PowerHorse Equipment For Sale

The storm left a pile of limbs at the edge of the property. The orchard pruning is done and the brush is sitting in rows. Hauling it out costs time and money. Chipping it on-site costs neither. That's the job powerhorse equipment was built for.

PowerHorse is a Northern Tool house brand backed by a company supplying outdoor power equipment since 1981. The lineup at Root Revive Direct covers two wood chippers: a compact 4-inch rotor model with electric start for homeowners, and a 5-inch towable powerhorse chipper shredder for larger acreage work. Both run 420cc OHV gas engines.

Root Revive Direct is an authorized PowerHorse dealer, so every order ships with full manufacturer warranty coverage and no sales tax outside Pennsylvania.

 

 

Why PowerHorse Stands Apart

Practical Design Features at a Value Price Point

  • Reversible cutting blade on the 5-inch model: When one edge wears, you flip the blade instead of replacing it. Less downtime, longer blade life, fewer parts to stock.

  • Electric start on the 4-inch model: The powerhorse 420cc OHV engine starts with a button. On a cold morning before a cleanup session, that matters more than most spec differences.

  • 27.6-inch width fits through standard gates: Most residential gates stop wider equipment. The 4-inch model gets through without disassembly or a second route.

420cc Power Matched to Homeowner and Estate Use

  • 420cc OHV at 3,600 max RPM on both models: Enough sustained power to work through mixed dry and green wood without bogging down mid-session.

  • On-site chipping eliminates hauling: The U.S. EPA reports yard trimmings made up 12.1% of all municipal solid waste in 2018. Running a powerhorse chipper shredder on-site turns that debris into usable mulch instead of a hauling bill.

  • Towable behind an ATV or UTV: The 5-inch model runs on 16-inch pneumatic tires with a 2-inch coupler. Move the powerhorse wood chipper to the brush rather than hauling the brush to a fixed location.

Navigating the PowerHorse Chipper Lineup

The 4-Inch Rotor Chipper: Compact and Easy to Start

The right fit for homeowners with routine branch cleanup and access constraints. Electric start, 4-inch capacity, 27.6-inch width. It goes where wider machines can't and starts without a pull cord. Compare options across brands in the gas-powered wood chippers collection.

The 5-Inch Towable Chipper/Shredder: More Capacity, More Range

The step-up for larger acreage where limb size reaches 5 inches and moving the machine matters. The 9-inch drum and reversible blade handle longer sessions without constant stopping.

One trade-off worth knowing: the 5-inch uses recoil start and a 1-year warranty versus the electric start and 24-month parts warranty on the 4-inch. Comparing towable options across brands? The towable wood chippers collection covers the full range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is PowerHorse equipment made, and who manufactures it?

PowerHorse is a Northern Tool + Equipment house brand, not a standalone manufacturer. The chipper lineup sold at Root Revive Direct is imported; the 4-inch model is documented as made in China. Northern Tool, which controls the brand, has been in operation since 1981.

Is PowerHorse a good brand for wood chippers?

Yes, for value-focused property owners. PowerHorse chippers deliver 420cc engines, 4- and 5-inch capacity, and features like electric start at roughly $1,560 to $1,820. They are well suited for homeowners and acreage owners, not all-day commercial or arborist use.

What is the difference between the PowerHorse 4-inch and the 5-inch towable wood chipper?

The 4-inch model offers electric start, a 27.6-inch width for tight access, and a 24-month parts warranty. The 5-inch model adds a towable frame with a 2-inch coupler, a 5-inch cutting capacity, and a reversible blade, but uses recoil start and a shorter 1-year warranty.

What engine does the PowerHorse wood chipper use?

Both Root Revive Direct models run 420cc OHV gas engines at 3,600 max RPM. The 5-inch towable is listed as a PowerHorse OHV engine with recoil start. The 4-inch rotor chipper uses a Ducar-sourced 420cc OHV engine with electric start. Both are sufficient for residential and estate use.

What warranty does PowerHorse offer, and what does Root Revive Direct provide as an authorized dealer?

The 5-inch model carries a 1-year limited warranty. The 4-inch carries a 24-month limited parts warranty with no labor coverage. As an authorized PowerHorse dealer, Root Revive Direct backs every sale with free returns, free lift gate delivery, and lifelong product support at no extra cost.

That pile of storm limbs at the edge of the property isn't hauling itself out. Neither is the brush from last season's pruning, or the growth along the fence line that's been sitting since fall.

A powerhorse wood chipper turns all of it into usable mulch on-site, without a truck, without a haul fee, and without waiting on someone else to show up.

Root Revive Direct carries both powerhorse equipment models as an authorized dealer. The 4-inch for homeowners who need electric start and tight access. The 5-inch towable powerhorse chipper shredder for acreage owners who need to move the machine and handle larger limbs.
