well done HANSA thanks for given a Aussie a helping hand..... the hours you have committed to youtube mate its well deserved. if i'm ever in the market for a chipper it will be a HANSA now Well done.
Thanks mate lol... I think I spend more hours working on my RUclips vids than in the garden these days! Yes, it's nice to get a bit of luck like this and I appreciate you recognising my effort. Cheers :)
Same here. if I ever get a property with my own garden large enough and I need a chipper this will be the one I get after seeing how well it works. well done Hansa for supplying the machine to Mark. and hope you have fun using your new machine too :-)
Wish I could afford one.
It's good to see a brand with an affirmative stand for it's product.
I'm in Europe and for me the Hansa brand was totally unknown.
I believe their positive action corrected the issue. Well done gents. ;-)
I got a similar thing in europe for 1/5th of price. Good luck
It's like a comedy sketch when they start shouting at each other with the ear defenders on without the thing running
LOL I wondered if anyone would comment on that... I think the whole neighbourhood could hear us! Cheers :)
Haha that’s funny
win / win. Hansa gets a half a million people learning about it's product, and our friend here gets a quality chipper.
Shows what companies to buy from. They are so confident in their product they let people show and give honest opinions.
These are by far the best chippers on the market.I own a c9 model it
Is easily 20 Years old . I use it in my business.It has a true self feeding Action.The secret is to keep the blades sharp.They are
Easily removed and replaced on
The machine.HANSA service is
Second to none.
Hansa got a good deal.
thats so cool, Hansa as a company are the best .. Nothing but praise for them. Ive got the Hansa C21 and it is an absolute screamer. Keep up the great info and the garden looks great. too...
The story behind how Hansa started is amazing
I used to sell their products in NZ in the naughties
I’ve sold their PTO and petrol models
They were super popular with hire companies because of their durability
Most clients had had bad luck getting an effective small chipper that didn’t get stuck
I remember picking one up from their workshop in Te Rapa, Hamilton
Even then the hire companies were trying to buy him out.
Seriously fascinating bloke, an East German emigre back in the day when that meant escape!
We talked a lot of his trips around the Baltic in a sailing dinghy
He just knew sound engineering, I think he was awaiting his daughter? To join him in the business at the time.
I never once had any complaint about their gear once sold.
That’s tough when shredding small items vs chipping thicker tree material
Rare nowadays in the ever cheap world of Chinese knockoffs.
Great to see Hansa still going strong.
Hi Mark, just want to tell you I bought a C13 chipper based on this RUclips video. I let Hansa know when registering. Keep up the quality videos. My wife and I think your hilariously entertaining and have inspired us to get our garden going. All the best, Carl
Faith in humanity restored 👍😊 Well done Hansa!
👍👍to HANSA for giving this top shelf of a man a chipper I had never heard of you be for and now I have 👌
A multiplicity of thanks for a brilliant video about a brilliant product. I have had the smaller C7 Hansa chipper for a few years and every time that I use the machine I tell my wife that "I love that machine." I just have a suburban block but with lots of trees and I found after using electric munchers for many years that they are are tediously slow and totally useless for palms. My wife and I saw a Hansa promotional video online and I knew instantly that I had to have one. I have loved that machine ever since. After having a couple of humungously big, 36 year old trees (macadamia and Lilly Pilly) trimmed this year, the Hansa C7 handled the lot except for some very thick branches. Not having to have a separate narrow chute to grind the thicker branches (like other brands do) is very good because little trimming of lateral branches is necessary to feed the big branches into the machine.
I would recommend that Mark gets a full face mask to use with the Hansa as occasionally a chip will fly out of the input chute and whilst goggles will protect the eyes, they won't stop damage to your teeth like a full face mask will. This is especially so when the rubber flap inside the chute wears out and disappears as mine has. Bunnings will sell a full face mask with attached ear muffs that does the job well and is not very expensively priced. I also recommend wearing leather cloves as when the chipper drags in a branch, you don't want to have any chance of having your hand abraded by the branch.
I have only recently started watching Mark's RUclipss and, like others, I have been influenced by his recommendations which seem to be stunningly honest appraisals of products. eg I have just installed my first Birdies raised garden bed and am delighted with it. The first plantings of zucchinis and cucumbers are rocketing away and I am delighted that I can tend the garden whilst standing up.
Well done, Mark! Your RUclipss are terrific!
Great to hear about your C7 Bruce and thanks for the advice on the face mask! Glad you're enjoying "stand up gardening" it's the way to grow I reckon 😁👍 All the best mate!
I love how real this is. No glossed over editing. Australia seems like a great place to live btw.
Kudos to HANSA for helping out a hard-working bloke like yourself! It’s a grand gesture..enough to make one a customer for life. Great videos as always 👍
I don't even live in Australia / New Zealand, don't even have trees/branches, and now I want one. That was so satisfying. Big ups to them for keeping production local. Ausiess helping Aussies, what a wild idea.
