BX42S Three Point 4" PTO Chipper Shredder Product Review S4E70
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 ноя 2020
- Product Review and demonstration of the Titan Attachments Four Inch, Three Point, PTO Chipper Shredder attachment. I operated this with my 33 HP LS tractor and had plenty of power. It hardly loaded the engine. I went with the 3 point chipper vs the stand alone with it's own motor because It's something that I will use intermittently and I don't want to have to keep up with maintenance on another small engine.

Well demonstrated. In my opinion best video on this chipper. Bought one this week .
Thanks Patrick. I really like mine. Those chips are good for flower beds and mulching. Thanks for watchin!
I found this video very helpful, you are laid back and easy to listen to, you are a good communicator without any nonsense marketing agenda. Keep the videos coming, you are definitely cut out for this type of service, great camera work too.
Hi Ronnie. Thanks for the kind words. I like to do reviews on products that I've used and like. This chipper is awesome by the way. I have flower beds around my entire house and I used wood chips from this chipper to mulch for weed suppression. It's probably nearly paid for itself in the amount of mulch I would have had to buy. lol Thanks for watching and commenting.
Very well explained. Nice to know about the bolts, that helps a lot. Nicely done.
Thanks Tim.
that is one nice toy Darren, all those chips for gardening, lucky man
Thanks KC. Yeah, no more buying mulch. We have a lot to mulch now too. Should save a bundle if the wife goes for the chips. Thanks for watching.
If your chipper produces long shreds, try adjusting the bed knife. Have it positioned as close as you can to the chipper blades and remember to sharpen it when you do the blades. Cheers
Thank you. I just bought one today! Wish I had seen this before so you would get credit for the sale…
You will like it. Be sure to get you plenty of grade 5 sheer pin bolts. Good luck!
I had about 300 branches of a Cedar Elm tree trimmed off a power line right of way. The knarly small branches out at the ends quickly clogged up the discharge. After tediously trimming off some of the small branches with my chainsaw, I stumbled onto a workable solution: I hold onto the small branches and feed the big end down the hopper as far as big chips spit out the discharge, then I pull back on the small branches out of the hopper and put them in the discard pile for further processing (a neighbor has a gas powered chipper that will handle these smaller branches efficiently). This lets the machine do all that obnoxious "trimming" work for me, and I have not had a clog in the discharge using this procedure. It sounds like it might be unsafe, but with ear, eye, and hand/arm protection, and standing to the side of the hopper, I have not experienced any danger.
My experience is that you have to watch out for a lot of green leafy stuff with the smaller twigs. The green twigs just bend and don’t chop so they tend to clog. If it’s dry wood it chops it right up no matter the size. I actually ran about 20 bags of leaves and twigs through mine into a compost pile. You can’t jam a lot in at once. Someone commented that I trimmed my branches before chipping to prevent jams, when I actually trim them so I have nice chips without twigs that I can put in my flower beds. My wife is freaky particular about things like that. I have ran many whole limbs through, leaves and all and the green leafy limbs you have to be careful because they will clog up fast. If you limb them out into smaller bites, it will work better without clogging.
This is an exact copy of a my Wallenstein chipper made in Canada Wallenstein make durable hi quality products! Mine is identical in size to yours except i have hydraulic roller feeders! I think the problem with you cutting 4 inch rounds is it feed to fast which you can't control! I just adjust adjust the Hydraulic control feeder so the wood is chipped at a feed rate and never had a sheer pin problem! great video I am going to adjust my shaft to a horizontal position as you recommend !
i have one of these, same model , ;it is a chinese copy of the very expensive Canadian Waldstein chipper . it is very well built and rugged . i was using it today and went through 3 large piles of alders in about 2 hours. i too have sheared some bolts, it protects the gear box of the tractor. i run at the min require hp of 18 pto hp. the knobs at the end of the chute comes loose. ch

Darren, good to hear from you. Thanks for your video and that definitely looks like a good machine to have around but I’m allergic to those because it takes too much work to use them. lol
Thanks Don. It's a workout clearing all the downed trees. Feeding that chipper will warm you up pretty quick too. lol Thanks for watching.
very well put together machine. I don't own one of them, but from what I see, it's very well put together.
I have a 3 pt pto driven wood chipper, but it's not put together as well, but m8ne only cost me 400.00 for a 7in wood chipper, made in China.
