Buying a Cheap Tractor Powered pto Chipper to clean up branches and reduce fire risk.

- I cut up a few pine trees for next winters firewood, there were tons of branches left behind so I got the cheapest Tractor pto powered chipper I could find in New Zealand. It made short work of the job.
I bought the chipper here- www.trademe.co...

The wee one asking "Are you going to grease it?" was the best. Equipment maintenance learned young.
I smiled as well
Love the video.glad to.see the David Brown earning its keep
That's enough 🤣
instablaster...
'Look mummy! Daddy's bought something that isn't broken!!!'
Haha.. He doesn't often see things so new and shiny around here
But did I see the wife roll her eyes?
@@MartyT great video...but the sheep 🐑 is there to keep you on your feet..lmao
This hilarious comment indeed lol 😂
Haha, now that’s funny🤣👍
Your sons enthusiasm reminds me of my baby brother, he’s sometimes eager to help out and loves tools and big machines
LOL... that last "bong" was awesome!
I love his videos when he shows the youngins, they are so cute, First time I have seen the wife in a video. Nice family Mr. T.
Forget the chipper, The David Brown is purring like a kitten and running great
Needs a headlight and repaint to look it's best. Nice to see the excavator being put to use. That damn sheep lol. I wonder if that's how they came to be called rams ?
@@briananthony4044 a ram is a male sheep.
A female sheep is a ewe
Hard to believe that Marty T bought a "new" piece of equipment. Wasn't there a vintage abandoned V-8 powered chipper somewhere, just begging for a new home? Lovely family Marty T...best to you mate.
I was disappointed when I saw it was new.
@@nikmaison And made in PRC....
@@kxtreme1942 and made out of Chinesium...
Totally agree, lucky man.
@@nikmaison 😂😂
Takes me back, one man, a lovely lady, and two wonderful little girls.
The same as me many years past bringing pleasure to them.
Enjoy it while it's there.
From Texas USA, love your channel Marty. Keep it up. Love your homestead
It was great to see your family at last, I was beginning to wonder if you lived on that mountain on your own.
Had to smile when everyone started helping you unpack it.
Your youngest looked like he had never seen somthing so shiny and new!
Hmm, I thought ‘New” was a bit of a departure for the channel. Not in keeping with its main thrust!! Les in UK
New! Kid was jumping with excitement.
Maybe it was the bubble wrap. That stuff is like sugar for kids.
Ahhh the memories come flooding back!! RIP Rambro........
A great video. I loved the kids comments. You have a lovely family.
Cheers, Marty from USA. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Loved the comic relief at the end with the sheep. Good video.
Fantastic machine, just love how excited little man was, that's why they're called boys toys, it don't matter how old you are, they are still great. The sheep was getting a bit angry with you, just goes to show how much damage they can do, most people here think they're harmless.
He loves heavy machinery, I think he's inherited my illness ;) .. Yeah the rams are powerful brutes
Here I am thinking Marty was about to break out , the welder , a big grinder , an old axle , and shed load of metal . 😋 . Excellent stuff Marty , good to see the family , and young angry ram again . You need some groin protection now fella . Keep up the excellent work and content . 😁😁😁 .
Had a ram like that once. Finally had to pick him up by the scruff of his back and body slam him! It took about 3 or 4 times and he was done! You'll still have to watch him around your wife and kids, though.
Never seen a kid MORE excited than the parent on new toy he had just bought...priceless.
Nice comfy sunday and I could be doing some things. Instead i watch this comfy video and just let time pass by :)
First time seeing your family - that really brightened my day! So cute!
Always good to see your family. Like to see your son helping dad out once in awhile.
The woodchopper is great, the sheep ram is determined to give you a good laugh and break a kneecap too.
Hi. I used a 20 inch chipper on a Sydney council for about 15 years. We used to call those little fellas “pencil sharpeners”. They can still tear you to bits if you take your eyes off them. Keep an eye out for stress cracks. Even our big Vermeer would split here and there. Great investment, mate.
I herd of cases in south australia of a person going thru a council chipper.
And a few times i seen timber handle plastic leaf rakes go thru along with brooms 😂
@@southaussiegarbo2054 Yeah we lost a few plastic rakes and even a couple of aluminium grain shovels. No people though😁
@@mickburns5546 i wont mention council but the work aera(an entire main road) got blocked off for over a km to direct traffic bc it became a crime scene. Word was the guys yelled for their mate who they thought was in cab when he never replied etc they looked to see blood dripping etc.
@@southaussiegarbo2054 not where you want to be😞
@@mickburns5546 no it isnt. The workers couldnt call the boss to tell him cops rocked up at depo and told him and told the blokes wife to.
