Perfectly clear "How To" and so very important. I just ordered my WL Mills WC68 after watching your first video. Now I am prepared if my chipper slows down and stops feeding. Thank You!
Great video, I haven't had any issue with feeding on my wc68 ,I try to generally just put single branches thru and when they have a y on them I just trim it off before putting it thru saving a lot of time rather then having to back pieces out , I have found it saves me time to just do a little more trimming in advance , so I can just run things thru the chipper without backing the branches out occasionally.
Well done. As usual I liked all the different views you took with your camera. It was a little anxious when you had the shot from inside the chipper chute as the limb was pulled into the chipper. 😳😱.......Thanks
I keep a small Makita battery powered saw nearby when chipping to quickly cut any crooks that won’t go through the machine. It’s far quicker than getting a big gas saw going.
I love my Woodland Mills WC88. You can’t bet their chippers for the price. I took my stand that it came on and welded 4 casters on the bottom (2 that swivel and 2 stationary) now when I am done with it I put it back in the bottom stand and I can roll it anywhere I want that’s out of the way in my garage. When I need it again I just roll it back to the garage door opening and back the tractor up to it, hook it up and off to work. Thanks for your video’s on this brand chipper. It helped me decide to get one.
Ed I love my chipper too, WC46. I put 3 hours on mine today, don't know what I'd do without it. Good job, and thanks for the tip on the drive wheel, I hadn't seen Sandy's video on that.
Love the way you just keep chipping away at that pile of brush Especially like the aerial view looks like a rocket ship taking off heading for space great video thanks for sharing
Great video very nice chipper, I've had a 8hp chipper/shredder for almost 25 years, best garden investment,☺️, the next best investment was a safety siphon(as seen on tv) lol. Lift the fuel can to sit on the loader arms and stick the hose in the tank, and giggle, 😲. So much easier...
Now that you took that plastic out I guess your garage is less cluttered. Good video. I need to Put a few more hours on my chipper in the next couple of weeks
Walmart carries a $10 fuel transfer pump that operates on 2 D batteries. I think you would like it for fueling up equipment, no spill and no holding the cans. It's stocked with the oils. They look dinky but try it before you judge it. I have one on the farm and one at home. It's also at Harbor Freight.
Nice job! Woodland Mill makes some really awesome implements for the rear, I’m glad you were able to adjust the hydraulic pressure and get it ironed out. If it was me I’d prolly just crank the screw all the way down and leave it 😂 don’t do that tho, I’m sure there’s safety reasons behind it not being turned that high. Those wood chips will work great in your shed, should def keep the moisture down 👍🏻
Good evening Ed. I see the loader on your tractor and one in the back? Did KTAC let you keep the bent unit? The 50 gallon transfer tank was one of the best investments i made for the farm just with i had gone a little bigger. I added two gas struts to put pressure on the roller of my woodmaxx to help it pull the stubborn stuff through better. The woodland mills was my first choice but i picked up the woodmaxx lightly used for a price i couldn't pass up. Thanks for sharing Ed - Richie
Hey Richie. I did get the old loader back from the dealer after it was deemed scrap. I *should* remove the cylinders and hoses and put them in storage. I actually got the Woodland Mills lightly used (like once) for a good deal too. Although I drove 6 hours to get it. I don’t mind pouring the container of diesel because I really don’t burn all that much 😄
@@MyClutteredGarage In my opinion the six hour drive was well spent considering the lead time on some attachments currently! Smart move getting the loader back for parts.
What about backing off the tension on the two large external springs on each side of the chipper? Would that allow the feed wheel (drum) to move up more easily and allow the same log to enter now that the wheel/drum will keep turning (after you trimmed the wishbone that is)?
Maybe. I have backed them off almost as far as possible. I wondered about putting lighter springs on. But you also need the springs to help give the in feed “bite”.
Not sure what that "bump" was at 0:55 as you went around the portable garage but is sure made me cringe! I was afraid something might have gotten bent but it looks like you shredded that turn without taking any chips out of anything. (Shredding....chips....you see what I did there?!?! 😉😂🤣)
What model kubota is your tractor? When you run the pto do you do something special to keep the kubota seat safety gizmo from shutting down the tractor since you aren’t in the seat? Mind telling me why you went with woodland mills instead of woodmax?
Hi. I have the Kubota B2601. You have to flip the seat forward in order to run the PTO while not seated. I didn't to extensive research, but I definitely wanted the hydraulic in-feed and WM has exceptional customer service. I also found this used used and saved almost half the cost of new. :)
@@MyClutteredGarage older Mahindra 25hp. Strong little tractor for its size. Been looking at them chippers for a few years. Just hate to buy one and not like it. Wish I could try one out first. The wc68 is what I’ve been thinking will work best.
@@preformancemustang what’s the HP at the PTO? Minimum recommended PTO HP is 20 for the WC68. The B2601 has a 26 HP engine and 19 HP at the PTO. I just limit the limb size to 3” and never had a problem. I can’t imagine that you’d be dissatisfied in any way. Mitch did a full assembly video on @MJA Doing Stuff. Maybe you can place an ad on FB Marketplace in your area to just see if someone has one you can check out.

