Evan, don't know if anyone mentioned, to kill the stumps, 1" augur bit, the pour in one cup Javex/Chlorox, depending on which side of the border you grew up on.😎 Plug the hole with a dowel, carry on your routine. Best wishes from the far North.
Hello Evan,very interesting content video. I believe you are a true gentleman and you are very skill guy.I do not forget Rebecca wich is a wonderfull asset for your channel.I keep on watching with great interest.
I was raised on one of my grandfather's Farms during the 50s. He would be totally amazed at all this new equipment! We only had two tractors, on the nurse spreader and a bush hog, a plow and a hay baler. We had a 5-acre truck Garden that we tended by hand and carried buckets of water nightly after we got home from school.
Those wood chips are wonderfully small. If you have a way to thinly spread them in your pastures every year it will promote fungal growth, greatly boost your carbon load, organic matter, aeration, and symbiosis/diversity of soil micro biology. Cheers for the video. 🤙🏻
We put a 1/8” sheet of UHMW in the bed of our old truck bed that has a wood floor. Nothing sticks at all anymore. And it keeps the floor from getting wet.
If you have an old barrel set it over those stumps and put a layer of charcoal in and light it. It will kill the stumps and burn them down below ground level
Hi Evan, I am an old fart with a bad back. I suggest your ask your accountant if there are funds for a new, small 12" chainsaw. I have one and I use it more than my 20" by far. Much safer and easy to handle for trimming. You will hardly use your big chainsaw after this purchase. Good Work, and Thanks for your channel.
Perhaps a consideration that with a short saw one would have to bend over more. Whereas a long bar would require less bending over. No argument with you preferring the shorter bar in any case.
If a person was on a tight budget, it would be worth saving the structure. Aside from the concrete pad, what you'd have alone in lumber and tin to build the entire footprint you have there would be over $1,000 and easily pushing $1,200. I built a 12 x 20ft carport in similar style and it was about $500. I'm betting your structure is at least double that. Lumber may have gone back down since 2020 but metal is still up there.
Love your videos. I leave yours to the last to watch,to end my TH-cam period with a smile. First the content is always great. But I think the best part is show well you present the content. Sound,editing and video quality is always the best. Thanks for making my day, AGAIN.
You had two days of satisfying work. The wood shed looks great sans trees. They gave you some good firewood. The mulch will be good in the orchard and garden. All-in-all a good two days.
Take some of the scrap pieces of your T1 11 siding you use in your shop and lay it over the floor of the trailer , Then cover it with wide aluminum flashing material to make a slick floor for the material to slide out easier
Evan you need to get yourself a pair of filson double tin pants and some suspenders perfect for cold weather outdoor work and easier to manage nature’s call then bibs
Always enjoy doing this sort of work. It's hard but the result is so satisfying. If you're curious, look up the work of a French guy named Jean Pain. He developed a system of using wood chips in a compost pile built with black plastic tubing to heat his home. He went even farther and put a methane digester in the middle of the pile to produce natural gas to run the chipper. He piped the water at 125F into his baseboard radiators through the winter, then sold the composted mulch in the spring. How cool is that? I've never tried to replicate his work but the concept has intrigued me for years. It would take a LOT of wood chips though.
Evan you could save yourself a lot of labor by backing the dump trailer then hitting the brakes hard to make the chips fall free. Beats shoveling and saves a lit of time. You might have to repeat that a time or 2, but it will work. Gabby an old dump truck driver. LOL
I know the cost of steel isn't cheap but to put it down in the bed of the trailer would be better. After watching the last video, i ended up buying the same pole saw because of the way I used my old one was a total failure. It was fiberglass and it snapped the head right off. That's a pretty good size chainsaw you have there. I'm not sure which one I'm getting for my birthday. There are so many to choose between and my wife says I'm not getting any younger. Two days after Christmas i turn 70 but the old chainsaw is getting tired.
YOU guys are lucky because us over here in the upper penninsula of michigan we have a foot of snow on the ground and a storm brewing today DEC. 7th.....😒😒😒
Also if you have any sheet metal laying around you could put that on the floor to make it smoother and easier for debris to slide off. It helps sometimes to think like a lazy man. Saves the back ya know. 😁 Gabby
on the wide forked limbs, do what we call a curtesy cut on one of the side limbs. Cut half way thru the side branch and when the roller pulls it thru, it will fold back against the main branch and go thru
I have owned a Woodmax 8M for several years powered by a strong running 8N Ford tractor. I would not put this on anything smaller than the 8N mainly because of the weight. I rigged up 2 pneumatic swivel castors on the back to help out the old Ford's hydraulic system when transporting. This chipper has been a good investment for me and I would recommend. I am not connected to Woodmax in any way, and I paid full price.