Rip to that poor man
(He wanted to be creamated so they burnt the chips and all
I like how the family is involved . You have found someone great hired hands. Keep the videos going. God bless.
i love how the kids enable you "so cool, so cool".
theyre keepers, for sure.
There always seems to be a ram in Marty's videos, mostly hydraulic but this time grass-fed!.
Did you know? Marty has another channel about his rams called 'angry ram' ..fun to watch the rams with the big boxing bag hanging from a rope 😁
@@leeharris3061 I thought I was watching Rambro’s Dad, it all looked familiar.
@@leeharris3061 I think DODGE should suport this channel, Dodge Ram, lol
I bought the same chipper in response to an ad for a Canadian brand name model. It turned out to be a Chinese counterfeit (no serial number), but it uses the brand name parts and works well on my 21 hp Kubota.
Some tools or machines should be purchased new and a chipper is one, far to dangerous to have an old abused over heated shaft or cutter drum fly apart and ruin your day. Well done Marty I’m with you on this one
Best part look at your Christmas present. Lol Greetings from TN USA
I appreciate you sir. Thank you for sharing your skills, knowledge, and experience.
I was on a mini vacation about a week ago and as I was driving past a hops farm I noticed that they were selling the exact Ford tractor I've been wanting for decades. I have no need or space I just want it.
Tractors are very interesting to me, I'm grateful for all of your videos about them. You are very good at troubleshooting and I learn something new from you quite often. Thank you and God bless you and your family
Good on ya for greasing it before use. Ive seen way too many bearing failures on brand new equipment fail from lack for grease. I try and explain to people that they only put just enough grease in them from the factory to keep them from rusting on the shelf.
Quite surprised u bought new.always seem to buy old and use u're amazing skills to make like new
He gave me a good deal
Boy that David Brown sure brings back memories! About 40 years ago I was boarding my horses at a farm that had a big DB. They used it mostly for haying. Sir David Brown made some beautiful roadsters too, even if not always the most reliable. Thanks for a memory!. Stay healthy. Cheers, Steve/Ohio/USA
That ram has some manners to learn one way or another. Nice update and thumbs up to you.!
The gleeful woodchipper dance. I do it often myself.
“That’s Mum’s early Christmas present”. Mum looking somewhat less than gruntled!
You have a lovely family, Marty! God bless you all!
Nice bit of kit for future works, also nice to see your family Marty, all the very best to you, and the herd!
I'm always amazed by how nice the cleaning rags and cups used are, is Mrs T. aware...
Great job. I can't believe your wife didn't appreciate you getting her an early Christmas present 🤣
Another job well done. Your David Brown is really running great and the new chipper was money well spent. Thanks again for your time and videos.
I like how versatile your David brown tractor is, you buy a wood chipper and the bloody thing bolts right up to the pto on your David brown tractor, I think that David brown tractor will out live that brand new wood chipper, what a must have, to own a David brown tractor like the one you have, a for ever tractor, God's Peace
I've been watching you videos for months and I find them so calming and a pleasure to watch really enjoyable thank you
Next up, diced mutton stew recipe.
Correction ‘freshly chipped mutton stew recipe’
Love the “ding” of ram skull on chipper housing at the end, lol!
You have a beautiful family my friend. I think this is the first time I've seen them.
Cheers!
well thats sorted which one to pick for xmas dinner.!
The happy dance while opening was AWESOME LOL!!!
Worked the chipper for a tree crew for a couple years, you really dont wanna feed the chipper with your hands closed round the wood. Open hands or fists to suss jams and a second branch to feed the last of the first one.
Ah another working toy for dad to play with and it's nice to see the young people taking an interest in what dad's doing for the equipment
I like that gong at the end! That could be your signature sign off!
Yes, shocked! "Hard to believe that Marty T bought a "new" piece of equipment" always interesting, thanks Marty 😊
Hah! love the pet sheep, we had a merino ewe that loved to play the butt game. She lived for 16years, They make great pets.
Surprised you didn't fabricate your own out of spare take-off or broken parts from your equipment saves. lol. I'd have been tempted to toss that sheep in there after about the 3rd time he rammed me.
Scenes from the movie FARGO flashed through my head. 😏
Bravo for having ear defenders for the little one!
Hi there Mary. ..from Marty. Love your videos. They are very helpful and inspiring for me. Can I give you a little tip? The next time the ram charges you give him a swift kick right between the eyes! I'm serious. It impersonates another ram charging back. Don't worry about their sculls, they're are built like a reinforced battering ram (pun intended). It was my only means of survival when in close quarters with stud Marino rams that wanted to run over you. I found most rams did not go past 3 kicks. They would shake their heads and walk off wondering what had just happened. You would get more respect from them next time too. But, don't leave one by himself in a race behind you! He clipped me from behind in the back of the knee and sent me flying. He probably went back to his mates and gloted..."I finally got that shepherd!"