Suffering serious mulcher envy after seeing this! What a beauty!
I love to see great companies like these working with Local you tubers, it’s great advertising and I’m really excited to see your hard work recognized.
OMG, I literally just bought one of these this afternoon! We obsessed over chippers for a long time and decided this was the best one for our needs. Not cheap, but a really useful machine. We’ve got 16 acres so there’s no shortage of chipping to do. Glad you like it. I’d hate to have to call and cancel the order. 😁
You are kidding me! 16 acres Janet - oh how I would love that much land to play on... All the best with your chipper! Cheers :)
Aw man. We’ve been looking at these for a while now. I think my husband sold already. Will give them a call in the morning. Thanks Hansa team!
Best of luck Janine in whatever you and hubby decide - thanks for watching! Cheers :)
Never knew how much I need I chipper.
👍
me too...
Thank you for your service.
you’ve sacrificed part of your life so we can enjoy ours and for that you are truely appreciated.
👍 cheers mate
Wow, I would love a Hansa Chipper. If I buy one it will be a Hansa. God bless you Mark, you deserve it.
Hey Mark and Hansa, I can confirm you just got another sale thanks to this sponsored video. I’m actually in NZ and didn’t even know the brand and had no idea it was made in NZ. I’ll be ordering one tomorrow after seeing the quality of the chippers you guys make
Bought a Hansa chipper a couple of years ago. Brilliant machine.
I got new Hansa chipper ten years ago. It is a good piece of kit and it will do an incredible amount of work. I would recommend one to anyone with a larger section, or to hire out.
I now have more compost that I need!
I used to hire one once or twice a year, but the hire companies don’t always set the blades right, and that can make them hard work to work with.
So just make sure the the blades are set properly when you fit them after sharpening them to ensure it pulls the branches in nicely.
Im picking up the C7 model tomorrow for my Palm cleaning & removal business.
A little bit smaller but will get rid of the palm fronds.
So excited after watching your video.
Been a subscriber for years.
Im in Brisbane love your videos mate thanks.
I am in NZ and would highly recommend Hansa. Pay a bit more than other brands of same size but far better build and will chip larger material
I think you were in your glory trying that machine! Boys and their toys! Good on you Mark! The chipper will make clean up much easier. Well done HANSA!
Bit of an eye opener that video. If I had known HANSA existed a few years ago I would have one. Next time. We have an acre of privet, wattle, dead Ti tree and all sorts of nastys. It would be unthinkable now not to have a good chipper. Compost for Africa, water retention during the summer, relatively clean processing. It's the full cycle and the garden is magnificent because of it. Pays for itself in no time. All the best from NZ!
Glad you like your Hansa. I've had one for 6 years now. Still going strong and does everything
I need it to. Really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.
I need a chipper!!! I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to break down those palm leaves! Most of it I’ve been doing by hand and putting them at the wee bottom of the compost and praying they broke down at a reasonable time. Hansa looks sturdy and affordable without being cheap! I’ll give this a go mate! Thanks!
My wife & I put up with a small 2Hp Ryobi mulcher for approximately 30 years where mulching a decent pile of foliage use to take most of the day, but not anymore. I saw this video which I played and number of times then did some more research.
Needing a portable unit and not too large, I settled on a Hansa C5. I have absolutely been impressed, as Mark said, "what a great piece of kit". Awesome Hansa!
Great Machine, I have used it in my Lawn Care business and im so happy I chose Hansa.
Oh really, good to know! Cheers :)
Mine is a Red Roo. Doesn't use a blade, has a hammer-mill. Will deal with somewhat soggy stuff too (like stable manure). 10 years old now and never a glitch. Couldn't live without it.
So stoked they sent you a chipper! Will have to start saving for a Hansa 💪
It's so great that you are getting this kind of support! You give so much great info, inspiration and entertainment - it's only right it comes right back at you!
I had too much fun when you used the riding lawn mower to tow it all over the garden. Priceless. 😂😂😂
Used Hansa chippers when I worked as a gardener. They are great!
That looks like an awesome and sturdy chipper to last for many years. I have a very cheap mostly plastic one to use to chip up my flower garden debris.
The benefit of mulch around plants is amazing, especially for water conservation. So nice to see that Hansa was watching your video. Congratulations!
You convinced me! I bought one, the smaller c7. Apparently they are in short supply because of Covid supply line issues and a factory fire but I lucked into a good 2nd hand one. Thanks for demonstrating it and to Hansa for setting you up.
I hadn't heard of Hansa, but this was a great intro. I appreciate that they responded like this, and the machine has several nice features (e.g., belt engagement, easy access to fly wheel, etc.). Very impressed.
