This video is for folks that are thinking about picking up a wood chipper for the homestead or garden. I did my research and settled on this one because it is inexpensive and does everything that I need from a chipper on my 8 acre homestead. I just figured that I would show you what I got just in case some of you might be interested. I have also provided an amazon Affiliate link below so you can find the exact one that I am featuring in this video.

Beautiful machine - did a very nice job.
Nice little tip with the sharpie. I'm still up in the air on which to get because reviews are all over the place for the cheap machines. I kind of want one with a hopper for leaves
At 11:08 - something about the sound of that engine starting up is so pleasing :) Great video.
Great review video! Nice job comparing the wood piles. Surprised no assy instructions.
wow! Thank you, especially you started from unboxing to shredding! Great vid. Very detailed. God bless you.
My pleasure, thanks for watching.
Wow puts it RIGHT where you want it! Filling a basket no less. I'd have been impressed if most of the chips had stayed in a lawn trailer let alone a basket!
I ordered the same chipper, I feel confident in my purchase, now. Thanks for the video 👍🏻
You should have got the E47
This was the most securely packed piece of merchandise I’ve ever encountered. All the parts were where they said they were, and it was all the weight I could handle. I probably won’t get near the use out of it, that it has built into it, since I’m a handicapped 73 year. It still went together very well, but not nearly as well as the Demonstrator. I even had to use long handled pliers to pick up my wrench, off of the floor. I felt like I was mugged, by the time I finished putting it together, but satisfied that I could still do it. What I should have done was hired it done, but no satisfaction in watching people struggle, while needing supervision, for insurance reasons. I’m happy 😃.
@@hans-jurgenwiegand7465 ahh but there's always a catch lol check too see if you have coronavirus if it's come from 🇨🇳
James Edwards I’ve got enough troubles, as is, and half of my time is spent going to Dr. appointments, or taking someone else. It gets complicated once you are a Great Grandfather with 5 great Grandchildren, in diapers. It takes awhile to get used to my daughter being a Grandmother. More worried about what my grandchildren bring home from school. I’m just slugging away till, I can’t!
How do you like it?
looks decent. I read that the blades are very accessible for viewing/changing. Is this true? Have you tried sharpening or replacing the blades yet? Thanks
It is true, and i have three sets of blades athat I change and sharpen on a rotation. One set of bldes willnlast most of a season but it depends on rather im chipping hard dry twigs or green wood. But either way the blades are easy to change.
Just ordered mine. 625 on sale at the site with NO tax and free shipping. Nice!
Turn the music off so I can hear how the engine is performing
Exactly, I had that thought at least 10 times.
I got a Dorite 5.5HP(actually a 6hp) wood chipper that I can tow with my ride on mower and it's a little beast of a machine that chip even fairly decent size dry branches.
Great video thank you, I will buy it.
Thanks for sharing.😊
Thanks for your helpful review and assembly video! My 50th is this month and this is my gift! Ordering through your affiliate link and subscribed to your channel. Thank you for your service and Godspeed!
Thank you so much and happy birthday.
Happy late b day
Lots of info, great video quality. I'd watch a video where you just chip. Say clean up one of those piles like you showed. There aren't a lot of good chipping videos out there.
Right?! This is so satisfying to watch. Can't wait for mine to arrive this weekend. I may post my first ever youtube video...
@@KaiKronfield Yeah! Post an all chipping video. I look forward to seeing it!
cool
Harbor Freight has a variety of inexpensive replacement tires and wheels should they be needed.
That's right, I forgot about them, they have a ton. Fortunately most of the hardware stores up here have a good assortment as well.
haha - you are apretty funny guy! great demo! found you from No. Idaho Homesteaders - I'm over here in PR Idaho. . . keep up the good work!
Awesome, we are in PR also. Just got home from tonights high school wrestling meet. We didnt beat Bonners but my son won both of his matches. Hahah welcome here.
there is 3 different C30 models , the C30 , then the C30 mini , the C30 lite ... which model did you end up buying ? I see the difference is how many cutting hammers are on the machine , there is a 4 hammer , 2 hammer , And the lite model doesn't show the hammers with the cutting blades
*Looks not too bad for the price!*
Yea its surprising. For the test run that I didnt film, it chewed up a bunch of old dry pieces that were cut from seasoned tipi poles. It was pretty impressive.
Haa, I ordered the chipper too after watching your video. Very good review. What kind of gas do you use? Do I need to mix any oil in the Ethanol-free gas? Do I need to buy those "TRUFUEL 4-Cycle Fuel"? Thank you!
I just use the cheapest gas I can get. There is nothing in the manual that suggest you need any additives.
Dave, I just ordered the same chipper, excited for it to arrive. What weight oil does it require? I would like to go ahead and get it now. By the way, awesome video you posted.
I think the oil was 10w30 but the requirement are in the manual. I don't have the manual anymore, I used it to paper test some knife projects, hahaha.
On Amazon, EFCut said: "We recommend SAE 15w40 oil. In freezing wether use 5W30." I just ordered it too. Waiting it to arrive :D
real nice video!!
Thank you. It was sort of "hip pocket" with no real planning. Glad that you liked it.
What is the specific oil brand/kind/where you got it from? It says it recommends SAE15W-40 4-cycle API SE. I cannot find any oil that meets these specs. Thank you.
I may be wrong, but isn’t the diameter from the edge of the wood to the center? Which means the machine should take wood that is 6 inches in circumference.
From edge to center is radius. Edge to edge is diameter, all the way around is circumference.
Nice chipper. However, I want to shred Oak leaves for mulch. Have you tried just raked leaves? Do they get reduced to small size? Do they feed through the raised chute?
Thanks for sharing. Price?
Bad idea? fresh pine alot of resin?
