I’m impressed that thing handles a log that big. Looks like you made a good score.
Once I bought a dust collector at a garage sale, brand new never used for $100. Congratulations to all the winners!
Good buy Evan. Certainly useful on the farm. Reminds me of Fargo ND and the bad guy trying to run the dead guy thru the chipper
I bought a 1960 Massey Ferguson 95 Super at Auction. It was totally rebuilt and restored. It looked like a brand new tractor. A great, great buy! Auctions can sometimes be a treasure find.
What a great deal on the chipper. It look new. Who ever had it took good care of it and I know you will. Another useful addition to the homestead. Thanks for sharing. Congratulations on your new purchase for the homestead.
Nice buy! We asked the guys trimming power lines to dump their chips for us to use, got 4 loads from them one summer. We mulched everything! Makes wonderful paths and trails in the woods!
Dad broke down and bought an old 1 row corn chopper for $1.00at an auction and stripped all the tin off the front of it. That pig ate a 12" walnut log like it wasn't even there! The old Ford just grunted and squatted at first bite and then proceeded to chew it up!
Great purchase Evan! That'll be a work horse for ya when you need it. Congrats to all the winners! Keep the videos coming! God Bless!
Congratulations to all the winners of your 100K giveaway. Looks like you did good with your bid on the chipper, read and heed the safety instructions on using the chipper, the wood can snag your clothing and you NEED to know how to stop the chipper. Stay safe and have fun working with the equipment you'll like it. Fred.
You did get a good buy on your chipper. We used a Jinma chipper for many years and it served us well. It was very similar to yours, although yours does have many improvements. That extra set of blades would have cost you over $250 to buy. Be sure to view the CD and read the user manual carefully when it comes time to reverse your original set of blades. Yes, they are reversible. I believe you will find out that the extra bolts you found are mounting bolts for the new blades. They looked hardened. And, if they require hex wrenches, then it is 90% that is what they are for. My wife and I both enjoy your videos. You and Rebecca remind us of ourselves, 30 years ago.
I’m having a country view acres marathon tonight keep up the good work Evan
I don’t think I’m the only one having chipper envy…great find….
Check and clean out you chute after every use as if your chipping green wood, leaves, etc they tend to plug the chutes up because of the sap, moisture in the material. Dried limbs leaves chip up much easier and goes thru the machine alot better. But you got a great chipper . Those extra bolts may be extra bolts when you change the cutter blade out.
That's right. Not suppose to use old bolts with new blades.
I agree about those bolts, but they could also be shear bolts for the machine. Best that you go through all of the information you have for it Evan, it should be in there what they are for. Very nice looking machine however you look at it.
Dry limbs dull your blade faster, DON’T chip dry limbs!!
Looks good, thanks for sharing your experience!
That's one of your nicer purchases! And the TYM seemed to handle it fine as well
The yellow handle looks like a safety bar that has been installed incorrectly.
I'd expect the pushed away position to be what stops it, not pulling it.
If it pivoted about the centre rather than the end that would reverse that disabling rod.
I've got a MX-8800 and it's a beast. I've used it solid for 3 winters in a row and there's very FEW trees it wouldn't eat. All I can say is WEAR EYE PROTECTION, a face shield if you can. That thing can flip a tree in any direction violently and the first time you get whipped by a branch in the face, you'll wish you had that shield on.
The hour meter was not working on this one. So I couldn't tell how many hours were originally on it. But I don't think it was very many.
@@CountryViewAcres For the most part, it looks nearly new. You got a killer deal on that! That should lessen the sting from that hay wagon. BTW, one thing I would check is that if you lift it all the way on the 3-point lift, that it's not bottoming out the PTO shaft and compressing it. Mine had to be shortened to fit correctly.....and they have directions for doing that, but mine still ended up wanting to bind up the shaft when I lifted it. There's like a single magical dimension that works perfectly....at least on my Kubota that was the case.
The feed roller is the difference between tiring homeowner types of chippers and units for professional use. When you're paying employees or charging customers it makes all the difference. Good buy !
Evan oh I love that machine and it's powerful
Came for the log. Stayed for the chipping.
I have one Evan, use the new bolts when you change blades, you’re going to love making your own mulch.