Yeah, it's built well and has heavy guage steel. It's solid. I wish the sheer point was a little more robust though. If I would buy some mm bolts instead of those cheap grade 5 5/16 home depot bolts, it would probably be better. Just have to not push it with the big 4" stuff as much.
My experience with shear pins is for sure to use the right grade to avoid damaging the machine but snug them right up tight so there isn’t any play, none. Never liked using lock nuts but used a lock washer and nut. Saw one today and was interested but I have a lot of brush and softwood. Not sure if it would do the job or if I’d spend half my time unplugging it. Glad I searched it out and came across your review. Good job. Thanks.
Thanks for the tip Lyle. I'll be sure I get it good and tight next time and maybe they will last longer. I've learned that with green limbs with leaves and small twiggy stuff is where you're prone to clog. Things that will compact and restrict air flow. The really small green wood doesn't chop, it just kind of wads up and shoots out and that's what clogs mostly. Cedar bows are another clogger you don't want to shove a lot in at once. I cut most of that part off and burn it and I use the bigger limbs up to 3" for wood chips for my flower beds, so I don't want all that unsightly stuff in it. I do shoot the whole thing leaves and all into my compost though and it breaks down nicely.
This looks like a mighty nice piece of gear indeed brother. I can see where would make short work of any brush pile. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Hey MP, how's it going? Man, it is awesome. Purchased it with this year's honey revenue. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for doing this Darren. I’m gonna keep my eyes open for a good used one. I want to buy a small one now just for leaves and small limbs if I find a deal. You did a great video on it too, very thoughtful and thorough. Thanks again.
Hey Ronnie, yeah, it's a really good setup and super heavy duty. I ran 3 bags of leaves and twigs through it, and it chopped them up nicely. I started on a windy day and they were blowing away as fast as I put them in, so I waited a few days for the wind to calm down and it stacked them up nicely. Thanks for stopping in and have a happy Thanksgiving.
@@JeromeBeeFarm I got ya. I’m trying to get more focused on making compost. Mine isn’t doing good so far but I am still staying with it!
I thought it looked pretty good compared to mine. lol. I have a video ready to post tomorrow afternoon and there’s a shot of my compost situation. I need to get some more leaves before they all blow away. Been working on trees forever. I’m about tired of cleaning up downed tree limbs.
@@JeromeBeeFarm Man I bet you are tired of them trees. You had a rough fall already.
I think I should have covered my compost. It has ants in it in some spots. Covering would have kept them out and made the compost work off faster I believe.
I did a mission project this past weekend with the church and I have about 60 bags of leaves haha. That is why I want a shredder.
I am going to make a Johnson-Su Bioreactor to start doing my compost in. I just got to put it together. Hopefully I will be able to film it. It turns the compost to a fungal community and you can use it to make a tea to spray on your yard, fields, gardens, etc. You can add it directly to garden and also coat the seed in it. I have been researching that a lot over the last year.
Pretty cool tool ya got there. Thanks for the review. Stay safe and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey Mr. CB. Yeah, it's awesome. Thanks for watching, and you have a happy Thanksgiving too!
Thanks for the video. very helpful. On sheer pins. The bolt you are using is sheering in the threads. Where threads are, some of the shaft is cut away and therefor weaker that the full shaft. either get a longer bolt so the sheer point is on the shaft or a bolt with shorter threads. Your sheer capacity is reduced because of the threads AND loose fit because of not tightening it. Good luck.
It's hard to find those long shoulder bolts, and the true metric part number. I just go with the grade 5 stuff from Ace. I also saw recently that TSC started selling fastners by weight, so I may go with some of those next time.
Fantastic job on the review and demo. Thank you.
Thanks Eric. I’m really happy with it so far. It got a workout this last year with all the ice storm limbs. Thanks for watching and commenting
Just received my chipper last night after waiting for 3 weeks, your video was an asset to me. After finally getting it operational ( had to shorten my drive shaft and that was a step I was hoping I’d sidestep) I engaged the pto for the first time on my tractor at idle and then raised the engine speed to the targeted rpm. Now here was my first lesson, while at speed I tried to disengage the pto just to work the lever because it was stiff from never being used and then framed it back in and heard a bang! Broke my first sheer bolt!!! Lol! That didn’t take long.. lesson learned, slow the engine down before reengaging the pto. Thought I’d share that with you and your viewers .. thanks again, I’m off to get my hand full of sheer bolts!!!😁😁
Hey Eric. Yeah, I had to shorten one of those PTOs for my tiller. That was no fun and I broke my vise lol. Any attachment you should RPM down before engaging and disengaging PTO. It’s easy to forget. I think I’m down to two sheer bolts. I need to grab some more next time at the hardware store. Thanks for following up and commenting with user tips.
