Tools and Hardware Reviews of Troy-Bilt 5.5 HP Chipper Shredder Vacuum #24B060F-766
Customer Review: Works fairly
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased an older model of this Troy Built Chipper Vac about 5 years ago.
THE CHIPPER: will handle limbs up to about 3/4 inch. Feeding limbs in I noticed it usually won't finish pulling the last part of the limb into the chipper. I feed them in from the base of the limb first. This leaves the leaves going in last. So I just use the next limb to finish pushing in the last one this works pretty well.
THE FRONT VACUUM: works fairly well at picking up dry leaves. Once in a while it will leave some leaves behind and you have to go back over it (I admit my grass was a little high when that occured the leaves hung up in the grass so make sure your lawn is cut). My experience is it takes several passes to get pine needles vacuumed up but I admit I had left them on the ground awhile and that may have been a factor. I have never had the wide front vacuum clog. Another note about it is if you are vacuuming leaves off your driveway the vacuum will such up small gravel and you can hear it bashing around in the chipper. I am sure that's not good for it (So I recommed blowing the leaves off the drivway and vacuuming them up).So to sum it up it does not do to bad. The wheels are ajustable in height.
THE VACUUM HOSE: does pretty good at getting in around flower beds and such (If you have a leave blower you could also just blow the leaves out of the flower bed and vacuum them up with the wide front vac). Sometimes when you are vacuuming with the hose it will clog. If a twig gets sucked up or you hit wet leaves it will clog. Usually the clog is where the hose connects to the deck. Just press the release remove the hose and pull the stuff out it is fairly easy.
MY COMPLAINT: The unit is NOT self propelled. This is a heavily constructed machine it has some weight to it. It is a little hard to push around and when that bag is getting full it is more tiring to push around!
OTHER: It does have a somewhat heavy pull start to it I believe it is to the fact that you are spinning the weight of the chipper blade with the engine to start it. But it has always started by the 2nd or 3rd pull for me. So if these problems are not a major drawback to you I would recommed the unit if you have a small area to vac. Me I am considering buying a self propelled.
