I have a 13.5 H.P. DR Chipper. After using this chipper for less than 5 hours, the bearing on the side of the chipper went bad. This is an extremely poor design. I contacted a person (John S.) through the online chat feature on their site, but he was completely clueless.
He did inform me that the bearings are $93. I have read several other complaints online, about poor quality junk being manufactured by American Country Products, but this is my first time seeing it for myself.

After several emails back & forth with Country Home Products, They sent me a new bearing for my chipper. I emailed them links to a few internet forums, where we were discussing what happened with my chipper, and a link to this report, and they decided to send me a new bearing. I'm working on an updated kit, to replace the cheap OEM "Made in China" bearings.

We contacted the customer who posted this complaint. After discussing the situation with him, we came to the understanding that one bearing failed prematurely due to excessive material build up on the flywheel shaft.
Even though this customer is a second owner of the machine and the warranty is non-transferable with ownership we agreed to replace that bearing at no cost.
We assured the customer that this was not a typical situation and that he should expect many hours of use from the bearings.