Love your channel. So relaxing to watch
Those bolts might be for the blades. I worked trimming trees for the city and our chipper required for the bolts to be replaced every time the blades were changed. The blades could be rotate once but weren't supposed to be resharpened. Be sure to read the manual on that.
I'll agree. I own a tree service & I have a 12" Brush Bandit chipper. With the double sided knives, you reuse the bolts when you flip them. You have to use new bolts when you install new knives.
Most large (>5") chippers require a bolt change with every blade change....and be sure you torque them properly.
Nice find, the chips seem to be fine in size which will make for fast compost.
Great score on your part! Surprised to hear you say maple is not good for burning...we consider it a hardwood and use it in our stove all the time!
The bolts may be for the chipper blades. Many times those bolts are a torque to yield bolt and therefore a one time use only
very good video, thank-you
Really proud of both of you ❤
Hibid is great. Absolutely great score! Anything under 50% of retail good.
Hey Evan, been a long time subscriber. Love the great content you provide. Never have commented any any videos but I had to on this one. I actually work for Woodmaxx as parts manager for many years now. Great deal you got on the WM-8M
Nice buy! Like you said you just don't know till you try it out. Looks like a good one! Congrats on the 100K!
It will eat!!!😮
I like those chips. Good fire starters for your firepit or add to your animals bedding, flower bed or garden.
If you have ever had any thing to do with wood chipper the extra bolts might be for the blades
Congratulations to all the winners. I know you are going to enjoy your prizes. Great score on the wood chipper. I can see this as being one of the most used machines on the homestead. Have a Blessed day.
Well done on winning the chipper auction got a good deal there. Ralph from Wales UK.
Great buy! 👍Thanks for sharing!
Good find seems to work for what you wanted it for.
$1100? Wow, I'm envious now!!!!! You see another one, you give me a holler!!!!
About time somebody sold you something you didn't have to completely rebuild before you could use it.
Wood Chips will always make good compost for enchantment to the garden and food lots.
Very impressive piece of machinery.
Evan, I recommend you to check the manual of that wood chipper. In my opinion it's allowed to chip only fresh wood with max diameter. The dried one should have smaller diameter.
Looks like you got a good deal on that chipper. That is one thing that would be nice for us to have but we wouldn't use it enough to justify it. It will definitely be well worth it for you. Great video like always. Thanks for sharing.
It’s a great piece of kit. Finally using the tractor for what it’s worth.
You can use the wood chipper to grind corn and make small batches of corn silage, or haylage and even bedding for animals
great find. Good patience and searching for what you need.
It looks like a pretty good piece of equipment!
I have the previous model of yours. Mine is hydraulic (Woodland mills). I don't chip 8 inch as I burn anything over 4 inches. The extra bolts are for the replacement chipping blades. My chipper is at least 10 years old. I have only replace the blades. In regards to some wood not going in, Check that there isn't a pair of limbs off the main piece of wood. The teeth of the infeed roller will not pull the limb in. You can see it in your video at 9:17. you can see where the infeed roller was stuck, spinning. You can pull it out, cut it off, or lift the infeed roller and push the limb past the roller. cheers Jeffrey
I misquoted the Brand New Price. A Woodmaxx WM-8M is $2745 plus $250 shipping. So $2995 for a brand new one, Still a pretty good deal to get is lightly used, like new 2017 model for $1265.
That’s cool, I haven’t seen one that works on the back of a tractor like that. Awesome
Suggestion, park right in front of your compost bin then aim the ejector straight in. Less to no clean up at all.
As to why it came with so many extra bolts. Chipper blades are held in place by stretch bolts so when you remove the old ones for blade sharpening or replacement with new blades you have to use new strech bolts and make sure you torque them to the correct f/lbs. It will say in the manuel. I am a estate gardener who is trained to use a chipper, on the chipper qualification course here in the England they make a big emphasis on the stretch bolt issue. Great channel by the way, love watching a good old square baler and hay rake work in your hay making videos. Thanks
@Betty Pearson. I give you huge kudos for doing what you already do! Wow! More fathers need to teach their daughters how to do these things. I can change a tire myself. Most women don’t. I’m not a farmer but not helpless. Keep going! You’re amazing!
i have a hydraulic feed and woodmax and it performs exceptional thanks for the great videos
Looks like you got a great deal. Works better than I expected it to.
