  • I cut up a few pine trees for next winters firewood, there were tons of branches left behind so I got the cheapest Tractor pto powered chipper I could find in New Zealand. It made short work of the job.
    I bought the chipper here- www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...

    Hi there Mary. ..from Marty. Love your videos. They are very helpful and inspiring for me. Can I give you a little tip? The next time the ram charges you give him a swift kick right between the eyes! I'm serious. It impersonates another ram charging back. Don't worry about their sculls, they're are built like a reinforced battering ram (pun intended). It was my only means of survival when in close quarters with stud Marino rams that wanted to run over you. I found most rams did not go past 3 kicks. They would shake their heads and walk off wondering what had just happened. You would get more respect from them next time too. But, don't leave one by himself in a race behind you! He clipped me from behind in the back of the knee and sent me flying. He probably went back to his mates and gloted..."I finally got that shepherd!"

    Hi. I used a 20 inch chipper on a Sydney council for about 15 years. We used to call those little fellas “pencil sharpeners”. They can still tear you to bits if you take your eyes off them.

Used to love the cold weather and played out in it like a fool same as everyone else, but now at 72 would rather be at home Indoors - lol.. Also miss my once log fires but our now my, retirement bungalow was updated with "Air Source" heating units so make hot water from cold air like a magician/ so. no need for logs as we dont have an open fire or stove - All Electric.. But, must look to the future I guess.. Just got a warning on my phone from the water supply company telling the coming thaw next week will bring broken pipes and water escaping If not careful, so that means the underground mains supplies breaking maybe.. Nice to look forwards too - lol - Thanks for the video Marty - Ian. Coastal North Essex - UK.

    In Germany the tractors have 2 power take-off shafts, one with 540rpm and one with 1000 rpm. We have the same chopper and always use 1000 rpm with little gas, so it doesn't clog. If your tractor is too small, you have to accelerate
    Sorry, my english isn't the best

    Really cool chipper! Made quick work of all the branches for sure. 👍 Looks like you could use some steel chaps for ram protection. Of a suit of armour.