Honda GX motor (11hp?) and belt drive. That's a total winner! It truly looks like a fantastic piece of kit. Just make sure you're up on the oil changes every 50 hours (or two blade sharpenings) with the right oil and keep good fuel in it, it'll run forever.
Thank you Hansa! Mark you are so awesome and deserving of blessings to help you and help us!🌺🌞🌸🙏
I Mark I bought the Hansa C4 a number of years ago and it is my favourite piece of kit. These are very well made and it gets used regularly. No green waste has left my garden since. Just a tip, the blades last a lot longer if you chip fresh green branches or once the rain has softened up the palm fronds. Also you won't get the dust. Happy chipping.
Long time fan here here Mark! Love your stuff mate as always . It’s amazing to see the recognition and additional opportunities coming your way. Very few youtubers are as genuine as you in their content. Love from Brissie mate!
So pleasant to watch, glad you got sponsored a chipper!
Your videos are always so "chipper"! Especially today! Tom from Mesa, Arizona
LOL Cheers Tom! :)
I'm in the states but a chipper / shredder was the best money I ever spent for my homestead. Not only for making compost that doesn't take forever to break down, but I found that chipping red cedar made for beautiful walkways around the property and since it is red cedar should last a long time.
I bought my C13 about 7 years ago, and I've put up to 90 mm diameter wet cypress, cedar, elm, oak and eucalyptus through it. A very solid reliable asset and time saver.
I wear my chain sawing hard hat with ear and full face protection as occasionally the odd sharp projectile can fly back out of the feed chute, particularly when chipping those dry dead branches. It's very tempting to watch the material as it disappears through the blades.
Good on them for looking after a deserving gardener. Looks like a fantastic unit
This exact unit is what I was looking last week. Good to see it in action. Definitely on the wish list.
I love that it has a trailer connection. I have one that doesn't and I realize it is a real hassle to take it where I need it on my 10 acre property.
We have a Cox shedder, one of the best investments we ever made. Another great video Mark, make sure you get it serviced at least every two years. Greetings from Sydney mate, take care.
Awosme video Mark that's such a awosme company to give you one to review. Really shows how confident they are in their product.
I have a the Hansa C16 my self, goes through my coconut palms and bamboo with ease but can clog up if you put too much greenery in at once such as fresh gingers and heliconias mix them up with some hard stuff,and your good to go. I'm very happy
You lucky bastard! Haha! Well deserved. Better get that compost heap redone so you can start breaking down the mulch!
Thanks mate! Yeah, I miss those compost bays terribly... It's about time I got it fixed up. Cheers :)
Never heard of HANSA before but through this video, I am checking their products out.
Thats an awesome bit of kit mate. I could really use one of those around the garden. Fancy sending yours to me to the other side of the world :) Brilliant stuff and looks a quality machine
Hi the Hansa range is coming to the UK very soon, keep an eye out @hentonandchattell
HANSA, thank you so much for blessing Mark with one of your machines! His veggie garden will benefit greatly from all the compost! Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA -- 10/29/2019.
Nice chipper!
I have a Cox shredder/chipper.
Remember; After chipping sappy sticky green material, put some dry stuff thru to clean the blades etc
Avoid putting fresh chips straight onto garden (Nitrogen draw down)
Add this stuff to your green scraps to get a beautiful balanced hot compost.
OH MY!!! I just bought a C7 last week. It was delivered today! AND today is the day I found your video. I have 20 plus Bangalow Palms that keep shedding and I plan on making lots of mulch :) I'll give you an update later :) Happy chipping :)
as Tim the tool man Taylor would say "more power ahhh ahhh ahhh" I was impressed by 13 hp,I was sold by how fast it sucked in that palm frond in.thumbs up
Great work Mark. I have two smaller choppers but this one looks so much better. Judging by the comments, I think this was a very wise offer by Hansa! All the best mate!
Good on Hansa for doing this involving you!
VERY POWERFULL EASY TO MANEUVER, COMPACT AWESOME MACHINE THANKS FOR SHOWING
Wowowow!! That thing is amazing! Congratulations on such a fantastic score, Mark! As fun as that looks to use, I bet you're going to have the tidiest yard on all of RUclips in no time. I'm really excited for you.
bought the 5~6 hp model. They are right, it will self feed a bit. I was using pruning shears/loppers to cut branches in the feed intake itself so they would go down the shute (probably against recommended procedures) and woosh.. in went the pruning loppers (1m or so), fed in with the branch...what to do? let things take their course and the Hansa ate the shears within a second. Afterwards the shredder didn't want to run so well (not only cutting was off but the belts seemed to smoke a bit) so I took it back to shop, who said a rep from Hansa came and had inspected the shredder and commented they had never seen anything like that before (making me feel a bit awkward). The blades were resharpened at the shop and they got me going again - well done!. Some more setbacks later on when my helpers dropped in oversize branches and the linkages/ belts gave way, but all repairable. Expect this things to happen from time to time and retighten the linkages or use locktight! (but don't expect to drop shears, that was due to stupid). Anyway, great robust product, can taken a real terrible beating (I have given it several), and great to support an aussie company. BTW eventually I replaced the cutters with new ones, and it is doing well.
