AS SEEN ON TV the DR chipper 375 can only handle perfectly straight manicured lumber.
Seriously the marketing video is offensive: https://youtu.be/8RXEFMmaeWA
He might as well be feeding 2x2s off the rack at home depot.

I have the next model up (400 Pro) so mine will likely accept larger diameter branches. But with that said one needs to learn the machine’s limits in terms of both diameter and wetness.
Before I chip up a pile of branches I’ll go through with a swede saw and lop off any parts that are too big. That’ll let me breeze through the pile without fighting the machine too much. Also cut apart any wide crotches that won’t feed through on their own.
Uhhhhh…does your wood chipper always get wet when you stick your wood in its hole?
Well you need to turn it on first
I would think the point of these machines is to save me the labor of trimming them before hand.
That’s not how wood chippers work. Not even the ones in the million+ € range.
Idk I was just watching the guy trim the tree down the block and was just throwing the whole branches into them. 🤷
You can throw whole branches in them, but not even whole-tree chippers chip every tree the way it came down. You’re going to have to buck the logs sometimes. It’s about using the right tool in the right way for the right job. Chipping brush by hand-feeding a tiny chipper like is always going to suck.
Yea, I was speaking of the branches. Not logs.
