I currently have an Agriease 4" gravity feed chipper which is a Chinese knock off of the Wallenstein. I've had it for around 10 years and it has chipped a lot of small stuff, which is all I chip. Normally nothing bigger than 2" to 3" but mostly green tree branches and green tree tops. It works OK but lately it seems to struggle pulling in the smaller branches and short pieces. So I am considering getting the WC68 because of the hydraulic drive. I've watched a ton of videos but they mostly show people chipping dry stuff or large stuff. The few I've seen that show it chipping green branches have leaves and the few I've seen showing green evergreen branches being chipped don't show very much and some show the brand starting but not finishing (maybe because it was having problems). Pretty much everything I chip is green cedar, pine and fir branches. I've read a few complaints about the chipper getting jammed when chipping lots of small green material and since that is the main function I need, I am concerned that this is not going to be much better than what I have now.
I use the chips for compost and usually end up taking the chips from the chipper, spreading them out and running over therm with the brush hog to get a finer material.
Anyone have experience with chipping lots of small green evergreen branches, using the WC68? They are currently on sale with free shipping and that got my attention.
All comments welcome regarding this chipper. I am not considering at any other chippers. It's either this one or I stay with what I have. Anything from the US is way too expensive, considering our Canadian dollar isn't worth anything these days.
