I purchased the the Yardbeast 3514 about a month ago. It assembled easily and worked well from the first use. It starts on the first pull each time (even @ 30 F temp) and readily chips the three main materials I have, bamboo, hardwood branches and honeysuckle. I really appreciate the heavy flywheel as is does not bog down like many other chippers i have used.

I also like the large chute as it makes feeding the chipper so much easier. Finally I received fast and respectful service from the customer service department. Thanks for a great machine

I ordered by phone. I was happy to have a person answer and not a robo menu. I wanted to make sure the price included delivery to my door and not out on the street like the DR brand. Delivery was right at my garage from a box truck with a lift gate. I've used it only twice but am very happy with the quality and performance.

It devours three inch hardwood and the feed hopper is big enough to take limbs with side branches. Much less using the loppers than my old Tomahawk chipper shredder. The discharge chute is high enough to go into my utility trailer to get rid of the chips. I think it is 5 star.

I have since received the wheels and assembled. The manual was there all along. I did not realize it was in canister until I started to assemble it. The company shipped quickly once I called which I appreciate. The chipper is running great now!

So far so good. I've really enjoyed my YardBeast after having it for only the past 3 weeks. It's easy to assemble from the various parts that showed up. I added the required oil and gas, and I was in business. It's very loud, so make sure that you're wearing the necessary hearing protection and shatter-proof glasses.

No problem gobbling up 3" diameter branches. processed over 40 branches in less than 20 minutes. I needed to trim a couple of branches to make some branches fit into the shoot, but that was a small price to pay for the efficiency of chipping all those branches. Highly recommended.
