I’m Jeremiah come along with me as I work on the family farm in North East Pennsylvania doing projects and having fun! Projects can vary from repairing equipment to planting crops and harvesting and everything in between.
Mine just arrived a couple weeks ago, cannot get it assembled, the first step for the lower hitch arm, all the plates the bolts must go through the holes do not line up? did you have this problem?
seems a few people are having issues with the shear bolts. why they put them on is beyond me. they put a slip clutch on the stump grinder why not on here.
The problem I see with the slip clutch on here is that if it slips the chipper will most likely be plugged and from my experience with them it would end up being a problem all the time. I would like to see if it could work though.
@@Jerefarms the slip clutch is to protect the tractor in a chipper application. There should not be any failure points to the chipper. A slip clutch or shear bolt won't do any good if a knife hits the bed knife.
You collect hay for the horses ? Should you fertilize meadows with slurry from farmers raising dairy cows or pigs? Do you use an aerator roller and sprinkle lime with magnesium so that the soil does not become acidic and moss does not grow?
the oak didn't do that to the blades. there was metal in the oak, nail or something. that's what sheered the bolt. and trying to run with that fast of feed and dull blades sheered the second one. slow the feed down some. and never chip old dry hardwood lumber! if you need to test it use a pine 4x4. machine is made for green wood not dry hardwood lumber. if it wasn't metal in the oak it was metal somewhere. wood doesn't do that to hardened steel.
Somone else mentioned that their flywheel deflected enough to hit the bed plate and I’m thinking that’s what happened to this one to. And the second time it was about as slow as it goes. And I agree with the dull blade making a difference.
Have been watching the reviews of the 810 since its introduction as I'm in the market, the nearest rival but more expensive is the Wood Maxx 9900, have seen no such issues with it.
Wood Maxx just had a terrific father's day sale with free shipping so not wanting like you to take a chance from what others have experienced with the 810 I went with the USA made and patented direction.
The only times I have had an issue with a shear pin the feed roller has been turned down. The pump doesn't provide enough flow to have consistent rotation on the roller. I just use the handle to stop once or twice and it has been fine since I have used it that way. I thought about drilling and tapping the current "teeth" on the infeed roller and adding sharpened "teeth" with small v notches to help grab the wood. Some pieces are a little stubborn to keep feeding. Cutting what you are going to feed on somewhat of an angle also helps as it acts as a ramp for thing spring rather than trying to open it up all at once.
Where you see the ding in the blade, check if it lines up with the end of the anvil. Mine has the same and did from pretty early on and I think its from deflection in the flywheel causing the blades to skim the anvil.
@@Jerefarmsyeah don’t try setting the gap to the minimum distance it says in the manual, you’ll definitely be hitting. I would be setting it close to maximum gap
Jury is still out, on paper looks like a great chipper, but the limited usage reviews thus far are mixed like the issues STUFF ' N SUTCH! is experiencing.
So far it’s been good for me. I have about 20 hours on it so far. I have sheared one shear bolt by running a oak 2x8 thru it. Planning on putting it to the test, hopefully in the next couple days.
Chopper probably just needed to get shined up a little. If the field was smooth cutting it with a haybine may of worked better possibly faster for all the trouble you had. Sorghum is good silage, I chop around 50 acres each year!
I just got mine Monday. Have about 4 hours on it so far. I’m running it on a tractor with 65 pto hp and it doesn’t even notice it. Had 4 or 5” limbs go right thru with no problem. Only thing that stops it is to big of y on a limb that it won’t break but thats just normal stuff. Very impressed so far.
@@Jerefarms I couldn’t make up my mind between the 88 and 810, I was nervous getting the 810 because it is so new, not many out there with one. No info on issues or anything, hopefully it is as good or better than the 88
Nice video guys, not to judge. But could u maybe not have so much music playing the whole time and maybe slow the video down and explain what u are doing. Good job though
Looks just like our Acorn unloader in our 14 ft silo. I need a front auger and a gear for the ⚙️ gearbox. Looks exactly the same. Made new doors for the silo and kept them all in order. Guy that helps us out just threw them anywhere, and then got pissed off when they would not fit!😊