Have been thinking of getting one of those chipper's for a while, as i constantly make a burn pile with branches. Good to see both Browns in action.
I've been looking for a cheap second hand chipper for months but they never seem to come up for sale. I can't burn here, I live in the middle of a forest
@@MartyT Yeah i noticed you had a few trees about. 😉
Nice work Marty.. I did smile at your wood chopping efforts for next winter, nothing wrong with that but we had a fair amount of snow an minus 1 and colder temperatures this past week or so, with a trip into town not so long ago (around 8-30 PM UK time) and the compressed snow on the side roads In town are thick sheet Ice as the very cold wind blows In off the sea there/ My driving was cautious on the sheet Ice not courageous as I had a 6 week old Great Granddaughter, Granddaughter and her partner on board taking them home.. Used to love the cold weather and played out in it like a fool same as everyone else, but now at 72 would rather be at home Indoors - lol.. Also miss my once log fires but our now my, retirement bungalow was updated with "Air Source" heating units so make hot water from cold air like a magician/ so. no need for logs as we dont have an open fire or stove - All Electric.. But, must look to the future I guess.. Just got a warning on my phone from the water supply company telling the coming thaw next week will bring broken pipes and water escaping If not careful, so that means the underground mains supplies breaking maybe.. Nice to look forwards too - lol - Thanks for the video Marty - Ian. Coastal North Essex - UK.
Enjoyed the family cameo. Your wife and children seem dear. Stay safe.
I have the same unit from Titan Attachments here in the US it sells for about $1800 US you got a great deal. That’s about what mine. Cost on a Black Friday sale a few years back.
Really nice to include you children .great as always mate👍🍺🍺
Making sweet compost for the garden.
When I saw you swing that first log near the boat I'm holding my breath and thinking, don't drop it on the boat! Then I saw you had it with the grapple. >Grin
I used to throw a quart of water on the ram for a couple days then a squirter gun with water was enough
I was just thinking you need a chipper as I have watched you take down a number of trees on the property... handy
I love the ending. The *hunk* was exactly what I wanted to hear!
Yay he's back. The ram.
The little apprentice was so excited with the new machine. I enjoyed his feelings 🇦🇺👍😉😁😘
When your chipper outfeed plugs up like that it is a sign you are feeding wood into it to fast. Let the chips clear the chute before feeding more into the chipper.
That sheep will be going in the chipper if he keeps that game up 🤣
Usually the PRC label (to me) is a red flag, but this unit appears fairly decent. Keep us posted on how it holds up!
3:36 when you're less inclined to care about the paint, grind the top, where the riser plate for the bearing is welded, and weld the top as well, on those (both sides). That's a stress crack waiting to happen.
Edit: to clarify, i'm talking from experience, i welded the same type of machine (this one was red with a slightly larger wheel and aperture intake) for my neighbor. The weld had cracked at the PTO side, towards the chipper evac.
Good advice cheers
Interesting because a friend bought a flail mower with a 15hp engine to tow behind his ATV to "top" his paddocks. He got three paddock lengths done when a weld broke and the disc drive arrangement fried the PTO V belts. Being a retired engineer he took one look at it and returned to the dealer forthwith. He stated that he wanted a new one to replace it, and if the dealer could spare it, the old one to experiment on..pointing out that there were one or two other areas that needed simple gusseting to stop obvious failures from occurring in the future. He completed his topping with the new mower, then started reengineering the old one. He returned to the dealer who inspected what he had done, took photos and sent them to the factory. The factory sent him the first revised design topper free of charge and refunded his original purchase price....
now you know why a sheep herder had a good stout walking stick to place in front of you when they go to butt so they but the stick not you. :) how many do you have is it just the 3. i used to have a pet ram. used to love to say hello with a butt in the knee and he had horns that could smart a bit. :) i do miss having them about. Victorian lawn mowers. we have perfect grass on the mountains in wales. lol.
love your videos. wish i could live the life you live. :)
One thing to double check each time you use it is if there is any play forwards/backwards on the flywheel as the keepers can slip with the constant impacts of pushing a branch in. Not a major issue other then bearings going bad faster unless the gap between the blades and the anvil closes to much.
That makes sense thanks
nice of them to give you some angle iron for future projects or repairs right there in the packaging. if you just leave that pile of chips there for 2-3 years, turning them once a year, you'll have some awesome compost to spread around your yard.
Yes I thought about making a workbench with the angle iron, just need to bold a slab of timber on top
@@MartyT that's the first thought i had too. it's already about the right height for one. you can use what you cut off of the leg when you adjust for height to make an angle brace at the corners. but if i had something to fix right away, i'd use it for that instead. free virgin steel angle doesn't grow on trees, and i hate cutting one thing up for materials, and having to splice pieces together up to fix or build something else. i do enough of that.
