Q:Hi, I have a Green-Power/Gentron GWC8420 15HP 420cc wood chipper with manual recoil start. I see that the GWC8420E version uses electric start. Is there an electric-start conversion kit available for the GWC8420, or can I purchase the starter, flywheel/ring gear, charging components, wiring/key switch and battery hardware used on the GWC8420E? If so, could you provide the applicable part numbers and pricing? Thank you.
Q:Where do you get replacement blades for the gentron 8420e 6" drum chipper? Nobody has them in stock. I am a NASA cerified machinist and tool maker(also equipment and device designer). I can make my own I guess but will manufacture them for you for usa distribution if you are interested.
Q:1. What is the reduction ratio of this model? Other similar models are in the 15:1 to 20:1 range but some are as low as 8:1.
2. Can the unit be towed on highway roads if the speed is kept moderate (e.g. <40 mph)?
Q:Compare APWC420 with GWC420 wood chipper. Thanks

A: The All-Power and Gentron are the same in specifications, engine, and woodchipper. The only difference is the color. Some of our customers prefer this style better, and it is easy for us to offer. There are different options on the engine you can select, features such as electric start or California CARB certification that can change the unit. But both brands are nearly identical at this time.
