The unit has a 3-in-1 capability with a vacuum nozzle, chipper chute, and shredder to give you three clean-up tools for ultimate versatility. The 24-inch vacuum width is extra-wide for bigger clearance and makes quick work of large areas. The adjustable vacuum intake height will raise and lower the vacuum nozzle from 1/4-to-4-3/4-inches to accommodate varying ground conditions.
Other features include a 3-inch chipping capacity, and a heavy-duty hardened-steel impeller and cast-iron shredding screen that reduces debris in a 10:1 reduction ratio. The self-propelled transmission has 1-forward speed for easier use, and provides plenty of maneuverability for large yards. The 3-bushel, felt-lined collection bag reduces dust when in use, and the 6-inch lockable front caster wheels and 10-by-4-inch fully pneumatic rear wheels provide ease in maneuverability. The chipper comes with a limited 2-year warranty on materials and workmanship.

I have had nothing by a very positive experience with this product since I received it yesterday.
R&L Trucking delivered it right to my garage floor a mere three days after I clicked "Place your Order".
I assembled it and oiled it up in about 30 minutes and set right to work. The engine started on the first pull and has restarted easily every time thereafter.
My first task was to eliminate that big pile of downed branches beside the compost pile that my wife has been bugging me about for weeks. The chipper turned it into a small pile of itty bitty chips in about an hour and a half.
I used the leaf vacuum today just to make sure we're ready for the assault of the oak leaves that will be starting in a few weeks. I was equally pleased with the vacuum's power and shredding ability. I measured the resulting leaf dust and it had been reduced about 9.8065 to 1. That's close enough to 10:1 for me. (Kidding. But the leaf shreds are darn small.)
The machine does have a single power take-off sprocket on the left side, but it turns the entire rear axle evenly and achieves the design goal of self-propulsion effectively. The vacuum pulled straight up my driveway at a stately pace with very little steering input from me.
Make sure the last stick you toss in the chipper before you cut the engine is a nice long one so that it will clear all the little unchipped bits away from the blades. If a piece remains jammed in the chipper you won't even be able to pull the starter next time.
Overall, I'm looking forward to Fall with this effective new tool in my shed. I can now face my neighbors with new pride in the neat appearance of my lawn.

This saves me a ton of time each fall, and even during the year I can make use of it. I shred my ornamental grasses and cornstalks in the fall and add them to my compost pile. It's so easy to use I usually also do the neighbors yards so I can get some extra leaves for mulch! It chops them up very small, much better than the push-lawnmower types, and smaller than the huge machines the city uses.
The only problem is if the leaves are wet then the front chute tends to clog and you have to remove it to unclog it. At least they thought to use big wingnuts so it is easy to take off.
It is also very easy to start, it almost always starts on the very first pull.

I still own one of the original machines (formally manufactured by MTD and later sold to Troy-Bilt) and its nearing the time for an engine replacement. My only complaint is the bagging system. The design is poor. The bag is made of thick felt that leaves get stuck to and after two years, it began to rip at the seams. The other problem is the grommets used in the strap that hangs the bag. They all stretched and eventually broke. I bought a few snap clips and cable to hold the bag tight to the handle bars for easy removal.
To make this machine perfect the collection bag should be made of the same thick nylon mesh used for grass bags on lawnmowers. Then, use a seatbelt strap/buckle to keep the bag securely on the machine.
Otherwise, its been a great machine every fall since 1998.

Having owned a Troy-Bilt Chipper for 14 years, gives me the opportunity
to compare the two machines. The new one is much improved but not without some quirkey issues.
From the purchase to the delivery, all the steps were effortless and without a hitch. I found the machine easy to assemble with one exception. The chipper chute mounting holes did not line up. The enlargment of one of the holes took care of this. The machine does what the instructions say it can do. It works much better than its predecessor. However the pull start is in an awkward position and it is a bit loud, and there is no oil filler tube and dip stick. If available, buy a self-start model.

My old chipper vac (Model 47261, 5HP) is better---a bit beefier for chipping, and easier to adjust for vacuuming, plus has reverse, and 5 or so forward speeds. This model doesn't self-feed very well for the chipper. However, the vacuum doesn't seem to clog like my old one (probably because there is no screen in this one). The self-propelling feature is useless---only one forward speed and it's too fast.
This vac is best for smallish, flat, non sloping, yards, with only moderate leaf clean up required. Chipper good only for small limbs, no good for twiggy brush.