As we've gotten older we have embraced the smaller "limbing" chainsaws. When chipping I keep a small saw and a pair of long handled bypass loppers next to the feed-hopper on the woodchipper for those wide angles that got missed when limbing up. We cleared about 8 acres for our orchard with a Woodmaxx WM-8H on a 35hp New Holland, 979 trees! The forestry helmet is important not only to protect your head and face, but your hearing as well. I learned quickly it's easiest to unload the chips from the dump trailer directly around the trees. What I would reference as a "grain shovel" is the best way to quickly empty the trailer. With woodchips, put'em on thick!... they settle down pretty quickly.
Yeah in my family we have completely come around to battery chainsaws for ALL limbing and chipping and cutting down anything at or under 12" Above that we'll still use the electric if it's just a few cuts. We probably use them over 90% of the time now. When we go at a pile of trees we have a 40v and 18v both with us. Between the two and a couple of big batteries each you can work yourself half to death for a few hours. There is absolutely NOTHING like just being able to pick it up and pull the trigger. No pull starting and just as good no screaming chainsaw noise. There are things where electric motors and batteries absolutely rock.
Great work. It always seems like what ever you try to do, takes longer than what you thought it would. Definitely worth keeping that wood shed around. Great video see you next time.
That seems to be a great little tractor. Not too big not too small and that 67 hp still has great ability. How have you enjoyed working it since you got it.👍👍
I was driving an 18ten wheeler moving gravel while being in university. When you want to unload your hydraulic trailer you lift it up move it a bit forward and than you back up just a little bit and hit the brakes. That will loosen up the load and let it slide down very easily.
My golf course superintendent and I wish we’d had a chipper like that this past winter. We cut down quite a few dead trees. A chipper like that would have made our job a bit easier.
It looks really nice around the wood shed lean to👍 I agree, it wasn't something that should've been knocked down as you have been able to utilize it so much. I remember I'm your very first video you had mentioned it would probably come down. Glad you realized it's potential
If you haven't thought about it yet, you need to make a 12v agitator/shaker and mount it under your dump box bed. It could run off of your trailer wiring plug from the TYM.
Hi Evan, your right, it looks like you ran a 291 Stihl chainsaw, if so they are heavy back breakers to run cutting small limbs. Back in the mid 80's and 90's I ran a .029 Stihl, close to the same, but our 291 just works my back, I leave my son to run it. That chipper is sweet, I think it's great, would love to have one, good job. Lot's of work, but your getting it there. Thanks for sharing, have a great week.🪵
I like using a gas powered pole pruner to de limb logs, it lets you get in and trim the brush off without having to crawl through the brush and stuff. I also try to keep the limbs I am going to chip in the longest length that I can, for me it means fewer trips to the chipper and quicker work as the chipper stays engaged more of the time.
Love the dump trailer but I think you need to find some kind of a thin plastic to put on that floor so it works better when you dump it love your videos keep them coming
This is no joke I have a STIHL chain saw I payed over 500$ for it and I bought a saw off Amazon for 160$ and it out preforms the STIHL in cutting and running wise it will run laps around my STIHL
A trick as someone who runs a chipper daily for work -- cripple the limbs that won't fit (barely cut through them so they fold). That way you carry the one limb still instead of 3-5 limbs.
Do you think it would make sense to furr out the wagon base with some other material, like masonite, in order to dump more easily? Love watching your channel and how hard you and Rebecca work in developing your property.
Love the work your doing, gives me ideas for what I can do with my little rk21 tractor. Just got the 54 inch mid mount mower and a piranha tooth bar for the bucket. Can't wait to get to use them all.keep up the videos and the hard work you do is inspiring to others. 👍
TYM, Country View Acres needs a backhoe attachment for that fine tractor. He needs to dig out those stumps behind the wood shed (move the shed back about 7-8 feet).
That woodchips is also good to use on the floor at the goats and chicken place :)
Definitely fix that shed up! Keep them old buildings maintained and they’ll last a long time!
Well, lots of work, but at least the trees/ Wood is right next to the shed 👍 bonus wood chips too🎉
Evan, don't know if anyone mentioned, to kill the stumps, 1" augur bit, the pour in one cup Javex/Chlorox, depending on which side of the border you grew up on.😎 Plug the hole with a dowel, carry on your routine.
Best wishes from the far North.
Well there was a lot of work to do but it’s all done. With plenty of wood chips and logs. It’s all ready made the wood shed look tidier.
Splitting the work into 2 days is probably wise. That was a lot of heavy work!
Hello Evan,very interesting content video. I believe you are a true gentleman and you are very skill guy.I do not forget Rebecca wich is a wonderfull asset for your channel.I keep on watching with great interest.

