FAQs

Are small wood chippers worth it?

Absolutely! Small wood chippers are a great investment for homeowners and gardeners who regularly deal with yard debris, branches, and leaves. They're compact, affordable, and powerful enough to handle routine cleanup. Whether you're looking to make fine mulch or reduce waste volume, a small chipper saves time and effort while keeping your property clean.

Can small wood chippers handle different materials like wet branches or softwood?

Yes, many small wood chippers—especially those with triple inlet feeds—are designed to handle different materials, including wet wood, twigs, and soft branches. However, it's important to note that wet or fibrous materials may reduce efficiency or require more frequent maintenance. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations to avoid getting blocked or causing blade dullness.

What’s the difference between gas-powered and electric wood chippers?

Electric wood chippers are typically lighter, quieter, and ideal for small yards with accessible power outlets. They're perfect for lighter yard debris like leaves and thin branches. Gas-powered models, like those in Farmry’s collection, are more powerful and portable—great for properties without reliable electricity or when a tow bar is needed for transport. Choose based on your space, needs, and size of material to chip.

Do your small wood chippers meet international standards for performance and safety?

Yes, our wood chippers are engineered to meet international standards for durability, safety, and engine performance. Each model—especially those powered by RATO 212cc engines—undergoes rigorous testing to ensure you’ll never be left unable to chip branches effectively. Plus, our machines are built to last, even in diverse climates or under high load from trees and thick limbs.

Key Features to Consider When Choosing a Wood Chipper (PTO vs. Gas-Powered)

When selecting a wood chipper, it’s essential to choose the right type based on power source, usage needs, and efficiency. Below are the key features to consider for both PTO-powered and gas-powered wood chippers.

5 Key Features to Consider When Choosing a Wood Chipper

Efficient Feed System

  • Choose between manual, gravity, or hydraulic feed options to match your workload.

  • Hydraulic rollers pull branches smoothly into the cutting blades for effortless chipping.

Easy Assembly & Setup

  • Most models come with simple assembly instructions for quick setup.

  • PTO chippers attach directly to your tractor, while gas models arrive ready for use upon delivery.

Power & Performance

  • PTO-powered chippers utilize the tractor’s engine, making the machine more fuel-efficient.

  • Gas-powered chippers operate independently, offering portable performance.

Cutting Capacity for Large Branches

  • Handles branches from 3 to 8 inches in diameter, depending on the model.

  • Heavy-duty steel blades ensure smooth, efficient cutting for long-lasting use.

Portability & Convenience

  • PTO models are ideal for stationary use, while gas-powered chippers are easy to move.

  • Some models include tow bars or wheels for easier transport around your property.
