POWER FOR SERIOUS PROPERTY WORK

When heavy brush, thick branches, and recurring cleanup demand more than a basic chipper, the BILT HARD 6-Inch Gas Wood Chipper delivers the power and durability needed for serious property work. Its 15HP 420cc gas engine, heavy-duty steel construction, and operator-focused safety features make it well suited for farms, acreage, storm cleanup, and demanding landscaping projects.

6-INCH DRUM CHIPPING CAPACITY

The electric and recoil start system provides dependable starting options in the field. A heavy-duty drum cutting system with reversible blades processes clean woody branches up to 6 inches in diameter, reducing bulky limbs into manageable chips for trails, garden beds, composting, or easier disposal.

EASIER ACCESS FOR MAINTENANCE

Routine maintenance is designed to be straightforward. The infeed and discharge chutes open for blade inspection, cleaning, and servicing, while the 360° rotating discharge chute lets you direct chips toward a trailer, pile, or selected ground area.

BUILT FOR RECURRING CLEANUP

Designed for farms, acreage owners, landscapers, and serious property maintenance, this chipper is built for repeated brush-clearing work. For smoother feeding, trim large forks and tangled side branches before use, and keep rocks, metal, soil, vines, and wet leaves out of the cutting system.

A great wood chipper

I haven’t used the wood chipper yet, but the delivery was fast. The quality of the materials and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. The instructions are clear. Highly recommended

Works well

worked well for me. I was able to remove a large brush pile in one tank of gas (~5 hours of running). **The chipper was shipped damaged but the seller was very easy to work with and come to a fair resoulution.

highly recommended for small brush and tree removal projects.

Perfect Chipper for a little farm!

This chipper looks small but it is quite powerful. On our small farm, we cut larger branches for firewood and anything about 2 inches or smaller goes through the chipper. We put branches, sunflower stalks, vines, etc in there and it works through them nicely. If the wood is really green it sometimes struggles so make sure to dry it beforehand, if possible. The consistency of the wood chips is pretty fine. Also, make sure to periodically tighten the nuts/bolts as recommended in the manual, as they will and do rattle loose after some use. That being said, we use our chipper pretty hard to process a lot of material from the farm and it does a great job.

Size, power, and price command attention here

Light can be added at low cost. Sticker suggests safety considerations when using. Works as expected.

Perfect for small jobs in the yard

This chipper is very easy to assemble and the directions are very clear. The pictures will show you how small the chips are once the branches and wood pieces are put through the chipper. The only thing that I would advise is wearing heavy duty gloves and long sleeves while using to minimize injury. We love having the chipper, however we also are trying to chip all the dead wood and fallen branches across 3 acres so it does take quite a bit of time.

Used it yesterday for the first time

Used it yesterday for the first time. Starts easily, got a lot of my brush pile cleared. Thought it would use a lot of gas but it didn’t seem to. Assembly was ok, except there were a couple of places I could not get my ratchet into. Pleased so far, it fits my needs and the price was right.

Chipper assembly proceeded easily and without confusion

Chipper assembly proceeded easily and without confusion. Assembly diagrams were easy to follow for anyone mechanically inclined. After adding all fluids, the chipper started right up and robustly handled everything I threw at it up to the larger 4-5" diameter branches I had. I typically burn anything larger, so this is a very adequate machine for my purposes. It doesn't shred leaves - they mostly pass through the cutter. So if you want a pile of clean chipped mulch it's best that the branches you feed it are mostly bare. After about 5-6 hours of use so far, I am well pleased with this product.

Do not underestimate the power of this machine! Attempted to stabile a branch as it was being

Do not underestimate the power of this machine! Attempted to stabile a branch as it was being feed into the chute and it smacked my arm off the rim. Sustained an ulnar fracture. See Orthopedics tomorrow. Praying I don’t need surgery.

Ate Through My Branch Pile

I fed it a mix of smaller limbs and a few heavier branches. It kept a steady pace and left me with a much smaller pile.

The asy was not to bad

The asy was not to bad. My wife helped. Everything was there. Maybe 3 hrs to ask. I put oil an gas using it. Suggest you come up with a better way to put oil in. A tube coming up the side with a dip stick would be better. Also putting gas in is not friendly. The fill spout is very high. Need to redesign so it is lower. To go lower you would need a fuel pump. Or lower the motor and the mounting. we finally did use it. We had a large pile to chip. Some pcs about 6 inches. It did a very good job and we love it. This fall when it cools down we will be using it alot more. Thank you

Good Machine, Big Setup

The electric start was nice and the chip pile was easier to manage than I expected. I should've done this before the brush got out of hand. Just know that delivery-day setup isn't a quick one-person project. Give yourself some room and get help.

Handy After Pruning the Orchard

We had branches scattered across a small orchard after pruning. Moving the chipper closer to each area saved a lot of dragging, and I could aim the chute where I wanted the chips.

Definitely Not a Little Yard Chipper

This machine has some weight to it and feels built for real cleanup work. The chute adjustment is useful, and I like having the stop controls close by. Assembly took us a while, mostly because the parts are heavy, so having a second person helped.

For the price

For the price, this thing is amazing. I am giving it 5 stars for ease of start, running performance, price, and relative ease of assembly. At least one bolt was a challenge and I had to get ingenious with that sucker, but made it thru. Great product, thus far.

The chipper worked to my expectations

The chipper worked to my expectations, but the ignition coil separated because of the heat of the muffler after only two months use.

Saved Me a Trip to the Dump

The branches were taking up half my trailer. After chipping them, everything fit into one pile that I could use around the property.

Fantastic machine. Chips like a pro and easy to clean.

Nice tool, but ...

This chipper was very easy to assemble, once you got all the tools needed. I would recommend you limit the different sizes of nuts and bolts.

The chipper came with a bag to catch the chips, which is a nice touch. However, if you use the bag, I would recommend removing the deflector, as it has a tendency to clog the machine.

Speaking of clogs, you clean out access is useless. I had to take the entire back off the machine in order to clear the clog. This meant removing the wheels, which made the machine topple over. The whole process of clearing any clogs was extremely difficut.

Half a machine

Assembly was easy. Starts first pull. Chips branches Great. However I do more leaves. At best 1/3 reduction. You are better off with a mower with a bagger. Will keep till I can afford a good one.
