2015 DR Power Equipment 11.50 Premier, Manual-Start Rapid-Feed Chipper

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.

Don't Settle for Cheap Wood Chippers

• Big Briggs & Stratton engine gives you 2-3 times the power of department store chippers.

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.

Massive Solid-Steel Flywheel

• Even the biggest hardwood branches won't bog down the DR Wood Chipper. The flywheel is cut from heavy steel (3/4 in. thick) and weighs 34 pounds. The massive size of this flywheel provides the inertia necessary for the chipper knife to power through knotty, hardwood branches at an incredible 40 bites per second.

Over-Sized Hopper

• Over-sized hoppers (up to 22.8 x 27.5 in.) will accept whole armfuls of small branches at once, or even whole trees and saplings -- with little or no trimming of side branches. This saves tremendously on the time you spend pruning and preparing materials for chipping.

Self-Feeding

• With a sharp chipper knife DR Rapid-Feed Wood Chippers will self-feed 90% of the material you put in it, instead of you having to force-feed the material. This enables you to process limbs up to 3-1/2 in. thick 2-3 times faster, and with far less effort than any cheap wood chipper.