I would have liked to have to sound of the machine working instead of music. What kind of load on the motor!
You can hear that on the Amazon review, I put three videos up with no music. Link is below.
Thanks for the video, looking into ordering this. Did you have any issue installing the output chute? Another user reviewing same machine had to cut a slot in the output chute to get it to install.
What oil are you using in yours. Excellent video. Thanks
I believe it was 10w30 but the recommendation is in the manual.
Hard to tell on my phone; is that a USMC pin in your hat?
Nice job on straight branches,,not so much on curved and dry ones,,not so much
It does good on the dry ones also. The only problem is that the entrance to the chipper is only 3" square so it is easy to get it clogged by shoving in too much odd shaped clippings.
Don’t you agree the most important part of putting this product together should be HOW DOES THE EFCUT ENGINE STARTS and then HOW TO MAINTAIN ITS ENGINE SPEED to keep it running?! Still can’t figure out how to keep the engine running with the 3 control levers.
I run it with everything on full blast. It only stalls if I am really jamming in the large slash.
I have been interested in this chipper also and would like to know how has it performed, held up and how is customer support?
It has performed great for me. I changed the blades after they got chewed up over many hours of use. I don't know about customer service because I haven't needed to contact them.
All I want to see just the pile of leafs the side of a oak tree.
Great Video! Does anyone know the difference between the C30 and the c30 mini?
Afraid I dont, I haven't seen or used the mini.
How is this thing holding up?
Holding up great. I have put it through the ringer here but nothing commercial, just farm use, but it gets a lot of use.
So you would not recommend to go with a larger than the 7hp motor? 11 or 13hp?
I would say to understand how much power you need and get one with enough power for how you plan to use it. This is enough for me and it doesn't break the bank.
Will this do leaf?
Kinda wanted too hear the machine too see if there is any bog down whilst feeding only I have to listen too music.........
Just trying to save the annoyance of the motor sound but I got you covered. I put a version of this video on the amazon review without the music. Spoiler alert, it does bog down when you jam it full but it doesent stall.
Hey Dave. Got my EFCUT C30. Great video by the way. When I first started it up I got a terrible knocking sound. Didn't sound right so I shut it off and I'm looking at it. Did you hear anything like that when first starting it up or was it a pretty smooth startup? Sounds to me like something is defective, but just curious what your experience was on initial start up.
Your start up in the video sounds fine....mine is not that way.
Mine sounded fine on startup. It is a very loud machine but know knocking. Maybe check to make sure all the bases are tight and nothing is stuck in there. There is a inspection window at the bottom. Pop off the cover and turn the auger a full rotation to see if anything is hitting. Wear thick leather gloves, those blades are sharp and the auger is heavy so once it is in motion it stays in motion for a bit. Also make sure the power switch is OFF so you don't accidently start it when you turn the auger.
@@MakersMovementDIY Thanks, Dave. So I took the cover off and we could see where the blade was hitting. So my father-in-law and myself grinded down the area (behind the screw that holds the chute). We also took the blade off that was hitting that and part of the inside of the front plate. There was some paint build up and we got rid of that and then used one of the new replacement blades as that one had some chips. Now here's the funny part. I got a delivery earlier in the day that I didn't open. When I finally did open it, it was an additional part from the company to fix this very thing. Apparently a number of machines they sent out had this issue. The part arrived a day after I got the chipper. Basically, it just pushes the front plate out ever so slightly. I'm not sure if our fix would have worked because I just added theirs. Everything works great now.. I guess that wasn't so funny. Thanks for the reply Dave and the video. Your video convinced me to buy this and it all works great now.
@@gdraeger thats awesome. I do feel bad that you had any trouble at all with it. I only had the one machine and mine is perfect. I'm very glad that they were on top of the customer service end of the deal. That makes feel better about the recommendation.
Can this shred leaves well?
I don't see why not but all I have is pine needles so I can only guess.
@@MakersMovementDIY thank you
@@jeng.1439 my pleasure, wish I could help more
what is the cost of these machines?
Im sure that it changes according to the season, I put a link below.
How can I get new blades?
I'm pretty sure you can order them rightfrom their Amazon storefront , but currently sold out, maybe keep an eye on this link.. amzn.to/3ymDPtG
not a bad review. it ate a fairly large tree branch.
is this a scam? the company is in china. i genuinely want to order.
The company IS in China, but they ship from Los Angelos I think. Many things these days are made in China. Like almost everything at walmart. This is not a scam. Mine arrived safe and sound. I also found it to be a good piece of equipment at a good price. Hope that helps.
Ah, I just can find any faith in the Chinese junk machines due to all the horror stories of parts breaking and no support. I wanted to buy a unit but I backed off until I can find more reports of equipment running well thru a season. Wish I had a local machine shop that could build me a heavier cutting blade system that could actually done a 3 inch branch without falling apart.
Would have loved to hear the engine, instead I get music. WHY? . :(
Artistic liberties, hahha. I posted theses videos on Amazon in the review section with no music. Just seemed annoying to put in this video.
Hey I bet when you go to buy a new or used car or a tractor or lawn mower anything with a motor I bet the first thing you do is start it up and sat there listening to the motor; you rev it up; put it under a load and all the while Listening closely to the sound, witch tells you Allot about the engine and the rest of the machine.
So WHY make "WE" the "PEOPLE" listen to music ?
No music on the video review that I put on Amazon.
Cool music, but listen to it on your own time. It ruins your video.
This video is my own time. Sorry that this free content didn't meet your high standards.
@@MakersMovementDIY LOL, Freaking people! Thank you so much for that free review. I have spent a lot of time figuring out what chipper at what price is best for my purpose. I like this basic chipper at his price point. Thanks again
