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.