I watched you cut them down and boy the clean up went well, good job. Yes helmets and safty glass are what you need
Great Video. That Chipper is a beast.
We put a 1/8” sheet of UHMW in the bed of our old truck bed that has a wood floor. Nothing sticks at all anymore. And it keeps the floor from getting wet.
Like the video Evan on woodmaxx chipper .
that chipper is sure gettin' 'er done, keep safe...
I bet you feel very accomplished getting that Big job out of the way!! God Bless and have a Great Week!! 😊❤🌹
If you have an old barrel set it over those stumps and put a layer of charcoal in and light it. It will kill the stumps and burn them down below ground level
It shed is worth fixing, you did great on the barn
Need a wood shed or where else to go except around the back of the woodshed? Seems like a natural commodity around a farm like the wooden silo.
Hi Evan, I am an old fart with a bad back. I suggest your ask your accountant if there are funds for a new, small 12" chainsaw. I have one and I use it more than my 20" by far.

I have along bar on my saw because I don't have to bend over as far because of my back always doesn't allow me to all the time

Yay. Just sat down after a loooong day and get to watch my fav YT family
Love your videos. I leave yours to the last to watch,to end my TH-cam period with a smile. First the content is always great. But I think the best part is show well you present the content. Sound,editing and video quality is always the best. Thanks for making my day, AGAIN.
Great to see your useing all the protective gear , well done
You put in a lot of hard work. Wood shed looks so much better. Anxious to see the "new" shed with repairs and slat walls.
Very very nice chipper! Enjoyed watching!
You had two days of satisfying work. The wood shed looks great sans trees. They gave you some good firewood. The mulch will be good in the orchard and garden. All-in-all a good two days.
I enjoy your commentary, Evan. Good job, as always.
Take some of the scrap pieces of your T1 11 siding you use in your shop and lay it over the floor of the trailer , Then cover it with wide aluminum flashing material to make a slick floor for the material to slide out easier
The wood chipper done a nice job!
About time for new floor boards ....keep those wood chips moving nicely
Love the video keep up the great work with the videos
Evan you need to get yourself a pair of filson double tin pants and some suspenders perfect for cold weather outdoor work and easier to manage nature’s call then bibs
Evan, you put a smile on my face everytime I watch your videos. Can't thank you enough for that.Take care,be SAFE and have a blessed day.🚜👍👏❤️🙏
That chipper made smaller chips than I normally see some chippers produce. Which is great for turning the chips into compost.
Great video I really enjoy watching your wonderful videos Rosa
Chipping is fun!
Always enjoy doing this sort of work. It's hard but the result is so satisfying.

It would take a LOT of wood chips though.
Great video! Thanks Evan.
I bought the WoodMaxx WM-8H instead of the 8M because I have an under-powered old gas tractor. These chippers are GREAT!
Geter done that wood chipper is no joke. Evan great job Cleaning up around the shed. Great use of the wood chips.
Reverse and sudden brake will empty the wagon in one spot.
Thanks for sharing, that’s a mighty machine there!!
Great job stay safe love your videos thank you
Evan you could save yourself a lot of labor by backing the dump trailer then hitting the brakes hard to make the chips fall free. Beats shoveling and saves a lit of time. You might have to repeat that a time or 2, but it will work.
Gabby an old dump truck driver. LOL
Evan, you made a great choice with your wood chipper. I have one that I use with my John Deere 2520 CUT, a 26 HP machine. It works great!
Great job
I know the cost of steel isn't cheap but to put it down in the bed of the trailer would be better.

