BigBear Power BBC52 Tornadic Wood Chipper 5" 15 HP Gas Powered Commercial Self Feeding Electric Start New

This thing is a beast. Very good chipper shredder. Goes through wood very quickly and efficiently

Chews up the soft wood like a champ, oak is ok but 2 inch diameter pieces only. Overall a good purchase so far, only have about an hour on the meter so far.

Love the unit but think that there should be some kind of tension pulley system on the belts that power to chipper drum. Also, should include a couple extra replacement belts. It’s very easy to over feed hard wood especially larger pieces and stall out the chipper drum. Once the user is familiar with its limitations, on feed speed, the feed rate will become less problematic. The 15hp motor double pulley will slip on the belts resulting in burning the belts. I shut it down fairly quickly after sticking the chipper, but did burn some of the belt rubber.

Compliments to everyone who designed and built it. Took me a couple hours on my own to assemble it. Filled with oil and it made minc-meat out of all the limbs i had accumulated over the winter months. I now have roughly 10 cu yards of mulch which I spread along a fence row. Only thing wrong was a broken base plate for the battery to attach too. I secured it a different way. Regardless, the machine is very impressive. Again, thanks to all for the nice work.

I didn’t purchase from this seller but have had it for a year now. I have 3 acres that’s heavily wooded. We just had a 4 day ice storm in Northern Mi that dropped several trees and branches. I try to keep the size 4” max and does the job

Took a couple of hours to assemble, but a great addition to my yard
equipment (all 2 acres of it). Works great, and the self feeding is magic, through the end of long branches in and just stand back.
