. Instructions require you to own a torque wrench for the reinstallation of the blades.Once you purchase the chipper the guide will tell you a new blade set will only last 1 - 3 hours of use. Which is about accurate.I have been able to sharpen the existing blades, unfortunately haven’t figured out the right grinding angle to make them as sharp when bought new.Overall it does the job well. Just allow additional time in project estimation for blade replacement.

It makes chips out of small branches etc surprisingly quickly. It is rated for up to a 3 inch size branch but it struggles with anything over about 2 inches. I'm definitely glad I bought it though.

I've run my new chipper three times now, each time for probably 90 minutes or so. What a beast. I'm handy around the house, but I'm not an engine expert, not by any means, so I was a bit apprehensive. But I have lots of branches to get rid of, and more to come, so this is really what I needed. After some positive YouTube reviews, I pulled the trigger. So far, so good!Fairly easy to assemble, well packaged. Comes in two boxes, one more of a wooden crate. Bolts, etc., marked for each step. No problem there. Wrenches provided, I used them along with my socket set. Directions not bad. Air filter directions a bit fuzzy, but look at the pictures, it falls into place. After filling it with oil and gas, I cranked it up. Like other reviewers have said, starts on first or second pull.It takes a little more work than I had expected to get things down the chute, you have to kind of help odd shaped things along. If you have 2-2.5 inch branches, no matter how long, it eats those for breakfast. I keep a larger branch aside, probably 3 or 4 inches, that I use as a prod-poker to help get brush and branches into the blades. Haven't had a jam yet, that I'm glad for. You can't help but reach into the chute at times, but the blades are pretty far down there, I haven't felt like I was in any danger of losing a finger or anything. BUT-stuff will come shooting out from time to time, and it is LOUD (I mean REALLY loud), eye and ear protection are a must.Very manageable size and weight, I can roll it down my steep driveway while also carrying a rake or a trash can. One of the handles broke on the foldable bin they include the first time I used it, but that's kind of a throw-in anyway. I bought a 20 gallon trash can at HD that fits perfectly under the chute.I really can't think of a downside, unless it suddenly stops running or something. Warranty seems good, new blades are available online, plus they give you a second set with purchase anyway. Doesn't look like I'll be buying mulch for a while.I had some interaction with customer service, answered my questions promptly, no problems there. Shipped from Irwindale, Ca., so at least there is some U.S. presenceDo your research of course, but my experience has been good. Very happy with this well built machine, really gets the job done.UPDATE 5/6/2021: Still happy with machine, only problem I've had is with sharpening blades. I must be bad at it, because don't work very well at all after I sharpen them. I may try to have them professionally done next time. They do seem to run out of blades online a lot lately...Update 9/1/2021: I've been using this a lot lately, clearing out trees and brush. My latest set of blades have lasted a very long time, happy with that. I have had a few jams (machine stops instantly), but they clear out pretty easily once you take off the covers. Takes 20-30 minutes. I also have started putting fresh cut branches down the chute, leaves and all. Still works great. Better if dried, but can't always wait. Feel I've gotten my money's worth and more.2/3/2022-With the cold weather, I changed the oil, blew out the air filter and stored the chipper in the shed. We had a somewhat warm day this week, thought I'd get rid of a pile of sticks and branches I've been saving for spring. Started first pull! Last time I changed the blades, some of the bolts rounded off when I used my impact driver. Had to invest in a stripped bolt remover set from Lowes, problem easily solved. You'll end up changing out all the nuts and bolts that go along with the blades from time to time. Efcut Customer service sent me a link to Amazon item for correct size, good to have extras.

When I got a hold of this item, I was in need of an inexpensive machine to catch up on shrubs that had over grown on my property. I find this issue a recurring problem year after year. To be honest, I wasn't entirely sure if this would get the job done due to its small size. I went ahead and took a chance and when it arrived, the size was slightly smaller than I had anticipated. Once I removed all the parts from the box and laid them out, the assembly was surprisingly simple. I didn't need to refer to the instructions very much. Don't get me wrong, this may differ according to your mechanical ability. The tools needed are supplied, as are some of the safety equipment and extra blades. Once the machine was assembled, I added oil, fuel, and it started right up. Seeing how it was the fist time it was started, I allowed it to run for a little while to see if there where any issues. The 7 HP engine ran beautifully.On the drum, there are two windows. One is for replacing the blades. There are four bolts holding it in place and once removed, simply rotating the wheel until the blade is aligned, it is very easy to change the blade if needed. The second window is located in the rear with a slide cover allowing you to remove any debris that may need to be removed. I found this to be a great addition to the unit not only for possible jams, but to allow for cleaning before storage.The handle is one of the reasons I chose this machine. I was looking at some of the others and I did not like the way the others looked. They did not seem to look as comfortable. If I am going to have to move the machine around my yard, I want it to move easily and comfortably. It also seems to be at a good angle to allow the unit to be "dollied" around the property. It definitely is at a good angle.The next day, I took it out to the property and began to chop and slash the overgrown brush. This took most of the day and I would like to think I gave the small machine quite a workout for its first time out. I was very impressed with how it kept up with as much as I was feeding it. The manual specifies it will accommodate up to 3-inch debris. While the largest I put through it was around 2 inches, I had no issues at all. It seemed to handle this with ease. I also had an older brush pile in my yard that had been there for a few years. I figured it was time to get rid of it as well. This wood was well aged and seeing how I live in a desert environment, it was dense material. This gave me a little worry because I was not sure if the machine could handle such hard wood like Manzanita, and aged Hackberry. I fed it through and it chipped it up with no issues. At one point, I did get a little overzealous and feed some material in a little too fast. It bogged the machine a little; however, I slowed down and allowed it to catch up. It had no problems handling the dry dense material.The mulches that are produced by the machine are said to be "Nutrient rich mulches and not just chips and shreds" I would have to agree with this. The cutting blades do an excellent job on the material that is fed through. The unit comes with a collapsible bucket to catch the mulch to make it easy to transport to where ever you want it. I found this to be a nice addition and much better than a tarp on the ground or other means. For the price of the machine and for what it does I am very extremely happy with the overall performance.I have to give this machine a five star review. I personally feel that it did the job that I needed it to do and it did it very well. I think this tool will last and will be of service to me for some time.
