Q: Will The Premier 300 chipper shredder handle green pine needles. The needles would be mixed with small branches (1/2 inch or less). Also, would the chipper handle 3 in or less pine branches?

1 Answer
  • A: Thank you for your question. We would recommend using the Shredder portion of the machine. When processing leaves it is best to add in some solid smaller branches. They will help pull the leaves through the Shredder and help to prevent clogging. If you have any additional questions, please reach out to our Technical Department at 1-800-687-6575.

Not worth the price

2 years ago
The design was very odd. When you tilt it to move, the engine is on the bottom! The baffles on the 3" feed tube don't block pieces from being thrown back out at the operator. When I fed material into the hopper, the machine pulled the stuff in so quickly that I hardly had time to let go without getting my arm yanked down towards the bottom of the hopper. Though the material was chipped pretty nicely, I returned the machine because it felt unsafe to use. Not worth almost $1000!

No, I do not recommend this product.

My DR Chipper

This is and does exactly what I wanted it to do. I had to order it, so it took a while to be delivered to the store. But it was worth the wait. The folks at Tractor Supply did a great job at setting everything up for the purchase. They even loaded it when it arrived.

It's a chipper, that's all.

2 years ago
If a branch/stick is straight and fits into the chipper opening, it'll get chipped, but that's about all that works on this thing. Shredder is useless. I tried anything from a thin branch full of leaves (will rip out of your and take some time to shred then clog) or a hand full of leaves or hay (will clog in the chute and never make it to the blades). I spent more time in disassembly and unclogging then usage. It has a big top hopper that drops into a what, 2"x4" opening? No shutoff, you have to either turn off the fuel valve or pull the spark plug wire. If you're going to cut holes in the metal and call it a handle, add some rolled metal or cushion, this thing is hard to move around.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Generac
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're truly sorry to hear about your negative experience, and would like to help make it right. When using the chipper, ensure you are feeding material into the chute slowly, that your branches are free of twigs, and are 1.5"-3" inches in diameter. If you are experiencing clogs in either the chipper or shredder, it helps to alternate between dry and wet/green material. Another trick to remove clogs is to chip a 1" branch to loosen any stuck material. More information on recommended processing of materials can be found on page 14 of the owner's manual: https://dam.generac.com/ImConvServlet/imconv/cec75f8a4bc86abc073ef9fe8b8db136e638a717/original
To power down the engine, simply turn the throttle control lever all the way past the "SLOW" position to the "STOP" position, then close the fuel valve for storage. If you should have any additional questions related to the operation of your chipper/shredder, please call DR's technical support line at 1-800-687-6575. Generac

So far, so good. Oil fill in a bad spot.

2 years ago
On the first attempt it did well. I was satisfied with most of it and the way it worked. I did have to take the chipper chute off to fill and check the oil, so that is a major problem both now and the future. The shredder hopper has a very stiff rubber guard and you have to feed leaves slowly or it doesn't feed properly. I'm satisfied overall, but let me get back to you in a year.

Hello Jim, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Feedback like this is crucial as we strive to continually improve our products and services. There are instructions/ tips within the owner's manual on how to navigate filling, checking, and draining the oil which should not require the removal of the chipper chute - primarily, a funnel will be required. However, I can understand the easy of which this is accomplished may vary given the proximity to the chute. Which again, is why we truly appreciate this feedback. We look forward to hearing back in a year! Thanks again Jim. Generac

Hello Charles, thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with our chipper shredder. We're truly sorry to hear that it hasn't met your expectations regarding the chipping capacity. We understand that the stated 3-inch maximum can vary with conditions like the dryness of the wood, the presence of knots, and whether the wood is hard or soft - which can indeed affect its optimal performance. Your insights and feedback are invaluable to us for improving our products and customer satisfaction. Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback. Generac

Crankshaft Shattered

2 years ago
The good: the chipper part works great! The bad: the shredder is totally worthless.  The horrible: we had this unit for 26 months. Used it approximately 6 times and have been very careful to not overload the machine when chipping. On the last use the end of the crankshaft of the Briggs and Stratton engine shattered. Tractor Supply says it a DR Problem and to contact them. DR so far says they won’t do anything except sell us another engine.  The engine warranty is 24 months. I recommend staying away from DR products, especially any that have Briggs and Stratton engines.

DR chipper

Got it home unpacked it and either the store broke the assembly bad or they left some small nuts and bolt in the bottom which was impossible to see in the bottom of the hopper.

Good but not good enough

3 stars... only because it doesnt actually chip up to 3 inch branches. Ive tried hard wood, soft wood, dead wood and greenwood. 1.5 inches is your max or it shuts the chipper off. Other complaint is the hopper is so small you have to cut limbs until they are almost perfectly straight or it wont go into the chipper. Other than that it works pretty good.

I'd Purchase Again

This unit works pretty good overall as long as you are patient. The chipper is great and works flawlessly. The shredder has to be fed slowly and has to have time to clear itself out, otherwise it will clog up immediately. The engine can be a mother whopper to get started if you don't shut the fuel off and run the carburetor dry after each use.