Feed it slow, one branch at a time like he’s doing in this video. Feeding too much, too fast is the number one cause of problems with chippers. If you’re breaking shear bolts more than once in a while you’re abusing the machine. Safety tip: Put your bucket down with the leading edge where it will dig in if the tractor tries to move forward. Do that any time the engine is running and you’re not in the seat. Also, keep the chipper on the ground when you’re using it.
That’s a good tip on the bucket. I started putting both my gear and shuttle shift in neutral. So if one gets bumped it won’t take off. Those grade 5 bolts are pretty wimpy. They get weak over time and snap even with smaller branches. I typically don’t put anything larger than 3” through it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
That ice storm cost you $1,800. OUCH!! That will be a handy tool for a long time the way it looks. What surprised me was after chipping up quite a few branches your pile of chips didn't look that big. Most of your trees in OK are fairly hardwoods aren't they? I'll bet you could put a 6" piece of popular through that chipper. Oak not so big!
Have you got 1/2 your honey sold yet? I'm down to a handful of bottles now. When I had 350 looking at me and having never sold a bottle before, I thought I was in trouble. LOL. Have a great Thanksgiving Jerome and it's good to see your still alive and healthy.
Hey Russell. I actually purchased it before the ice storm with honey revenue. I guess the timing was good. lol Yeah, I've probably sold about half of my honey. I have a lot more though. Sales have slowed way down. On my place it's mostly elm, red bud, hackberry, and blackjack oak. Thanks for stopping in and have a great Thanksgiving.
sad to say I had no idea there was a chipper PTO option! Thank you!
Hi Dorrell Creek Farm. Yeah, it’s amazing the attachments available now days. Tractors are also being fitted with skid steer attachment capable and hydraulics to run front end loader attachments as well.
Great looking chipper.
Thanks Rick. Yeah, I'm really happy with it.
I bet it's come in useful cleaning up after that big ice storm you guys had last month.
Yes it is. Perfect timing on that deal I guess. lol.
Good rule of thumb if u want to chip 4" get a 6" chipper if you want to chip 6 get a 8" chipper. ..I've had all and my only issue was trying to run them with anything under 30 hp...and you really had to baby the chipper.. or you will brake pins or stall the tractor..
Yeah, I seldom chip anything 4". Occasionally there may be part of a limb that size that goes thru there. My tractor is a 33 horse and it doesn't slow down at all. I think those pins weaken over time. Just get used to changing them. Thanks for watching.
Interesting I have the EXACT same machine except it's marketed by TMG industrial. I feed 4 inch all the time and haven't broken a shear pin yet. I wonder what's different? Like you I separate the clean branches for clean chios then I run all the twiggy branches through just to reduce the volume to a small pile. Nice video thanks for posting!
I got this one from Titan Attachments. You might make sure you aren't running a grade 8 bolt in your sheer pin.
@@JeromeBeeFarm I'll check but it's the one that came with the machine. Thanks
Rather than the shear pins, why not get a slip clutch pto shaft?
That’s the way it’s built from the factory.
Hi Jerome, I just bought this chipper and was glad to see your review. Can you direct me where you buy your shear pins at? When I look only there is a ton of confusion about shear pin sizes. Thanks for the video!
It’s just a common 5/16 x 1 3/4 bolt. You can get them at any hardware store. I think a 2” long one will work as well. It came with a metric bolt 8mm I think. Just be sure you get the silver colored and not the gold/brassy colored ones. Silvers are grade 5. The gold are grade 8 and could damage the chipper or your PTO.
enjoyed your video and advice--bought some shear pins just now! But do you have any suggestions for how to install the discharge chute--it seems I need about 3 more arms to get it put together. The two layers of half rings--are they supposed to somehow be centered on the detent ring top of the base chute?
Thanks M&M. Yeah, that chute install was a pain. I remember just getting it all together with the bolts loose until I got it all positioned and slowly tightened it up. When you pull that lever down, you can rotate it and then it pops in the detents and locks. Good luck. lol. I’ve found those sheer pins get weak after they have been in awhile and sometimes will snap on smaller limbs.
I have seen on other videos that it is recommended to run this at highest rpm to avoid clogging and bolt breakage. Have you tried this?
