Here in Australia the Government has been importing 100's of thousands of skilled labors into this country each year from up-and-coming nations. The most impressive skill was the attempt to slide a 70cm round log into a 60cm hole. 10 out of 10 for the great hand signals. Great enthusiasm when climbing into chipper to show the log where to go. I would have never thought of that. Normally these skilled workers would be employed to travel down our highways in control of 60 tone heavy vehicles, it's great to see they have other great skill sets. Rumors are, that the 3 are applying to become international pilots for Quantas, Quantas is always looking to improve its standards with skills from other up and coming nations.
NOT OSHA approved! I was waiting for them to lodge the log in the throat, drop it on a worker(s) or one of the cables getting snagged and pulled in, or one of the guys who jumped up on the chipper deck (NOT an erea designated for workers) to get sucked in as they scrambled to shut down 1800 lbs of razor sharp blades and cutting drum spinning at 16,000 rpm fed by hydraulic feed rollers which all takes several minutes to wind down. All in all, careless to say the least.
What do we want? TO SHRED A TREE! How do we do it? VERY DANGEROUSLY! When do we talk? WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING AT MAX RPM! Why are you shouting? BECAUSE WE NEVER WORE HEARING PROTECTION!!!
Eucalyptus is the very worst firewood. It is oily and eucalyptus fires spit gobs of flaming eucalyptus oil out of your fire and into your house. A eucalyptus grove fire cannot be put out. A eucalyptus tree is a firebomb
Sara Llewellyn The chipper that they are using can actually handle some pretty big stuff. We have one just like that but I have seen and you can fit a good 20 inch log in there. Course if you do that it does take longer to get back up to speed.

Nobody would come up with them and enforce them if that wasn't the case.
I love how much more trust, respect, and freedom they are given here. I miss those better times. The freedom given up for safety is not worth it at all.
Looks like they have no choices about having the required gear. I mean shredding a tree that size, no options are provided by the locals, the city? they can't leave it, don't have proper safety gear, doing the best they can?

In some cases firewood is not even sold so it is necessary to dispose of the tree this way. We have a bunch of tree services around where I live, and the nearest sawmill is an hour and a half away. So if anybody wants firewood in the City here they would have to have it shipped. So in this case usually the tree services turn it all into mulch, and then they sell it to the city, or other third-party landscaping companies. I am not sure where this video was recorded, but I am sure that it is a similar case. Even though it gets blistery cold in North Carolina during the winter firewood is very hard to come bye. Of course the advantage for tree services is that they can charge their customers higher prices for tree work because that pretty much covers maintenance, and whatever mulch is left over that they don’t sell.
often times wood from residential areas cant be used for and wont be bought for lumber. reason, nails. folks drive nails into trees to hang bird feeders and stuff. one small nail can destroy a $3000 dollar bandsaw blade.
Чтобы было быстрее и легче переработать этот ствол дерева нужно было изначально распилить его вдоль! Потом когда дерево ещё стояло вертикально от корня нужно было ветки опилить! Тогда проблем меньше было бы!
no chainsaw trousers, no ear or head protection standing in the back to the chipper whilst its running, you can see all of the health and safety officers fainting! the list of failing goes on and on
Aw shucks, I was waiting for one of them duffises to dissappear into the blades & come out the upper chute as mincemeat.. Gee willakers, Missed it again.. LOL
I don't think safety first would be the right word to use here they clearly are unprofessional and don't care about safety I work in the Logging business and literally almost getting your arm caught in the feed rollers is not safe and if your gonna run a saw at least think about wearing chaps if my boss saw one of his workers doing this he would fire them on the spot
yeah let's buck a piece of the stem right in front of a log that's bouncing everywhere because the chipper isn't made for wood that big. Maybe if it knocks you in the head your brains might be working the correct way again.
I've always wondered why health and safety were so ott..... not only do they not work well together but they are constantly playing russian roulette with each other's lives.
holy shit how did they not burn up the chipper? this is what happens when you hire the cheapest possible labor. you end up creating more expense in the long run.

I can’t watch anymore of this,I feel like I am going to see a RED. MIST anytime now
They just broke every safety code that exists 🙄. When they both climbed into the chipper as it was in operation was the best 👌

No they are not cheap. I got a brand new 13 inch chipper and it's 62,000 so yeah they are not cheap.
that tree is huge like my arm and it's a thrilling Vermeer so a tree shredder is more pleasant than the vacuum cleaner. loud engine. love that roar.
I was waiting for this to be a video of a man going through the shredder

I love the part when the 2 guys were pulling at the log in different directions at the same time. Too funny.

BECAUSE WE NEVER WORE HEARING PROTECTION!!!
Lmao
Don’t you love the hand signals ? Hearing protection,2 out of 3, eye protection .Nana
I don’t know much about chippers but that looked extremely stressful to the chipper and that was a ton of fire wood there. Why did they waste it.
Sorry im 4 years late but they should of chopped it into smaller piece, it can damage the chipper, and these guys almost put there lives at risk.
Eucalyptus is the very worst firewood. It is oily and eucalyptus fires spit gobs of flaming eucalyptus oil out of your fire and into your house. A eucalyptus grove fire cannot be put out. A eucalyptus tree is a firebomb
that green eucalyptus is the heaviest wood I know. That stump in the shipper must weigh 500 pounds
Looks to me like you are going to have one or more of your employees go through that shredder in the near future!
I always wondered how people fall into shredders....
here's an idea. take the chainsaw and slice the log in half lengthwise. Or get a chipper designed for big logs.
Sara Llewellyn The chipper that they are using can actually handle some pretty big stuff. We have one just like that but I have seen and you can fit a good 20 inch log in there. Course if you do that it does take longer to get back up to speed.
That is the right shipper know-it-all that that's a chucking. It can take a whole tree that diameter
It's always inspiring to see professionals at work
and then you see these guys.

I gurantee the dude running the chipper doesn't own it he is beating the shit out of it