2 points to remember, wood chips for soil fertility are best when chipped with leaf (don't separate ) , don't bury woodchips.
Well done Hansa, Great chipper. Will definitely look at a hansa when i am ready to buy. Well done mark, great review
🤘🏼 That’s awesome!
Even though we are in different growing climates, not to mention different countries! I still love watching and learning a bit through every video!
Congratulations on the chipper! Looks like it will be giving you many years of great work!
Mark
That chipper is Awesome
Great video
Thank you 🙏🙏
Linda from Ct Usa🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great channel to watch in self-isolation thanks for the content Mark
We brought a Hansa chipper the next one down from yours just love it - good on ya Hansa - Marks videos are fantastic you deserve the Hansa chipper Mark I hope you got to keep it- good on the kiwi’s
Mark, I really, really love your new toy :) Its a great addition to your garden.
Thanks Mary! Well, you've been supporting my content for a long time so you'd you know I love my garden toys! Cheers :)
Great video! I have been using the wood chip compost method for 1.5 years and have already seen them decompose into good soil. I enjoy your videos and I am now a subscriber.
Nice score, looks like a beast! Well done Hansa
After watching this video took the plunge and bought a Hansa C7. What a ripper 👍
You have to show your kids in videos more, I enjoyed seeing that you where showing him how to use the chipper. Good on ya for showing them, most kids just wanna stay inside haha
I don't even need a chipper, that models not available in the u.s.a. but this guy's is so awesome!!! I watched the whole review
Mate you are the epitome of a True oye oye bloke keepin up n livin the spirit of AUS. If anyone saw this video with you n your Hansa running around in ya garden the first this they'd wonder is where's the dam beer, Cheer's matey 👍
Those are brilliant chippers …. it's Kiwi made of course. I have the smaller model than yours and it too handles palm fronds with ease. The Honda motors are bullet proof but you will find that you will have to have the blades sharpened regularly and it pays to have that done professionally as it's important to get the cutting angle correct
Thanks for the heads up on sharpening the blades Lance. Yeah, I'll get a pro at the shop to sharpen for me then... Cheers :)
Good one Hansa. That's a nice piece of kit. I'll be looking at one of those down the track for sure.
Great stuff mark. I got this exact model about a year ago and its been fantastic. Easily handles all the palms, prunings etc on my acreage in Brisbane and easy maintenance too. Well worth the investment if you have a decent size garden and saves me on buying mulch for all the gardens in the process. Highly recommend Hansa.
Thanks for letting me know Steven! You've confirmed my impressions so far on this well-crafted machine. I was waiting for something to annoy me about it but it just "works" and I'm really enjoying the convenience of mulching everything whenever. Cheers :)
@@Selfsufficientme he
Thanks for the great video! After my dad bought a chipper years ago, I realised I should get one as well. It has been a great help getting rid of branches. I tried to use it as mulch at first but most of it is poplar and maybe it was a bit too acidic. Now I put it on my compost heap, toghether with cow poo and crushed egg shells, it turns into proper compost.
Something on my list of things to help around the homestead. Amazing how similar that is to a snow blower, just different blades.
Its so satisfying to watch the chipping waiting for more video
Congratulations on your new toy 😂👍 well done HANSA 👍
Good to see it can take palm fronds. I was looking at one website and the commenter was asking if it took care of palms and it was apparent that they didn't know what a frond was.
A gardeners dream! I'm so happy for you!🐍 I'm in the high desert, so lots of Brushy garbage bushes and rattlesnakes lots of rattlesnakes 🐍 so I can't leave any brush pile sitting around or I have to take a pitchfork and flip pile over a few times just to make sure.
That is awesome! What a great tool to use!
brilliant I am considering getting one now.
Well done Mark. You deserve a new toy!
Cracking video Mark, the chipper looks awesome and certainly had no issues eating up those palm branches. Thanks for the demo mate, and well done Hansa, it looks like a tidy piece of kit. Cheers Adam
Hey Adam! Thanks mate :)
I've got the smaller C7 and it is possibly the best thing I've bought for around the yard. It has done some serious work and is so reliable.
What a beautiful machine hope you have a lot of fun with it
Awesome i have been thinking about buying a Hansa will get one now after seeing this.
That is Awesome !!
I am happy for you !!
Definitely want to see more of the chipper!
He looks like he was having a lot of fun.