Hi David. I only run mine at 540 rpm. I’ve only had it clog one time and that was with a bunch of green leaves on a big branch. Green leaves and cedar bows tend to clog it, as with any chipper. To run it faster would mean a lot higher engine rpm. 2509 engine gets me 540 and I really don’t want to run the engine much higher than that for extended periods. If I break a sheer bolt, it’s usually on a big limb and hard dry wood also chips harder than green. Thanks for watching and commenting.
sorry, my back space button was stuck and erased what i wrote. my chipper has skid type footies and when down the shaft is level. it comes very well packaged. the hardest part is getting the pto shaft the right length. you need a grinder cutter wheel or sawzal. i guess you could do it with a hack saw. the instructions are very clear if you can read chinese, just kidding. these chippers are a bargain, chipping is not fun it is work. i chipped some 5 inch alders today with no problem , they were green and soft wood. wear heavy winter work gloves your hands take a beating.
Yeah, I remember i did have to shorten the PTO. I used a sawzall with a metal blade if I recall correctly. I really like my chipper.
can you drop it for a while down here in Houston :-) i currently have 7 truck loads of wood chips dropped that just dont seem to moving fast lol
😂. It’s a lot of work, but worth it in the end. Take care.
Should the machine not be resting on the ground?
You want the PTO shaft straight.
anything 3" and above should be stacked for the wood burner to heat your house, the twigs get bundled and sold as kindling, everybody needs to find more income, right. David UK.
Hey David. I have an outdoor fire pit area where we do camp fire cookouts, and I stack the big stuff down there for that. I burn up the little twiggies in the same spot. Our fireplace in the house is natural gas. My wife can't take any smoke, it makes her really sick just to get a little wiff of smoke, so we just went with the gas. Thanks for watching and commenting, and stay safe.
Sure beats my gas chipper.
It’s a beast. lol.
Note that the branches he's feeding are all trimmed, which takes much more time than the chipping operation itself. This trimming operation is required on manual feed chippers like the BX42S to speed up chipping and to avoid hangups in the flywheel housing. Interestingly the larger BX62S does a much better job of pulling in the branches, but the chips are larger and some twigs pass through untouched. If you try to feed branches that haven't been trimmed into the BX42, you'll spend lots of time feeding the chipper because the flywheel doesn't pull them in. Having a chipper with hydraulic feed rollers makes a huge difference in reducing the time and effort of chipping branches that aren't trimmed, and it will provide more consistent sized chips for landscaping and other uses. The BX42S is a good entry level low cost PTO chipper for those who don't mind spending more time trimming or chipping and removing clogs. If your time is more valuable, go for the hydraulic feed type chipper.
You DO NOT have to trim the limbs. It is NOT REQUIRED. They feed through no different untrimmed and run through fine. I trim the limbs so I don’t have twigs in my chips so I can put the chips in my flower beds.
@@JeromeBeeFarm Glad to hear it -- the main thing is that you're happy with your machine!
Thanks. I’m very happy with it.
I feed un-trimmed branches into this chipper all day long. It pulls them right in.
You made a video ona wood chipper? lol
Yes, and it's spectacular.
@@JeromeBeeFarm lol
Has anyone tried this on bamboo?
No but works great on making hamburger meat
He hee i don't like it, i really don't ! its useless ! I would take it back ~ shaft drive wood chippers i seen, really throws them out. BIG TIME. Winter coming next week! Got most of the leaves burnt I was wadding around in them a few days Knee high. It was so thick with leaves around here, i couldn't even mow them down. ~ Have a Happy Turkey Day !
I swept up a lot of leaves and put them in my compost. Happy Thanksgiving.
I was told by my implement dealer that the unit should be on the ground. If needed, Set the chipper on logs or a pallette so the shaft is flat.
Too much work, matches are faster 🔥
Yeah, I burn a bunch too. I mainly got it for the wood chips to mulch flower beds and around trees.

Bam 💥
@@JeromeBeeFarm Had to chuckle on that one!! Thanks.
replacing a shear pin with a grade 5 bolt is dangerous
How is that? That's the grade of metal it is to begin with. I think you may mean grade 8.
I need to apologize for this post. I just got a new piece of tractor equipment and it does call for grade 5 Shear bolts. So everyone please be careful and see what your equipment calls for as way too strong a bolt could be dangerous
Almost every other piece of equipment I've ever seen or heard of takes a grade 2 shear bolt
