I used it for the first time yesterday and it did a pretty good job for the most part. Think, hard stuff chops up a lot better than thin flimsy stuff which mostly just flies around the blade and gets spit out. When I was done I ran my chips back through the top Hopper two times and got most of it to a uniform chop. The only thing I don't like about it are the rubber slots on the front of the feed tube that make it very difficult to push thin stuff or foliage through. I had to push a lot of it through with my fingers and by the end of the session my fingers were raw and sore from the thick rubber grabbing them. I have yet to do any leaves with it so I don't know how it's going to perform for that.
The lift is not set up and running as of right now but the communication with Bilt Hard was A+! Shipping was very fast and the package arrived very well packed A+++++
