Disgracefully deficient chipper attachment and service
Bought a new Pro walk behind brush cutter and chipper attachment. The brush cutter was fine, save for a left brake that won't lock and very hard to shift wheel speed. The trouble was with the chipper. The key square slot in the pulley shaft and the pulley slot itself were badly misaligned. The key wouldn't even go into the pulley hole, so couldn't be locked down by the set screw. DR's tech advice was to get a pulley puller at my expense, pull the pulley, realign the slots, insert the key and set screw. I'd already lost a key in the forest, so they very generously offered to replace it. No other instructions, and I had to send multiple photos and videos to prove my point. If I couldn't do that, I would have to lug the 150# machine to some unspecified spot and have it fixed at my expense. They never offered and explanation or apology for shipping a defectively produced machine, or compensation, or replacement (their "warranty" is a cruel joke on you suckers who may think it's worth anything.) In short, other than to confirm they'd shipped a defective machine, they basically told me to fix it myself at my expense (which voids the supposed warranty.) An absolute disgrace of a product and even more disgraceful service. Never, ever use them again.
