SuperHandy 4-Inch Towable Wood Chipper 15 HP Electric Start (GUO141)

Turn Heavy Branches and Brush Into Manageable Wood Chips

Take on demanding property cleanup with the SuperHandy GUO141 Tow-Behind Wood Chipper. Powered by a strong 15 HP 420cc OHV gasoline engine, this heavy-duty chipper processes branches up to 4 inches in diameter and reduces bulky debris into compact wood chips.

The convenient electric-start system gets you working quickly, while the recoil starter provides a dependable backup. A large 21-by-14-inch feed hopper, three-blade disc cutting system, and 15:1 reduction ratio help make clearing storm debris, tree trimmings, branches, and overgrown brush faster and more manageable.

When it is time to move to another work area, connect the included tow bar and 2-inch ball coupler to a compatible ATV, lawn tractor, utility vehicle, or tractor. Large 16-inch pneumatic wheels provide improved mobility over uneven ground.

Powerful 15 HP Performance

The 420cc OHV engine delivers the power needed to process branches, limbs, and brush up to 4 inches thick. With a rated operating speed of 3,600 RPM, the engine drives the disc-style cutting system through demanding cleanup projects.

Electric start eliminates much of the effort associated with starting a large gasoline engine. The recoil-start system provides a valuable backup if the starting battery is discharged.

Heavy-Duty Three-Blade Cutting System

The GUO141 uses a high-speed disc cutting system equipped with three durable CR12MoV chipper blades.

This configuration cuts branches into smaller chips efficiently while producing a material-reduction ratio of up to 15:1. That means approximately 15 containers of unprocessed debris may be reduced to roughly one container of chips, although actual results vary with wood type, moisture content, branch shape, and feeding conditions.

The resulting chips can be easier to transport, compost, dispose of, or reuse as suitable landscaping material.

Large 4-Inch Chipping Capacity

Process branches measuring up to 4 inches in diameter. The large 21-by-14-inch feed opening provides room for brush and irregularly shaped limbs while helping guide material toward the cutting chamber.

For smoother operation:

• Feed the thicker end of the branch first.
• Allow the cutting system to pull material at its natural rate.
• Do not force material into the hopper.
• Trim excessively wide side branches before feeding.
• Feed large, smooth branches slowly to avoid overloading the engine.
• Avoid feeding excessively hard, dry, dirty, or contaminated material.

Actual capacity can vary depending on wood species, hardness, moisture content, knots, and branch shape.

Direct Wood Chips Where You Want Them

The discharge chute rotates up to 270 degrees, allowing chips to be directed away from the operator and toward a collection area, trailer, compost pile, or landscaping location.

The adjustable discharge guide changes the vertical trajectory of the chips, providing additional control over placement. Always lock the chute and guide securely after making adjustments.

Towable Around Your Property

The GUO141 includes a removable tow bar and 2-inch ball coupler for convenient movement between work areas. Its 16-by-5-inch pneumatic wheels help it travel across lawns, gravel, dirt, and uneven property terrain.

The towing system is useful for connecting the chipper to a compatible:

• ATV
• UTV
• Lawn or garden tractor
• Compact tractor
• Other properly rated utility vehicle

Important Towing Notice

The tow bar is intended to make movement around a property or worksite easier. The manufacturer does not identify this machine as a DOT-approved highway trailer.

Do not tow the chipper on public roads or at highway speeds unless road use and the permitted towing speed have been specifically verified with the manufacturer. Always confirm the tow vehicle’s capacity, secure the coupler properly, and follow applicable laws.

• Residential and rural property cleanup
• Tree and shrub pruning debris
• Storm-damaged branches
• Farm and ranch maintenance

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the largest branch this chipper can handle?

The maximum rated branch diameter is 4 inches. Actual performance depends on the hardness, moisture content, shape, knots, and side growth of the branch.

Do not feed material larger than 4 inches into the machine.

Does the engine have electric start?

Yes. The 15 HP engine features electric start and an onboard starting battery. It also includes a recoil starter that can be used as a backup.

Is the battery included?

The electric-start battery is included as part of the machine. The battery cables must be connected correctly during assembly before using the electric-start system.

What does a 15:1 reduction ratio mean?

A 15:1 reduction ratio means the machine can substantially reduce the volume of branches and brush. Approximately 15 containers of unprocessed debris may be reduced to about one container of chips under suitable conditions.

Actual reduction varies according to the material being processed.

Is the chipper self-feeding?

The disc cutting system helps draw properly prepared branches into the cutting chamber. However, it does not use a hydraulic feed roller.

The operator must control the feed rate and should never force material into the hopper.

Can it process leaves?

The machine can process leafy branches and brush. Large amounts of loose or wet leaves may accumulate in the hopper or cutting chamber and cause clogging.

For best results, combine light leafy material with suitable woody branches and avoid overloading the feed hopper.

Can the discharge direction be changed?

Yes. The discharge chute rotates up to 270 degrees, and the discharge guide can be adjusted vertically. This allows the operator to control the direction and trajectory of discharged chips.

Never direct the chute toward people, animals, vehicles, buildings, or the feed hopper.

What size hitch does it use?

The GUO141 includes a 2-inch ball coupler and tow bar.

Can it be towed on public roads?

The manufacturer does not identify the GUO141 as a DOT-approved highway trailer. It should be treated as property or worksite equipment unless highway use and an approved towing speed are specifically confirmed by the manufacturer.

How much does the machine weigh?

The assembled chipper weighs approximately 348 pounds. Its packaged shipping weight is approximately 441 pounds.

Does it arrive with engine oil?

Do not assume that engine oil is included. Check the oil level before every startup and add the manufacturer-recommended oil as required.

Never start the engine without the proper amount of oil.

What type of gasoline should be used?

Use fresh unleaded gasoline meeting the engine manufacturer’s requirements. Never use stale or contaminated fuel, and do not mix gasoline with engine oil.

What is covered by the warranty?

The manufacturer provides a 12-month limited warranty covering qualifying defects in materials and workmanship. Normal wear parts, misuse, improper operation, unauthorized modifications, and failure to follow maintenance instructions are generally excluded.
