I bought a wood chipper and broke it on the first day! Felling trees, fire wood, & clearing bush.

  • I cleared this area beside my shed because it's full of standing dead ash. The trees were a threat to the electrical line and property. My plan is to fill it in and use it as an expansion of my driveway. Good for turning the truck around, trailers, and general storage. Thanks for watching!

    Having used wood chippers in the past many times.Call up your local rent shop,and rent the biggest,chipper they have.If/when it breaks down its their problem.

    Harden Steel blade any metal shop can cut those for you. If you can weld use 7018 and build up metal and than use a grinder to reshape it.

    Ouch, I did it too, but it was a small nail,. After that I placed a strong magnet that is on the side of my chipper with a short string that I use. I like building stuff from trees & when they dry up, I throw them away, not always getting all the nails out. Once with the chipper I always let it run a bit longer to make sure everything is out of it.

    i like your wood cutting station you built. i believe if you put a horizontal board(s) out with a stopper for the logs, you could put another board to show you a 16" reference mark. basically slide the logs till they all hit stopper, look at your reference board, and cut all at the same time, and they will all be 16". or if you really wanna get crazy, make a mount for your chain saw, get a longer bar, and put it on a swivel up / down arm. slide all logs to stopper, lower chainsaw on arm to cut them all at once, again at a perfect 16".

      Not sure why he needs the uprights to be so long. He could shorten them up and it might make it easier to load.

    It looks like it might be possible to drill new bolt holes above the existing ones and put a new edge on the existing piece.

    I would get a big unit for that amount as they are built stronger. I used one that would take up to six inch diameter and it took the beating i wailed on it fine. The small ones get broke easy so its not a good idea to run a lot through it. I guess it is more a small bush chipper than wood chipper

      Aluminum conductors have completely replaced copper conductors in overhead power lines because of their lower cost and lower weight.

    @TheMuddatrucker 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Not that surprised it broke after seeing you ram that first big branch through it like you did and can’t believe you’d even considered a warranty claim!🤦🏼‍♂️ how was that the manufacturers fault?
    Click bait title too, the blades are a disposable item so wear & tear is normal but trying to cut steel with them and still expecting them to look brand new afterwards is asking a bit too much don’t ya think.