Hi Marty, I bought this chipper 7 years ago. Overall it's ok, you just have to be careful with wet material and very thin branches - the outlet is blocked. He works for me as a producer of bio mass for the boiler room, but now I am thinking of buying something bigger, I have to liquidate my apple tree garden, about 7 ha. Greetings from Poland to you and your family. Andrew.
The angle on the deflector at the end of the discharge chute makes a huge difference to the airflow and therefore to the ease of discharge of wet/dry materials from the chipping chamber. Does it really matter if the pile is a little more spread out? Open that flap up....the straighter the flow the better.
Hello from Ontario Canada I have a chipper and learned over the years not to put dry brush through it. the dry brush dulls the blades really fast. And through trial and error I learned how to sharpen them I don't know about where you live but here there quite expensive the blades. Good luck in all your endeavours keep up the good work enjoy the videos very much.
Yes that makes sense, I do have a blade sharpener so can give them a touch up if I need to
Man, $1000 for a chipper like that is a good price.
That DONG at the end cracked me up.
Good to see the family. All seem interested and excited about anything new! Glad you didn’t let ANY of them help out. That’s one dangerous machine that can pul an arm in.
Perhaps some knee patches for the boy might get him trough another outside rough play year - haha.
David brown sounds GREAT! Chipper will definitely come in handy for you every year!
It was nice to see the family 'chipping' in!
That ram still hasn't learned his manners yet huh? Looks like maybe time for mutton stew! But great find for the chipper!
I was thinking the same thing, wondering if he had some onions to put in it
you never met the others did you? he has videos on all his rams. they have since passed away. these are the offspring you should watch them. this is nothing
@@scubaguy5389 This was Thunder right? Wonder if Dodge is still around?
@@BMAWG1968 I don't quite remember. I know he had offspring. May want to ask Marty t
About 2 headbutts from the wooly rascal and I'd dispatch him to another dwelling place.
I have one of these chippers. They work well so long as there aren't to many needles or leaves. Otherwise they bind up as you showed. I keep an 18mm box wrench with me to remove the bolt needed to open it up to remove blockages - unfortunately I have to use it a lot. Was interested to see how it worked on pine limbs with relatively few needles. Works much better that it does on the douglas fir limbs we have here - way too many needles that really plug it up.
That chipper works very well for the cost.
HAHAHA!! Oh he'll let you know when "that's enough"! And it sounded like he gave the ol tractor a good bye kiss at the end of the video, too. Haha a fine job,sir.
Yes I heard the bang at the end as well.
Really cool chipper! Made quick work of all the branches for sure. 👍 Looks like you could use some steel chaps for ram protection. Of a suit of armour.
love watching your channel..i can't believe what u have got in so little time.. love seeing kids out with u...
Amazing patience with that animal.
Nice and cheap way to get a warm house, with chips and a woodchip oven!
Once you start, you will be looking for things to chip from now on. Save the chips for use around/on the garden paths. The deeper the chip walking aisles, the deeper you can make the beds. Raised beds without having to make borders from wood or other materials.
I have the same wood chipper. Works still pretty good after 6 years.
how delightful. i was hoping for a marty t for my birthday and i got one! thank you.
@brian moore HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥳
Me too :-) Happy birthday!
Nice chipper! Mine is a bit smaller - 4.5" maximum diameter branch capacity. Mine does not have any access to clear a clog! I learned the fastest way to clear a clog is to pour a bucket of water into the running chipper - works every time. Thanks for making the videos.
good purchase Marty , i know the novelty wears off really quick and yes it becomes a solid workout, when your limbing trees, you got lots of mulch, my friend had a sheep like yours there and he wouldn't stop even if you were out of his pen and so we took an electric cattle prod to him soon got the message , my buddy had to keep the grand kids away, it would knock them over and his son wanted to skin and kill it ,LOL, 👍
" Are you going to grease it ? HAHA ! Thanks for sharing Marty glad to see you !
Came to your channel because of the hydro-electric project, but now see your self reliance going every bit the better. Just wondered about using a rocket stove and possibly milling wood into planks and possible having your own stash without all the need for firewood so much? Love your work ethic.
Marty great investment it gonna save you money and time it pay for it self in the long run
not truly self feeding no feed rollers but good for your application and as you say a bit safer than a drum type or true feed roller type. have fun and be very careful..
Nice investment Marty, that will help keep the place tidy and proving good mulch for a flower garden and the paths within a veg plot.
That ram would have a quick look at a baseball bat if it kept doing that round here....especially with young kids around.
Looks like a great addition to the homestead...