AWESOME VIDEO!!
That stuff would be really nice for animal bedding. Then put it in the compost piles. Really really nice wood chips
YOU guys are lucky because us over here in the upper penninsula of michigan we have a foot of snow on the ground and a storm brewing today DEC. 7th.....😒😒😒
Really looks a lot better now Evan. Thanks for sharing with us, stay safe and have fun around there. Fred.
👍👍👍👍👍👌great job nice clean up!!!
Great video of the tractor and chipper and dump trailer working. Can see them doing way more work on the homestead together
Great job Evan !😀
Winter project Evan new floor in the wagon.
Also if you have any sheet metal laying around you could put that on the floor to make it smoother and easier for debris to slide off. It helps sometimes to think like a lazy man. Saves the back ya know.
😁
Gabby
on the wide forked limbs, do what we call a curtesy cut on one of the side limbs. Cut half way thru the side branch and when the roller pulls it thru, it will fold back against the main branch and go thru
Keep up the good work love watching you on TH-cam I'm in hospital and enjoy what you do

I wasn't wearing a face shield when that tree fell on us at 10:03, but it didn't hurt a bit! Beautiful wood chip pile and firewood!

Thats a nice chipper. put a bag of triple 10 or triple 13 on that pile of chips to start the composting process
Ideal to push items to load better than reversing,
Looks good Evan I have Vermeer BC 700XL. It will grind awesome pull in thouse wide y's and grind it up like nothing. Have a great day.
Hi... Evan nice to see you, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🦃🐩🐕🐈🐐🐄🐖🐝🌱🌺🌹🌻🌼🌸🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍
That seems to be a great little tractor. Not too big not too small and that 67 hp still has great ability. How have you enjoyed working it since you got it.👍👍
I love the tractor. It's worked out great.
I was driving an 18ten wheeler moving gravel while being in university. When you want to unload your hydraulic trailer you lift it up move it a bit forward and than you back up just a little bit and hit the brakes. That will loosen up the load and let it slide down very easily.
Have you tried coating the bottom of the wagon with a paint on bed liner
Evan i would probably let the wood chips age a little because those wood chips might have acidic properties and could possibly harm your fruit trees
It will probably be a while before Evan can get to that but you are right about letting the woodchips age.
Seems like a pretty nice tractor .
My golf course superintendent and I wish we’d had a chipper like that this past winter. We cut down quite a few dead trees. A chipper like that would have made our job a bit easier.
Your apple trees are going to love that walnut mulch.....

You can get some plastic sheet to put on the floor to make product slide or maybe some sheets of tin Tom from Nebraska thank

New subscriber here. Enjoyed this video! Looking forward to the next one.

This is no joke I have a STIHL chain saw I payed over 500$ for it and I bought a saw off Amazon for 160$ and it out preforms the STIHL in cutting and running wise it will run laps around my STIHL
Next year for the dump truck, cheap and quick, get some steel metal as on roof for it .
First time I've seen your wagon. Looks very functional for a lot of things. Where did you find it?
Facebook market place. Somebody was selling it not to far away from me.
A trick as someone who runs a chipper daily for work -- cripple the limbs that won't fit (barely cut through them so they fold). That way you carry the one limb still instead of 3-5 limbs.
I hear the ms880 and a 6 foot bar is the ideal bucking chainsaw for youtubers 😂
Do you think it would make sense to furr out the wagon base with some other material, like masonite, in order to dump more easily? Love watching your channel and how hard you and Rebecca work in developing your property.
need to get you a small limbing saw
Love the work your doing, gives me ideas for what I can do with my little rk21 tractor. Just got the 54 inch mid mount mower and a piranha tooth bar for the bucket. Can't wait to get to use them all.keep up the videos and the hard work you do is inspiring to others. 👍
Thx
Nice. Chipper
Do you have a small lumber saw!
TYM, Country View Acres needs a backhoe attachment for that fine tractor. He needs to dig out those stumps behind the wood shed (move the shed back about 7-8 feet).
but there is a concrete pad beneath the shed. :)
Get some that stump killer on those stumps. And stack where you can.
If you know someone with a home sawmill perhaps you can get a new floor for the cart.
Question for the nice folk at Country View Acres: Do'ya ever git tha' urge to let loose an' jus' yell..Timber?
That thang eats !!
