Ecomod my wood chipper
I destroyed the engine on DR premier 300 wood chipper.
It's a Kohler 6.5hp 196cc. Looks like chipping dry sticks wasn't good for it.
The cutter head has 1 cutter.
It was kind of lame.
The Internet told me I should buy a $3,600 towable, 14hp machine. That's too much money. I'm going to rebuild this one.
I'm thinking make a shaft out of 4130, 1.25 inch for the pulley and bearings then turn it down to a fat 7/8 so it's press fits into the cutter head.
Repower it with my Honda gx390 for now. Maybe upgrade to a predator 459cc later.
