SuperHandy Ultra
- Shreds up to 3 inches thick
- Gas powered
- 130lbs
3 in 1 Multi-function
This wood chipper not only chips wood. It can also shred and mulch wood as well. It also has a side loading bag to catch all of the wood chips. This makes for an easy clean up.
This SuperHandy model also has a couple of add-ons sold separately. A tow bar kit makes this wood chipper easy to transport on an ATV or tractor. It also has a vacuum kit that can attach to the vacuum inlet on the chipper.
This vacuum kit is designed for easy leaf mulching. Not many wood chippers on the market have this functionality.
Power
This SuperHandy wood chipper has a powerful 212cc engine, capable of shredding branches up to 3 inches in diameter.
It can handle waste from trimming, pruning, brush, and small branches, and has enough power to eat through hardwood. This wood chipper truly can take on any mid-sized task you ask of it.
To help protect you from its powerful shredder, this wood chipper has a wide collar so that your clothing doesn’t get caught up in its blades. It also has a slanted design that reduces jams.
This reduces the temptation of sticking your hands too close to the blades. The slanted design is unique to this model.
SuperHandy Mini
- Shreds up to 3 inches thick
- Gas powered
- 86.8lbs
Compact and Lightweight
This is one of the lightest mid-sized wood chippers at 86.8lbs. It is easy to maneuver around a yard with its wheels and convenient handle on the collar.
Even though it doesn’t have a bag to catch the wood chips, it does have an adjustable chute.
Plus, given that it’s so easy to reposition around the yard, it’s not difficult to position to chute to deposit the wood chips where you’d like.
Like the other SuperHandy model, you can purchase a tow bar kit separately so that you can hook up this wood chipper to your ATV or tractor.
Power
This SuperHandy Mini model has the exact same powerful 212cc engine of the SuperHandy Ultra model, without all the extra multifunctionality parts.
This gives you the same performance of shredding twigs and branches up to 3 inches in diameter without the weight, bulk, or cost of the Ultra model.
While it doesn’t have the fancy features like a leaf vacuum kit, if you’re looking for a pure wood chipper this offers the same performance at a reduced price.
It doesn’t compromise on safety, as it still has a wide collar to protect you from the blades. Both models have similar great reviews on Amazon.
GreatCircleUSA
- Shreds up to 3 inches thick
- Gas powered
- 126lbs
3-in-1 Capabilities
This wood chipper is another model that offers 3-in-1 multifunctionality. It is a wood chipper, shredder, and mulcher. It is great for shredding tree limbs, brush, and trimmings, or mulching leaves.
It has virtually the same add-ons as the SuperHandy Ultra model. A tow bar can be purchased separately, which allows you to attach your wood chipper to your ATV or small tractor for transportation.
The leaf vacuum is another optional add-on for easy leaf mulching.
Power and Size
Like the other models shown here, this wood chipper has a 212cc engine. It can rip through limbs and branches up to 3 inches in diameter.
It has a reduction ratio of 15:1, which is great if you have a large volume of tree debris that you need compacted.
So what’s the difference between this model and the SuperHandy Ultra?
Not much. The two wood chippers have the same specs. Their weights are almost identical. The main difference is price and reviews.
This GreatCircle USA model costs about 10% less than the SuperHandy Ultra, though the SuperHandy Ultra does have the edge when it comes to reviews. SuperHandy also has a slanted design to reduce jams.
Regardless, both models are great quality mid-sized wood chippers.
EFCUT C30
- Shreds up to 3 inches thick
- Gas powered
- 116lbs
Efficient Chipping
Unlike the other models here with a reduction ratio of 15:1, this EFCUT C30 wood chipper has a reduction ratio of 20:1. This is a fantastic feature if you have a lot of twigs, leaves, and branches that need to be compacted.
It doesn’t have a collection bag, but it does have an adjustable chute so you can direct your chips where you’d like.
It’s equally powerful to the other models on this list, boasting a 212cc engine. Anything up to 3 inches in diameter is fair game for this wood chipper.
It also has a wide collar to help keep you and your clothing far away from the blades.
Portability
This wood chipper is one of the lighter models for its size and power. It’s only 116 lbs, and has 10 inch all-terrain tires as well as an easy grip handle. This enables it to be maneuvered around a small yard easily.
If you don’t have an ATV or tractor and need to move your wood chipper by hand, having one that is designed to easily be moved by hand is a great feature.
However, it doesn’t have a tow bar so it can’t be attached to an ATV or small tractor. If you have a large yard, acreage, or need to transport it long distances, this is a bit of a downsize.
Conclusion
So those were the best mid sized wood chippers.
Hope you found what you were looking for in this guide.
Happy chipping!
