3 Year Owner Product Review: Predator 212CC Chipper/Shredder!

The Predator Chipper/Shredder helps with cutting up leaves and small branches when doing the clean up on your yard. I have a 2021 model that I have been using for the past 3 years and put together a product review video for anyone considering this machine!
How to operate, safety tips, likes and dislikes about the chipper are shown. But would I buy it again??

Hmmm, I always just mulch up my leaves in the fall by mowing them repeatedly with the riding mower until they're shredded down fine enough to look like part of the soil. I do get a lot of brush and limbs in the yard about every time we have a good thunderstorm though. Might have to pick one of these up instead of having the big bonfire every fall from the brush pile.

Using a mower to mulch will be much faster than this shredder!

As far as the bag, I think I'd take the nuts off from around that chute opening and see if I couldn't wrap some baling wire or something around those bolts, then re-install the nuts over it, forming the wire into some rounded hooks to help hold the bag without making holes in the bag. Either that or put some steel grommets in the bag end and use the hooks through those.

Good idea ! Thanks for sharing!

Have you checked the valve lash? I have one hemi and a non hemi that is original with my chipper pull start has alwags been easy. Main thing i have an issue with is bogging on thicker branches.

Have not checked that but thanks for the suggestion!

Use ethanol free gas if you can find it. Then stabilizer isn't needed.
