Anyone have a DK2 chipper? They advertise some units with a cyclonic chipper, others are a disk chipper. I know the concept behind the disk chipper, but what is a cyclonic chipper?
I want to chip brush/limbs no bigger than 4", most much smaller. Some green material, some dry.

Just found a you tube video from DK2. They call it a kinetic chipper. Must have heard cyclonic somewhere else. The disk system looks better to me.

If you want to chip 4" branches you will want a chipper with a throat that's larger than 4". Otherwise anything that's not straight or has twigs off it will jam.

You can get an 8" power feed PTO chipper for much less than the DK2 5". And it'll have the HP that your tractor's PTO can deliver which is a lot more than a 14hp Kohler.

Both WoodMaxx and Woodland Mills make good units that are designed in North America and made in China. Woodmaxx has some US made models too.

Thanks. I have seen them. There is a MacKesson (spelling?) made in the US also.