Awesome! Good luck! You'll love it!
Good job ED. Glad your camera didn’t get chipped so that we can watch livestream on MONDAYS😀
That’s not beyond the realm of possibilities. 😄

Thank you. Just think how anxious I was! 😄
I’m jealous. All my favorite equipment in one video, including the golf cart! Nice job Ed.
Thanks David!

100% !!!
I have never had luck chipping dry wood so much faster and smoother green wood.
Hey David. Seems like there's a happy medium, or maybe it depends on the type of wood. I've had long green strips come through in the past.

Been waiting for the chipper video love watching it in action.

Apparently that set screw backs out over time. I was surprised how far out of adjustment it was.
@@MyClutteredGarage Definitely something to remember
I'm really glad I was here!
Thanks Ernest. Me too! 😄
Love the way you just keep chipping away at that pile of brush
Especially like the aerial view looks like a rocket ship taking off heading for space great video thanks for sharing
Thanks Phil. Yep, just “chipping” away at it 🤣
Looks like a lot of fun plus you get some work done in the process.
100% true! Thanks for watching! -Ed
Ok, now I get the gas can thing
That was fun Ed. Loved the drone shots and the ride a long with the dogs. Looks like they loved it too.
Full watch and a thumbs up.
Thanks so much, Gary!

Thanks BJ. I never thought I’d really use a chipper as much as I do!
A beautiful day for Yardwork! Got lots done today Ed!
Indeed it was, GP!
Great job on the fix and video! Really enjoyable to watch!

Thank you, Cayden!
"That's why you should never throw anything away" is not the kind of helpful advice I need it!
You know how it goes. Save it and you’ll never need it. Throw it away and you’ll need it tomorrow. Can’t win! 😄

@@MyClutteredGarage Somehow I thought that might be the case, as you showed zero reaction when it happened. Glad all was well!

Using a chInsaw that close to your legs you real need on a pair of chainsaw chaps.

I take it that is not a Harbor Freight portable garage? I need one of those!
It is indeed. I made several videos about it. 👍
@@MyClutteredGarage I will try and find them.
Nice video! I'm looking at the wc46 for my jd 3025e. Would like the wc68 but my tractor pto is rated at 17.4 hp. What is your pto rated for?
Hi. Mine is rated at 19 hp at the PTO. Woodland Mills can advise you. They have great customer service. Thanks for watching, and good luck! -Ed
I wanna try out one of them chipper so bad before I brake down and buy one. Wish I knew someone with one close to me so I could try it out first.
What tractor do you have?

@@MyClutteredGarage 22hp pto. Yea already tryed the space book thing. No one answered. I’m on the cost in NC Morehead city area.
Have you tried rental companies
With the tractor you have, why did you choose the 68 and not the 46?
The 68 has a bigger opening, so it’s nice for oddly shaped limbs. I just limit the size of material I put through it. Thanks for watching!
Great video will this chipper work on a B2650 Kabota?
Thanks Mark. Absolutely. The B2650 is a hair bigger than my B2601.
Having no knowledge of a wood chipper. QUESTION can you do any adjustments to change the size of the chips ?
Hi Herb. You can adjust the feed rate, which would in turn affect the size of the chips.
What’s a good price for a chipper that compliments this class of tractor?
Hi Nick. This chipper costs about $3,000 which is probably average. You may be able to get a gravity feed for closer to $2,000. Thanks for watching.
