2015 DR Power Equipment 11.50 Premier, Manual-Start Chipper / Shredder

Commercial-Grade Clutch

• The commercial-grade centrifugal clutch used on our chippers is similar to those used in well drilling. There is no load on the engine until it reaches 1,600 rpm. If you do manage to find a branch tough enough to slow the engine to 1,600 rpm, the clutch will automatically disengage the engine until it's back up to speed.

Easy to Maneuver

• The Premier model has built-in handles and easy-rolling wheels so for maneuvering to and around your jobsite.

Free-Swinging Hammers

• The Premier model features 16 free swinging hammers that shred garden waste, lawn clippings, and weeds into useful, nutrient-rich mulch for your garden and flower beds. Each long-lasting hammer has 3 positions, allowing you to switch to a fresh set of shredding edges when performance starts to decline.

Heavy-Duty Steel Frame

• Many chippers look like they’re built to sit in one place. DR Chippers are made to be on the move, so you can get your chipper wherever you need to be on your property. We use rugged, welded-steel frames designed to withstand transport over punishing terrain year after year.

Over-Sized Hoppers

• The Premier’s chipper hopper opening (6 x 8 in.) accepts 2.5 in. branches with little or no trimming of side branches. The shredder hopper opening is 23.5 x16.75 in., big enough to accept multiple stalks of quarter-inch thickness or less along with side branches and leaves.

Powerful Engine

• Unlike cheap garden shredders, the Premier DR has a world-class Briggs & Stratton engine with 11.50 ft. lbs. of torque – plenty of power for most homeowners. That's 2-3 times the power of department store models!
