Nice video, it's good to see something in operation before buying. It looks like your safety flap in the hopper is upside down, when compared to others. It should touch the bottom of the hopper to reduce material kick back. Thanks for posting.
Nice machine Mike! Those pine needles are not funny! It does the same on my wood chunker! So I better run small amounts at a time followed by hardwood, so heavy chunks will clear the chute. Have a nice day!
How's she goin'? That is a great looking chipper Mike and you will make good use of it I bet!!! Too bad about the shipping damage, but it will get marked up with use anyways. Making chips is a great use of scrap brush. They are great for landscaping, ground cover and trails. The tractor doesn't seem to be bogged down when chipping either and that has to make you feel good too!!! Take care!!
Nice machine. I'll be making a video with my B2601 and Woodland Mills chipper soon! There's just something therapeutic about chipping limbs and brush. Maybe you can attach something permanent to the bottom of those skids? Hey did I see a Club Car DS there? :)
Yeah, I may attach something permanent to the bottom of the chipper. Some brands I looked at have adjustable legs to do just that. Yes we do have Arnold Palmer edition EZ GO golf cart. My first electric vehicle! Good eye, Cheers!
Great looking setup you have there! I was wondering if you shorted up the toplink on the 3 point hitch or moved it to one of the lower pin holes you might not have to add the blocks of wood under the chipper for it to sit level.
Good evening Sir, you have great tire on your tractor how do you like them ? That is a very nice implement for sure !!! Thank you for your review Sir !!! Still 4 inch is somethings !!! Keep up the good work !!! Cheers !!
@@peacefieldfarm_mn Good morning Sir, it is the first time that I see a pattern like that !!! These a great looking !!! Cheers and have a good diner Sir !!!
Please don't walk in front of that exhaust chute while the machine is running! I have the same machine and have seen chips exit after being hung up inside for a while. A larger chip in the face is going to make your eyes water! I'm generally pleased with mine but they bind up so easily. Green material, especially smaller branches (twigs) are a nightmare. Good luck to you.
Question for you Mike -- do you wish that you would have bought a chipper with a mechanical or hydraulic feed instead of the gravity feed on your unit? I'm trying to decide if it's worth the extra money. Let me know your thoughts.
I am happy not having the feeder on my chipper. There have been very few times gravity alone did not feed the chipper. For me, it is not worth the extra money. Good luck with your decision! Cheers!
I chip slabs from my sawmill with my BX42. You sometimes have to shove the material into the chipper where a feeder would maybe do it for you. BUT, it's no big deal. Certainly not an $800 deal for me.
Have you tried chipping anything other than perfectly straight branches? These low cost chippers don’t have any feeding mechanism which makes me doubt if they can handle Y shaped stuff, etc. I have watched dozens of videos and all of them, just like you, show chipping previously prepared and sorted perfectly straight material.
Hi Nikolay, there are several factors involved. More flexible wood might not need pre-trimming the Y branches. Even if you had a feed, it would depend on how wide the chute is that the branches are being pulled in to whether or not the feeder would break then up. For me, it is not worth the extra cost to get a unit with a feeder. If I were doing it as a business, where time is money, I would probably get a feeder. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
A number of reasons. Severe drought here has banned burning. Burning wet limbs is a pain. A source of free wood chips, I don’t have to spend time cutting long limbs into manageable pieces for a burn. But that’s just me. Thanks for watching!
@@peacefieldfarm_mn it was a good video. But it would never work for me . Just cleared 200 acre for pasture . At that rate I would have been 3 years chipping limbs .
