Troy bilt chipper,
April 6, 2009
By Swedelar
from Sequim, WA
"The Troy-bilt chipper is a very good machine to chip your branches, brush and wood trash. It makes a mulch from your tree and shrub trimmings that can be used on gardens and flower beds."

Well engineered and safety concious,
February 20, 2009
By urbanhomesteader
from Central Texas
"I'm approaching 100 hours on briers, elm, hawthorne (ouch!!) hackberry, grape vines and leaves. Some tips: Be sure to have loppers handy because the feeder won't let crooked stuff go down too well. Don't dump too much into the leaf hopper at once, steady as she goes and you'll get it done fast.
I always find a forked stick, about 3 or 4 feet long, to help push briers and small branches down the hopper.
don't kill the engine while stuff is still in the hopper. You may not be able to pull the rope to crank it again and then you'll have to take the hopper off.
If you run it without the bag be ready for clouds of debris, this thing has a powerful blower.

This machine seems to handle everything it is designed for and is plenty sturdy for the job. Excellent value."

Excellent chipper,
August 18, 2008
By JohnW
from Douglasville, GA
"For the homeowner with lots of brush and trees to remove, this is the machine that will send the brush piles to the mulch pile. The bagger is just the right size to fill and then empty by one person. The only thing I would like to see is a high discharge shute to empty into a cart or pickup bed."

Chipper/Shredder,
August 18, 2008
By WRMERC
from NC
"Excellent piece of equipment. Very rugged and dependable. Starts on first pull although it takes quite a bit of strength. My only complaint would be that due to it's horsepower and compression, I feel it needs an electric starter. At least as an option if not standard."

goodbye, brush piles!,
August 14, 2008
By coltonb
from columbia county, NY
"after using this machine for about 20 hours and chipping everything in sight - from huge piles of apple pruning, to dried willow brush, to 3" maple saplings - i'm impressed. it will power through whatever you can get in it.
that's the one caveat, though. if you've got lots of crooked branches (like my apple prunings, or the previous reviewer's pinon) you need to prep them to fit in the chute by chopping into straight-ish sections. that's the only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars. well, that and now it seems everywhere i look i see something that needs clearing / pruning, if only for an excuse to fire up the chipper again..."

portable unit,
August 11, 2008
By TKreviewer
from Colorado
"I bought it because I can tow it around the property.
We had lots of pinon trees damaged last winter and wanted to chip the broken branches. The flails work well on leaves but the pinon branches must be cut into very small pieces lest they get caught in the throat of the chipper.
The knife chipper portion works well on small branches but again the pinon is too crooked to just slip in and get chipped.
I found the unit difficult to start until I tried various combinations of choke. Part of this is just getting it broken in and part is the high altitude.
I'm sure it would work fine for normal fall leaves but the unit is a bit too small for our application. So I have to shred the branches first with a chain saw then chip the smaller pieces.
The bag attachment is a little inconvenient to install and remove but it is convenient for transporting the mulch.
Always wear safety glasses and gloves. the flail portion as mentioned in the instruction will spit pieces back up the chute."

Troybuilt shredder/chipper,
January 21, 2008
By dilbert
from Troutville Va.
"I purchased this Troybuilt chipper/shredder to mulch the leaves and branches from my trees. The first time I used it, I shredded up a bale of hay. There was an unnoticed rock in the bale and it busted a blade. I called for service and they offered for me to send it to a dealer for service under warranty. I requested that they just send me the blade and I would fix it myself. They did that with no problem. That was three years ago and since then I have chewed up everything around here with no problems and its still going strong. It is not indestructable, you have to use some common sense but the machine is tough, performs well within its limitations and one of my most valued posessions. I mulch up acres of leaves and limbs, use that in my chicken house for litter, then in 6 months clean it out, compost it and spread it on the garden. None of which could be done without the Troybuilt shredder. It is easly towed behind my tractor and wagon. It has ALWAYS started on the first pull. Of course I take care of it, change oil, keep it in the barn and clean and check it every season. Nothing will serve you if you don't service it."

Woodchipper review,
October 30, 2007
By doglover
from wingate nc
"Overall I am satisfied with the chipper. The power is good for most branches that we have but I would point out that even though it is rated up to 3 inch diameter that is based on a straight branch. If a branch is curved it will not fit down the chute. The machine starts easy and is to simple to maintain. I would have liked it more if you didn't have to use the collection bag but rather have a way of sending the chips right into a cart. I like the fact that it can be towed and for a fairly big machine it is easily moved even without towing it. I also felt comfortable buying a Troybilt product knowing that they stand behind their products."