Great buy and great break down of the wood into smaller chips.
Nice machine
I absolutely love my wood chipper. Have had a Woodland Mills 8” model for the last 3 years and have put hundreds of hours on it. Game changer!
Looks like you got a pretty good deal, nice buy, I would like to have one myself. We could use chips for our rabbits and chickens, we use the wasted chips around our plants, the manure and urine from the rabbits and chickens makes for a great cover for all the plants and vegetables. Great one Evan, thanks and have a great week.
Thanks 😊
Evan, the Wood Max is a good brand and I think you got a good deal on the wood chipper.
Good win on that chipper. I'm a big fan of gadgets.
Goodbye now you can trim those hydros back around the hayfield good job for this winter
Awesome buy. Makes me think of the movie Fargo.😉
Love your channel.
wood chips also make for a great fire starter when dry and they dry very quickly
I just realized you're a ferkin genius
Congratulations again like your videos please keep them coming and hopefully you will get more subscribers also congratulations to the winners
Nice find from an auction!
Another new toy for Evan, good one this time mate. NO REPAIRS
WOW Evan very nice deal! Very Handy! Love watching!
Thanks for sharing this one. I’ve been looking for something like this, myself.
Congrats on wining the new chipper. The extra bolts that come with the unit are probbly for the extra blades that are with it. You should always use those bolts if the old ones look like they re streched or badly worn.
This will make your life so much easier!
Good job...Chipper looks good and what a good deal you got....!!!!
Good find. Sometimes life hands you just what you need. Nice addition to the other attachments.
I bought that same model new a couple years ago. It's been a huge help around the farm, and with my tree business.
Been doing the same online auctions here in SE North Carolina. Great buy!
Good buy
Great video. All the best 🇬🇧.
Good job Evan , now get to work on that new wood shed !!!!!!!!
Eliminates a LOT of your burn pile use, AND, the added benefit of composting it. Great buy.
Spare bolts are for the blades, they recommend changing them with the blades. Nice score!
That’s sweet. Great addition to the farm. I’ve been following the online auctions too. I pretty conservative in my bidding but it can be fun. You need to be careful about the location because some are too far away.
As always Evan , a great win for ya , a pretty impressive wood chipper and another great attachment for the tractor 🚜
Great addition to your farm!
One thing I have to ask....in what universe is maple "not good firewood"?😳
Most maple is soft maple. Its fine but as far as good goes, oak, locust, sugar maple etc. Are all superior
I have the same model, had it for about 3 years, it has a tack and hour meter. I have about 70 hr on it. The only items I have problems with are compressible items like bamboo or tobacco stalks. Crooked limbs are also a challenge. Dry or green it does a good job. I use the chips around the farm also. I love it.
Hello Evan congratulations to the winners. Looks like your chipper works great. I could see some of the bolts where for the blades I'm thinking it has 2. You should check them a dull blade does not work good. I have a Vermeer bc700xL it's the Cadillac of wood chippers works awesome. Nice buy you purchased have a great night.
I bought a WoodMaxx a few years ago. Smaller one for smaller JD750. Mine is the hydraulic with reverse and adjustable speed. These are awesome chippers. Mine was made in Germany. Enjoy your content.
Nice machine brother 🤙 happy for ya. I’m excited to see you put it to work. Take care
Looks great ;You have a machine that is going to life a lot easier and nicer working the landscape !
All the wood chips ,if you chip them into the area that you want to thin out it should help keep some of the weeds down and moisture in the summer heat .
As it breaks down so also let help the trees grow nicer . You got a very very good deal !
This makes up for the last buy (hay trailer)! That is nice !
Niccccce! Glad you got it!
I have that same exact model, I love it! It amazes me what it can handle.
We have a small farm and need equipment from time to time. My husband participates in online auctions, but only those within driving distance so he can schedule an appointment and look over the item. Has saved him from bidding on items requiring too much work or something that has issues not disclosed.
That is super cool I have to say a great investment
That definitely looks like a great deal !
Now that’s one powerful chipper!
What up with your right eye? Wood chippers SCREAM safety glasses.
Love your channel!!!
Paint it red. 😊
Holy carp, that was a big piece. I have a much smaller one, so the burn pile wins 90% of the time.
Great find. Glad that you scored it. Wood chips for pellet smoker? Lol
