Autumn is on the way, and with it will come plenty of outdoor projects that you may have put off for the cooler weather. Take full advantage of the milder weather conditions to clean up your yard or property this fall before winter sets in. Do you have fallen tree branches from summer storms and felled trees that you’ve been meaning to deal with? Or are you looking to mulch some yard debris to speed up its decomposition? When it comes to wood chippers and wood chipper shredders, we’ve got you covered. DK2 has the power tools you need for the task— big or small. 

How to Choose The Chipper Shredder that is Right for You


The caliber of woodchipper that you need corresponds to the size of the jobs you want to take on and also literally corresponds to the size of the trees and branches you need to chip or shred. For basic yard cleanup, a lighter-duty general chipper shredder will do the job. For routine tree pruning and larger property maintenance, you’ll need a stronger engine and larger chipping capacity. Branches with less than 1 inch diameter can be easily handled by an entry level woodchipper, while heftier branches and small tree trunks will require more capacity from your wood chipper. 

Choosing the Best Chipper Shredder for Backyard Projects

For basic yard cleanup and landscaping maintenance, you need an entry-level woodchipper. Fallen branches up to 3 inches in diameter and yard waste from trimming bushes and small ornamental trees can be easily transformed into useful mulch with a good chipper. DK2’s OPC513  is a great, affordable choice. It is DK2’s opening price point model and offers great bang for your buck. The included large chip bag is capable of holding up to 4.3 bushels. With 10-inch off-road-only tires, getting your wood chipper where you need it is easy! Get your fall landscaping looking great with the help of the DK2 OPC513 wood chipper. 

Choose a Chipper Shredder That’s Great for Tree Pruning and Larger Properties 

If you need to do any tree pruning this fall or if you are managing a larger property, the OPC525 may be a great option. With a 5” chipper featuring a Kohler Command Pro engine, this chipper is compact but very powerful. Featuring a kinetic cyclonic drum for added torque, you won’t be short on power for your fall projects. The dual belt drive drum transmission with double-edge reversible cutting blades easily handles trees and brush up to 5 inches in diameter. Those fallen trees that have been on your to-do list are no match for a powerful DK2 chipper. You’ll knock out your property projects easily this fall with DK2 power tools.

Choose a Chipper Shredder with a Vacuum Attachment for Easy Clean Up

If you’re looking for a way to make project clean-up easier, the vacuum attachment on DK2’s OPC503V shredder chipper vacuum will meet your needs. With a KOHLER® Command PRO® CH270 7HP 208 cc engine, there’s no shortage of power to chip trees up to 3 inches in diameter.

The extra-large hopper feed chute makes shredding branches and brush a breeze, and the ATV-locking wheels are great for off-road towing up to 15 mph. Finish your projects and the cleaning up in record time this fall. 

Choose a chipper Shredder with Towing Ability for Jobs On the Go

With a powerful KOHLER® Command PRO® 14HP 429 cc engine and 600 RPM hydraulic feed, the auto-adjusting cutters handle up to 5.25-inch diameter trees with ease.
