Hello. Thank you for the info. I have been looking for a chipper for a while. We have a 5 acre property, with about 3 acres of trees. I am "fire-smarting" the property. There is quite a bit of dead fall and dead standing brush and trees. To reduce the available fuel on our lot, we plan to chip into a trailer and haul the material to the landfill.
Jim, from central Alberta.
We will be using ours for years. You’ll need to decide if hauling chips vs hauling logs is cheaper. We are actually going to mulch the chips. Our area allows burning but we didn’t want to do that. If you have any other questions let me know. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe
Also if you don’t think you will use it enough Home Depot and Lowes may rent slightly larger ones. That may make more economical sense. You’ll need a big pile. The Home Depot by us rents chippers that can do 10 inch logs. There may be other equipment companies that would also rent to you. Only you can make the economic decision on buy vs rent. We have over 100 acres and it’s all forest so owning made sense for us.
Instead of Home Improvement, this is more like Forest Improvement
It most certainly is forest improvement. I’m learning a lot. We have some invasive species but not too much. And forestry is my style of farming. You don’t need to wake up early like dairy farmers. And crop harvesting is far less frequent. 😎
I love mine but I already had to replace the belts
How long did the belts last? The manual says to replace once a year. It does not say after 200 hours, 400 hours etc
@@ahbuildingafarmit was jammed and didnt stall out like its supposed to and smoked them at 8 hours
I also took the rubber Matt’s off because it was getting sticky on the sticks
I only have about 45 minutes on it so far. It got too muddy to get to the piles. And now here in East Tennessee it’s been thunderstorms everyday. Even today May 9 2024. Hopefully get to chip some more in the next week. Its supposed to be dry for 4 days before another period of storms
Wow…. The majority of what we will chip is probably 3-4” and only occasionally getting close to the 7” limit. Hopefully they last a year
When you're towing the unit those front wheels need to be up for transport mode.
Thanks and yes absolutely correct. I’ve forgotten to raise them several times now. I need to get into the habit of raising them as soon as I connect the chipper to the hitch. So far I have not damaged it and usually remember after a few hundred feet of towing Thanks for watching
How long did it take you to chip that pile?
How far does the chipper throw the shredded bits?
The time lapse uncompressed time was maybe 5-8 minutes. This machine chips really fast. If you have the chute set to be inline and tilted up I’d guess about 10-12ft. If you get a little wind you could do better but we don’t get much wind in either direction. We’ve used it about 5 more time since this video and thus far it’s doing great. Did a video today of my wife feeding it. She couldn’t go faster than the chipper either. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe
Does that chipper have a hydraulic infeed or self feed ?
It is gravity feed. However the chute is at a much steeper angle than many others so in all of the videos posted I rarely need to push. I only need to push if it’s really light branches getting stuck on the strips of safety rubber hanging down to reduce blow back pieces. Or if the branch has a big Y in it that snags. The chipping knives are flush to the chute so with the steepness the logs just keep moving in via gravity.
Thanks for watching and asking a question
